CC did post my review and one from my wife and one from another cruiser that was also on the same cruise. ALL are negative!!!

Say "hi" to HD for us - HA!!! His name is Julian Brackenbury. You will recognize him, as he is the short Brit who struts around the ship.

PS Only good food is in the Tuscan Grill and Ocean Liner specialty restaurants at $35 and $40 per person, respectively.

Thank you. I don't think the post by your wife can be considered objective however. As for the other negative I did read that as well. I try to do my homework. That post was 3 stars and the chief complaint had to do with the food and the lack of ethnic music. However he also praised the politeness of the crew. The term "wonderful" was used to describe them and he also had high praise for the shows as well. The previous 10 passengers reviews ranged from 4 to 5 *'s and a few were 5+.

dogster, if you are looking to have the "walking the plank" experience, perhaps I could help you out and complain about you. If that doesn't work, I could show them some of your stories, and that might just terrify them enough to put you off.

jacket, unless I can find something more infamous than what I now know, you will have to hang tight with dogster, or make stuff up.

lol. I think it's best if we keep my literary masterpieces to ourselves, Sass. Funnily enough, not everybody likes being written about... can't think why.

Actually, as Marija knows, I'm prone to building the plank, hoisting it over the side and jumping without any assistance from anyone.

Here's an example:

I saw the Celebrity FB page and this issue was posted there. It was nasty. Me, no worries. Just looking f/w to getting away and having a good time, and meeting Dog and sass.

Well, surely you did not intend to sail with them again so why do you care! I personally look forward to my next 3 cruises (41 days) already booked on the Constellation. No, I don't expect any problems-we've already been on her over 8 weeks in the past and every cruise was delightful.

Just back from the Connie. A TR will follow after jet lag fades away. . The ship had a noro virus problem which hit me and my wife though it wasn't that bad. It did prevent us from our tour in Athens however. All we could do was take a cab to the plaka, walk a little, shop and go back as this minor activity was all we could handle. Overall the ships crew were fantastic esp. under the added stresses of super sanitizing measures. No condiments were on tables. All had to be handed to he passengers and even the crew had to put S+P on the food! And I did meet Mr. Brackenbury a few times. He was a gentelman to us and gave us a complimentary box of chocolate truffles. He can be my HD any time. JM2C. Larry

JW: Sorry to hear about the noro virus. Glad it was minor and didn't prevent you from having a good time. Sometimes it's all about attitude...
