kerry304 135 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Have received an email offer from my TA for the Celebrity Constellation, an 11 nights cruise around Italy and Croatia etc and the flight from London Gatwick is only £49 each!!! Early September, 8th No idea who it's flying with but the whole cruise with flights, coach transfers to ship and cruise iteself is £709 each I'm presuming its an inside cabin but still, good price! Would you be tempted for that price? Ive not sailed aboard Constellation before.. is it an 'old' ship? I may ring & see who the flights are with (probably someone ive never heard of!)

KeithnRita 688 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 We cruised on the 'Connie' for New Year 2008 to the Southern Caribbean. It was a fantastic cruise on a fantastic ship. We loved the layout of the ship and the size, just over 2,000 paxs. The ship has been in service since 2002, however it was just recently refurbished. Sounds like a great deal! kerry304 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rum+Sun 96 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Sounds a really good deal, these things always come available when i cant get the time off work! Did you find out who the flights are with Kerry304? Wonder what the supplement is from another airport? kerry304 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxbranning87 8 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 This seems to be a remarkable price I must say. Please do let us know the outcome of the flights kerry304, it certainly is intriguing. kerry304 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rachel 44 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 That is an amazing deal, £709 including flights is ace. kerry304 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smtcan 275 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 We were on Constellation last spring. She is an older ship, but in very good shape. We like the size and layout of this class of ship, and are sailing on the Millennium, a sister ship in September. Americans seem to be very nervous about Europe at the moment and many are cancelling cruises, so probably last minute space has opened up, leading to some bargain prices. kerry304 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kerry304 135 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Morning, I just wanted to update you as I did phone to enquire about the flights, surprisingly they were direct with British Airways, leaving Gatwick at 8.25 am and returning into Gatwick at 16.50 pm. There were other airports available at a similar cost (approx £50 more) like Manchester but Gatwick was the cheapest. The bad news is after mulling it over for a few days while we've been away for the weekend I've phoned again last night and all the cheap flight seats are gone It's now only available from Birmingham but we're talking nearly £300 each more! So, the moral of the story kids is if you see a bargain and you want to go....book it there and then! I blame the husband for wanting to 'have a think about it' 2torts, Rum+Sun, Terminator and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
