Just got back from a Baltic cruise on 27th June.
In general the experience was good compared to others but what I really hate is the 15% service charge on all drinks. I would normally buy some expesive wine and champagne to treat myself on holiday but did not do so because I resent this charge on top of already over the top prices.

The cost of photos is also far too high and it was interesting to see the large quantity of unclaimed photos on the final day - come on guys - you would see a lot more and make people much happier if you charged a fair price.

Tips.............dont get me started! Even the entertainments director seemed to be embarressed about the subject in his final talk. People dont want to budget for approx $450-$600 for a two week cruise - we want it included in the price. Gratuities should be included in the price when booked.

Also the internet charges at $0.65 per minute on a very slow system is far too high. In 2009 I expect internet charges to be free or provided at a much lower cost to reflect modern technology.

On the whole though I did like the Celebrity Cruise product and if they sorted the above issues I would not go with anybody else in future.

The entertainment was generally good except the comedians who might work well in working mens clubs but not quite good enough for a premium cruise line. The Jaz band ( Les De Merle) was the best act on the ship - absolutlely first class.

Just got back from a Baltic sea cruise on Constellation. We loved the ports but were disappointed in Celebrity and unless the price is dirt cheap we will never cruise them again.

The promise made in the brochure as regards onboard activities was not delivered so the days at sea became very monotonous.

Poor value for money and a similar delivery on the enjoyment level.

Do well to steer clear for what is promised to be a cruise to remember.

Our first cruise and a bench mark for all others we may take in the future. We have booked our second cruise with Celebrity. All entertainment was varied and to our taste. It is interesting to equate the daily all up expenditure of the cruise to full board in any 5* hotel to realise the excellent value.

I think you no longer get what you pay for with celebrity, all was nickel and dimmed. The cutbacks were very obvious.

This was our 13th cruise and our best so far. This was our 2nd time on Constellation and it was still the same captain whom the crew are proud to be under. The ship was even more sparkling than 3 years earlier and the crew are happy to be on board. All in All = our best cruise to date. Having cruised with Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Celebrity, Celebrity will always treat you famously and consistently give you 5 star treatment.

I would not recommend the MS Constellation if you want to party but if you want to relax and go to bed early this would be fine, although other cruise liners would probably do it better.

The ship is absolutely beautiful. I had great expectations for her and she exceeded them. The food was wonderful. They do not have Midnight buffets but the waiters walk around the ships' public areas with trays of food wearing white gloves. All those little touches are wonderful. I love Celebrity Cruises. Sail this itinerary with confidence, you will love it. I will be sailing this itinerary again in the future.

Our cruise with Celebrity on the Constellation was absolutely wonderful and relaxing.
