Jo-Jo21 The Casual Dining option requires a reservation. There's a $2.pp charge to your ship's account. In addition, there is a pasta & pizza bar that you can enjoy, too. That does not require any reservation.

Hi aloanldywe're in 8112 next month... what was it like? How's the general location etc?

[ceeceeblue]

Cool Cruiser - Am leaving on April 19th on the Connie. Can't wait!!!!! Have been on the Century and Galaxy and love Celebrity. How many formals did you have onboard and were there any other times a man needed a jacket? I have heard conflicting reports and wanted to go to an "authority". Everyone makes the Connie sound terrific.

[suzadoll]

Funcouple,

Do you remember if Connie had ping pong tables???

My son loves ping pong and I want to bring are own balls if they have it.

Thanks!!!

[WatchHill]

Ping Pong tables are on deck 10 near the glass elevators.

Does anyone know whether the CONNIE has

a DVR or, VCR in the cabins?

Our cabin will be 6019..a forward OV.

Thanks...:)

[WatchHill]

6019 is a Cat 5 stateroom and has a 20" TV. Penthouse and Royal suites have DVD's and VCR's. Celebrity and Sky Suites have VCR's.

We're on the CONSTELLATION on April 28. First time on X. Does anyone know if there are board games that can be signed out from the library, or from anywhere else on the ship?

[WatchHill]

Games & books can be signed out of "Words" - be sure to return then by the end of the cruise, otherwise they'll add a significant charge to your onboard account.

Thanks.

I have not been on the Connie before.

We were on the Mercury and, Galaxy.

They both had VCR's. I sorta would have

thought that the Millinium class ships would

have also had either a VCR or DVD, in a Cat. 5 OV.

 

Oh well..on the Atlantic crossing, it would have

been a good time to catch up on new movie.

 

Thanks, Darcy.

What pier does the Connie dock at while in St. Thomas? Where does the tender let you off at on St. Martin?

 

Thanks for you help

[Shine]

JCLJN: when we were in St. Maarten we docked at the pier, (we didn't tender) and in St. Thomas we were at Havensight....(this was on the re-positioning cruise of 3/18).

St Martin -- At the pier, no tender (only one other ship on that day)

 

St Thomas -- At pier, Havensight, about a 15-20 minute brisk walk to town -- plenty of cabs if walk is too much.

I do have to agree Ryan was excellent as asst. Ive had him twice as a waiter and was suprised to see him on the constellation. He remembered me right away. Plus he remembered I always wanted coconut ice cream and made sure I got it. Great service.

[lumpy]

Does anyone know the hours of the Bar at the Edge of the Earth in the Reflections Lounge?

[rebeccalouise]

Went on the Millenium in May of 2005 and loved it so much that I booked the Constellation in April of 2006. I honestly didn't think I could love a ship more than the Millenium but the Constellation stole my heart. It has ruined me for other cruise ships.

[elena7seas]

We sailed on the Connie in December 2005 and loved it so much we booked the Millennium for April 2007...Southhampton to Barcelona...a great itinerary. (We're also on the Summit this November).

 

I enjoyed the Connie so much...do you think we'll be let down at all on the Millennium? What did you find to be the major differences in the two ships?

 

Thanks!

[Bud&Dorie]

Does anyone have any infor on cabin 6000 on the Connie? It seems like a very large outside room, but facing forward. Thanks for any info....

[poolwife]

Was wondering how these rooms are? Cruising in October, 2006, Canada/New England on the Constellation for the first time. Sounds so nice!

[AUNTDEBBA]

Hi All

 

Didn't read all the post but the question of who was recommended as good service. If you are like me and my family we spend all day at the pool and any chance we get sans port time. We found a waiter we liked and tipped generously the first time and something a little extra with each service, From first service until the end of the cruise we never had to search for a waiter (although not difficult of Celebrity) we hit the pool and our drink were delived within about 5 min and anyware Charles saw us he stopped by to say hello and on a couple of occassion the round of drinks were on him. So my expierence is that although Celebrity is great in service if you reward good service with a little extra it becomes extrodinary service
