Rare MVPinBoynton Posted May 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2018 We have just posted a review to our website with lots of photos of our recently completed Arabia/Suez Canal cruise on the Celebrity Constellation. Also included are menus from all of the bars and eating venues. What an amazing cruise! It was a part of the world we have not been to and we were so pleased with all of the ports; as well as our pre-cruise in Abu Dhabi and post-cruise in Italy. The UAE and Oman are such lovely, clean and most of all friendly places. There were so many gorgeous places to see and experience. They should be on everyone’s bucket list. Here are a few photos of the beautiful sights in those places. We also got to stop in Aqaba, Jordan, where I was able to finally visit one of the top places on my bucket list Petra. A truly unbelievable place. We then spent several days in the beautiful Umbria part of the Italian hill country. Probably the exact opposite sightseeing from the Arabian desert cities we visited at the first part of the vacation. We saw so much beauty on this cruise vacation. It was certainly one of the best vacations we have ever had. The review is located on our website, which is linked to in my signature. I hope it is helpful for those of you that are planning a vacation to this beautiful part of the world; or that it brings back some fond memories to those of you who have been able to visit these places.

Rare JoePDX Posted May 30, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Your reviews are always a joy to read. Last year in May we transited the Suez Canal on Oceania Nautica. Following us a couple ships back was Constellation. :-) Thank you for sharing! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted May 31, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Wow 1/2 hour reading only the Pre-cruise. I will continue later. It is one of our longer reviews. It contains about 30,000 words and 1,250 photos, so I know it isn't a quick read. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted May 31, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Great review...thanks for taking the time! On the link to the Dubai Frame, it mentions a "Dubai Pass"...did you research that and decide against? Since we were staying in Abu Dhabi and only had a one day tour in Dubai, the pass wouldn't have made much sense for us. Had we been staying in Dubai, then I would have researched it.

MSCruiseFan Posted May 31, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks for sharing your review. We were on the same cruise but were doing different excursions so you have given us a great view of some of the things we missed. This was our first venture into this part of the world and it was somewhat overwhelming. Petra was our highlight of this cruise and we agree that the weather was MUCH better than we expected that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyam76 Posted May 31, 2018 #19 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thank you so much! We are in 1110 on the Constellation in July - I think just opposite your stateroom. Did you hear any noise from the movies on the Rooftop Terrace? And I never knew you could buy food up there - I thought just on the Taste of Film nights!

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted May 31, 2018 Author #20 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thank you so much! We are in 1110 on the Constellation in July - I think just opposite your stateroom. Did you hear any noise from the movies on the Rooftop Terrace? And I never knew you could buy food up there - I thought just on the Taste of Film nights! We never heard anything in our cabin. It is a very quiet location. I was also surprised to see a food menu for the Rooftop Terrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyam76 Posted May 31, 2018 #21 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thank you! We sailed in the same stateroom a few years but that was before the Rooftop Terrace was added. Love the location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIP TRAVELER Posted May 31, 2018 #22 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thank You so much for the great review. We are sailing this cruise on the Connie in April of 2019. The detail was so interesting and answered a lot of questions we had about different ports on this cruise. Excellent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patca Posted June 1, 2018 #23 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I have waiting for this report, since we are spending 4 days in Abu Dhabi before our Constellation cruise in December. I followed your roll call and got some good information. Your reports are always interesting and your photos are beautiful. Very good information. We have been considering the hop on hop off bus, but may reconsider and take a private tour. I am checking out your tour company. We also live in Fl, but have decided to take a non-stop flight from Orlando to Dubai and then taxi to Abu Dhabi. Our cruise stops in Dubai for a few days. Thanks for all the help.
