First Time Celebrity on "Connie"

[FirstCruise2331]

We've just booked the Sept 28th sailing on Connie from Venice! We've been on two RCI cruises so looking forward to trying Celebrity. We had looked at Silhouette in the Carribean, but decided to stay in Europe this year and are taking in two days in Venice before and then two days in Barcelona at the end.

 

Now to read some reviews!

You will love her! Our first Constellation cruise was in December 2015, and we have cruised her twice since, most recently a Transatlantic last April from FL to Rome. Have a wonderful cruise.

Thanks Marie, we are excited. TA must've been great. Some friends of ours we met on Ovation are also booked, so it will be fun.

I love the Connie! its a nice ship, easy to get around and the wait staff just wonderful. We did the reflection twice after the Connie but our maiden celebrity voyage was wonderful. Enjoy!

It is a great ship. It was our first Celebrity cruise ship too. In early 2000's it was rated the best ship in its category!

Enjoy Venice & Connie. Our first cruise on Connie was this past April/May 2016 - Rome to Venice - the whole cruise was amazing. We enjoyed our trip so much we've booked the Connie again this March 2017 - roundtrip Singapore to the Far East.

 

You'll get to enjoy Connie after her dry-dock & refurbishment. Have a great trip!!

Loved our cruise on Connie.

 

We recently did the RC Harmony of the Seas transatlantic, and spent 3 days pre-cruise in Barcelona. Really enjoyed our time there. Enjoy!

We were on the Connie last August, Barcelona to Venice with 2 days on both ends, best cruise ever. You will love it, Barcelona was great and Venice is incredible! it is a very expensive but loved it and the ship is perfect, not to big and not to small and has everything you want and need in a cruise ship.

We were on Connie last April, Italy, Turkey & Greek isles cruise out of Rome. Had a wonderful time , great ship. Also , Venice & Barcelona, two awesome cities... although you may want more than 2 days in Barcelona... just my opinion...

Loved Connie last February in the Caribbean. There's a lot of funky art around the ship (not the auction variety). Check it out if you have time to kill on a sea day (and if that's of interest to you). We asked for a tour of it, and found it interesting. Happy sails.:)

Connie is a truly elegant lady. My bride and I ascended her gangway for three voyages over the past five years. One 10-day Panama Canal, one 10-day Mexican Riviera and a long haul, 16-day TA.

 

Her upkeep would have passed any white gloved inspection. The morale of her crew was outstanding. The food left little cause to dine anywhere except the MDR. Her buffet was standard fare.

 

Our TA was commanded by one of Celebrity's most outstanding Masters - Captain Nick Pagonis (no longer with the line). The Panama Canal voyage was commanded by the affable Captain Peppas.

 

For us, the icing on the cake was Perry Grant performing in Michael's Club. In our opinion, Mr. Grant (also gone from the line) is The BEST Entertainer on the Seven Seas.

 

We also relished the talents of Finis Henderson and the now-retired Judy Kolba.

 

You will love the old girl Connie!

 

Smooth Sailing!

We are taking our third cruise on the Connie just before you, Sept 7. First cruise was 10/13, second 2/16. Love her. Great size, elegant, immaculate. Enjoy!

thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences, Connie sounds great. We love travelling and have never had a bad holiday (vacation). We loved both of our previous crises, both completely different so looking forward to a different experience this time too.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the Constellation. We are booked to sail in May from Rome to Barcelona and I was getting a little concerned. Your feedback makes me feel much better. Looking forward to our trip!
