Thread: Constellation - Dec 4, 2010 - Exotic S Caribbean

Decided we were overdue to a warm climate cruise in December vs. a trans-Atlantic. Anyone else ready for 14 nights in the islands?

We're booked on this one also. Just did the Equinox December 4 and really had a great time. Super ship, food, OK entertainment. Aqua class is THE way to go on the S ships.
Gearing up for March 25 and the Noordam for 10 days too...............baffles

Our most recent cruise was one of the TAs mentioned above - Equinox' first trip to the U.S. from Europe on 5 November '09. Not sold on AQ yet. Happy with anything aft, though, even with the (relatively) tiny aft balconies. We're looking forward (or aft, as the case may be) to being back on Constellation in our favorite spot, the back of the bus. As is always the case when school is in session, we'll be angling for one of the corner FV cabins.

Still trying to decide what cruise take between now and then. We were considering going back to a European river cruise, but since our last one just a couple of years ago, prices have doubled. It's hard to imagine, but a 14 night Amsterdam to Budapest river cruise in a 170 sq ft little cabin would pay for a freaking ROYAL SUITE for 14 nights on this cruise! Seriously - they're asking $5200 per person - double what they used to get for these trips - and they seem to be having no problems selling cabins.

So we're looking at a Baltic cruise (perhaps on Constellation) but that will probably have to be in July. It appears Constellation has been chartered for the first part of August - no itineraries shown, and it's due in dry dock long before then, so ???

Glad to see we've got some company on this cruise!
