CELEBRITY CONSTELLATION!

I'm so excited right now this is going to be hard for me to type!! I found out the ship I will be on today, and I couldn't be more excited!!!! It's the Celebrity Constellation! Everyone seems to have a great ship and itinerary, but mine is especially great (for me, at least)! A little bit about the Constellation: It was built in 2002, renovated (or as they called it "Solsticized") in 2007 and in May 2010 it got a $40+ million overhaul. It carries around 2,000 passengers and has about 1,000 crew members onboard. There are 11 decks and lots of different restaurants, bars, clubs, shops and things to do and see. It has some really excellent reviews on Cruise Critic. The demographic is pretty old (I think), and that is because it's very expensive ($1000-$5000+), but has a luxuriously relaxing and entertaining cruise itinerary. Here's my itinerary for the next 6 months! (Expect lots of post cards!)
