Couple Cruises 51 Nights To Decidedly Avoid Real Life, Rate Beds and Bathroom Robes

KEY POINTS

•Tammy Barr and her husband sailed for 51 nights across six back-to-back cruises on Celebrity Constellation last fall.
•They stayed in various cabin classes including interior, ocean-view, deluxe ocean-view, veranda, and concierge, comparing features and costs.
•Perks like discounted casino deals, balcony space, and concierge cocktail parties factored into their recommendations for future bookings.

Last fall, Tammy Barr and her husband embarked on a nearly two-month-long cruise marathon on Celebrity Constellation, sailing 51 nights straight across six back-to-back voyages from Rome to Tampa. They tested all abode types: from their cozy, window-free $550-$700 interior bunker (perfect for avoiding morning sunlight and existential dread) to deluxe ocean-view rooms with windows so big they could host a yoga class (adding about $100 per person, because who doesn’t want downward dog with sea views?). With nightly casino offers for discounted sailings, freezer-filled minibars, balconies boasting 40 square feet extra for dramatic sunset performances, and bathrooms that felt identical save for possibly plusher concierge-class bathrobes, they’ve penned the cruiser’s guide to beds, balconies, and booze perks served at the helipad party with officers sipping bubbly. If splurging, Tammy recommends the standard veranda for outdoor sighing, not the concierge class, whose perks are nice but mostly hinge on a fancy couch that doubles as a queen bed.

Why sleep one night on a balcony when you can confuse interior, ocean-view, and deluxe with mostly rearranged furniture and varying window sizes for 51 straight days? Also: bathrobes apparently determine cruise class now.
