Is it true that Princess charge for the use of the tenders to shore? I have just been told that we will have to pay to get ashore when we go on our Mediterranean cruise later in the year. Is this true? I should stress that it was a passenger that told me this, it certainly didn't come from the cruise line.

I have booked a cruise on Celebrity Constellation for next February and was very excited about it but since paying my deposit I have read some very worrying reviews about both the ship and Celebrity as a cruise line. May I ask the community on here for their opinions on both points please? Is Constellation really so scruffy and worn out that it could spoil the cruise? Bearing in mind that it still has more than 10 months of sailings before our cruise, I am concerned about the reviews that suggest it is bad. I hadn't realised when I made the booking that the ship goes into refit immediately after our cruise. Initially I wasn't so bothered because, again accidentally, we were in the same position with our very first cruise, on Eclipse. That was fine, in fact, more than fine because we've booked another Celebrity cruise on the strength of how much we enjoyed the first. But then I started reading the reviews. Not only are the majority of Constellation's reviews poor but the reviews for Celebrity don't reflect the cruise line I remember, in fact they are becoming quite scathing. Would we really have to pay for classes and talks? The web site makes no reference to extra charges for all the things that used to be included in the cruise price so I am worried. I would really appreciate some advice from everyone on here on both the ship and the cruise line. I'd rather lose a deposit than have a terrible cruise.
Thank you
Princess Cruises: charges for tenders?

Good question. It was one of those situations where the person telling me - part of the group going on the Princess cruise later this year - was convinced by whoever told him and others piped up saying they’d heard that too. So I said I would check with people who would know the facts: the people on the Cruise Critic community boards. And you all have, thank you, I am so grateful. I will report what is fact back to my fellow travellers.
