Thanks for sharing this video. I will be going on the same itinerary end of June in July of 2025. I’m glad you described the ports and transportation situations. It looks amazing I can’t wait 😊😊Can you tell me if you used a private water taxi from the ship’s port in revenna to Venice? If so what was the cost? Did you book in advance? Can you share contact? Also can you share contact with private tour companies you used at the ports? It seems that celebrity’s tours are very expensive. However, I know you have to be careful not knowing the tour companies. Thank you again for sharing ❤

Thanks for the comment and questions. Everything is extremely expensive during peak season. I recommend booking the excursions early. We waited till a month or so before the trip to book the skip the line tours and prices were sky high. We used Viator for most of the skip the line excursions in Rome. In Florence (Duomo) we used Musement. There were no issues with either company and all the tours we took were great. That said, most of the skip the line tours require you to get to the location early to get the tickets so we did waste some time waiting for the tours to start. The prices for Celebrity excursions were high, but the benefit is a worry free excursion might be worth it (they will hold the ship if the tour gets back late). Regarding the transfer from Ravenna to Venice w/ the water taxi it was around $800. We used Viator as well but price seems to have increased since last year. For my wife and I, this was once in a lifetime trip so we splurged for the convenience. Note: One lady on the tender back to the the ship was raving that there was a ferry to go from the Ravenna port to Venice that was reasonably priced and quick, but I could not find any details on that. Good luck on your trip. You are going to have a fantastic time! I have additional videos on each of the excursions we took if you are interested. Feel free to ask any additional questions. Cheers!

@@AIWALKINGTOUR thank you for all the information. It’s so helpful. Did you swim at any of the ports? Was navigating to the train easy? Yes I would like to see your other videos. Are they posted on KZbin? Thank you 🙏

@@dawnfrey9682 - We did not swim at any of the ports, but did take a boat tour in Zadar and the water was incredible. We booked a boat at the scenic bridge right outside of old town. For getting around by train, download the TrenItalia App on your phone. You can plan out your trip with that. We only took the train once in Livorno/Florence stop. We opted to take a cab from the port to and from the train. You can see the longer videos on what my wife and I decided on for excursions in this playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PL3DzoXOunhrBpT5Uotj5BeZqS6SJUwqlC&si=QHj8NSs5jAN6cfWT

Hey, thanks for sharing this video. How about ship's entertainement? does it have karaoke after dinner? or just theater shows and not too much? thanks!

[@AIWALKINGTOUR]

There always seems to be some entertainment on board, but toward evening mostly small bands are playing. I do not recall karaoke on our trip in Europe. I did find a page that shows the Constellation Celebrity Daily planner, but it does not mention too much about the entertainment. Here is a link to a Caribbean itinerary from Dec 13, 2024. cruisewithgambee.com/celebrity-constellation-today-daily-program/
