I spent 50 days on the same Celebrity cruise ship in 5 different rooms. Here's how they compare, and which is the best value.

"I sailed on Celebrity Constellation in interior, ocean-view, veranda, and concierge-class cabins. Some lower-tier rooms felt similar to me, mostly just differing in configuration and floorspace. Concierge class was great, but if I were paying full price I'd go for a standard veranda room. Last fall, my husband and I sailed on the Celebrity Constellation for 51 nights in a row on six back-to-back cruises."

"We did so using offers for discounted sailings that we received while playing in the onboard casino on a Celebrity cruise we'd taken earlier that year. Our almost two-month journey began in Rome and ended in Tampa, and we spent each sailing in a different cabin trying the various room classes Celebrity offers. Ultimately, we were able to sail in interior, ocean-view (standard and deluxe), and concierge-class cabins. Here's how they compared, and which I'd book next time if I were paying full price."

Last fall, my husband and I sailed on Celebrity Constellation for 51 consecutive nights across six back-to-back cruises using discounted offers obtained in the onboard casino. The journey started in Rome and ended in Tampa. Each sailing used a different cabin class to compare accommodations. Cabin types experienced included interior, standard and deluxe ocean-view, veranda, and concierge-class. Lower-tier rooms often felt similar, differing mainly in layout and square footage. Concierge class provided superior amenities and experience, while a standard veranda offered the best value when paying full fare. Price differences and personal preference shaped the choice to favor the standard veranda at full price.
