Constellation dry dock..new paint scheme?

[Wile1170]

Does anyone know if Connie will receive the "Millie" paint scheme when she is in drydock in November? We are sailing on the first cruise after drydock with the new Cirque de Solei lounge and are wondering if her hull will be painted in traditional Celebrity glory

She is due to get the new paint and Summit will as well

It will be nice to see them in Celebrity's colors. When we boarded the Millie for the first time (before they changed her paint), we thought it was the worst looking ship (outside) in Celebrity's line. - just our opinion.

And I have the opposite opinion!! I loved the "old" paint job - made the ship look something like an ocean liner to me. The new one makes it look like a big white (and blue) cruise ship - virtually identical to all the other cruise ships out there.

Just [i]my[/i] opinion!

Happy sailing.

Sorry, but I don't know what the new paint scheme is. Can anyone help me to find it?

The Infinity has the new colors for the Millennium class ships.
Here is a link to Clebrity's website picture:

The Constellation is still the old colors - more blue and huge gold strip with red and gold lettering.

They are slowing bringing the Millie class in the same color scheme as the other Celebrity ships. My first impression of the Millie when it came out is "Whose ship is that?" Luckily it had the X on top to identify it.

My vote is for the "old colors"- much more classy and distinguishes it from other lines.

I'm sailing on the Constellation November 20th. Is that before or after the dry dock??

[quote name='jakedoc']My vote is for the "old colors"- much more classy and distinguishes it from other lines.[/QUOTE]The old colors for the Millie class (with the gold) - did not fit in with the original Celebrity ship colors (Horizon, Zenith, Century class) which were there long before the Millennium class. It did not look like a Celebrity ship except for the X.
