Celebrity Constellation vs. RCCL Allure

[laedw]

I am travelling solo in March 2014 and have booked a balcony guarantee on the Allure for a 7-day Caribbean trip. But I am considering switching to the Celebrity Constellation for a 4-day Bahamas cruise in March 2014. Since I am travelling solo and am interested in the entertainment on the ship, would you advise that I stick with the Allure? Thanks.

Allure has the Broadway musical Chicago, plus a couple of aquatheater shows. It's going to be hard to beat that.

There is no NO comparison between four days on the Constellation and seven days on the Allure.

 

It's like comparing an ant with an asteroid.

No comparison. 7 nights vs 4 nights - 7 nights wins!!! Allure - remendous amount of entertainment options from theatre shows to comedy club to several different night clubs, karaoke, casino, lounges, street shows, etc. Multiple dining options. Constellation - one (great) show option each night, 2 dancing options, a few dining options, a few lounges.

The ships are simply completely different - atmospheres, amenities, demographics, etc. Both are excellent for what they offer, both offer very different experiences. Constellation and Infinity are our favorite Celebrity ships by far, and Oasis/Allure are our favorite RCI ships by far. But, cruising solo, I think I would still go Allure as there is just so much to do and so many opportunities to meet people! And the full 7 nights - well, that makes the decision for me right there!

Enjoy, whichever you choose.

I agree with the rest of the folks "X" has a great product but you have to go with Allure.

If entertainment is your largest priority then Allure is a MUCH better choice. So much more to do activity wise, especially for a solo traveler. Constellation will provide a more upscale, relaxing type experience (and FAR less smoking areas), but will have a fraction of the entertainment and nightlife that Allure affords. The seven night versus four night is also significant.

Absolutely. No doubt about it. Stay with Allure!

Is your guarantee a neighborhood balcony guarantee or an X guarantee?

The guarantee is an X guarantee. I have just been assigned Cabin #6288. Can anyone give me any information about the Jazz Club -- is it traditional or smooth jazz? Thanks so much for everyone's input! :D
