Celebrity Constellation - Stateroom 7110

Celebrity Constellation – Stateroom 7110

The Celebrity Constellation stateroom 7110 is a verandah stateroom with a lot more storage room than one might think. 

On the left as you enter you find three doors, each about 18” wide. The first two open from the center to reveal a hanging bar for clothes. The hangers have a peg on top that fits into the ring assembly that rests on the pole. I found this set-up very annoying for a few reasons. For one, I like to use a hanger with clips to dry my swimsuit. Second, I like to keep my clothing sorted, and this didn’t always happen when we first hung things up – like when we got our laundry back. So, the rearranging of garments was a lot more cumbersome than if I could have just moved a hanger. There is a shelf above the clothes rod. You will find the life vests on the shelf, but there is some room left for small items. 

The next door opens to reveal that continuing shelf across the top. Next down is a shelf holding the safe. In our room, a small, folding umbrella was stored next to the safe. The narrow space to the right came in handy for storing a few dollars, which we used to tip room service. Down below this is a shelf followed by 6 drawers. Next to this door is a narrow panel with two 2-pronged hooks, perfect for holding the robes. 

Next to this panel was a built-in corner unit that housed the television. As there is definitely a shortage of outlets in this room, it is important to know that the outlet behind the TV has room for one item to be plugged in. This was significantly closer to the bed, so we used it for my husband’s medical device. Above the TV is a cabinet with two shelves. Below it is an open shelf, about 5 inches high or so. This is another handy little storage spot. Below this shelf is a cabinet door that opens to reveal the refrigerator with a drawer right above it. This space gets quite warm, so I would suggest storing something other than chocolate here. In fact, it really came in handy when a small article of clothing (like my swimsuit cover-up) was almost but not quite dry.

The layout for the room itself is fairly straightforward. Following along the wall near the TV, the wall has three floor-to-ceiling mirrors, which end at the edge of the dressing table. The dressing table has its own mirror. The dressing table has a small cabinet to each side, each housing two shelves. In our cabin, the blow dryer was stores in the right-hand cabinet. Personal note – the blow dryer was seriously underpowered, and I don’t have thick hair. I had to make sure to budget additional time for drying my hair in the morning.

Next to the dressing table is a narrow section of wall that is home to the only outlets (other than behind the TV). The panel is 2 units wide by 3 high. The top two are switches for the dressing table and the outside lights. The next two are US-style outlets, and the bottom two are European-style outlets. We were told that the room electricity would be upgraded during the next dry dock, but I didn’t write down when that is scheduled to occur.

The sliding door to the verandah is adjacent to this section – and opposite the front door. I mention it is a sliding door as our other cruises have been on ships with standard doors, and we really like this option. The verandah is a decent size for enjoying a morning coffee. It has two chairs, which are zip-tied so as not to be adjustable. I found the angle they had them set at to be uncomfortable, so I grabbed a cushion from the love seat to fill in. There is also a small table.

Continuing around the room in the same (counter-clockwise) direction, a very small loveseat occupies the space next to the verandah. Two petite individuals could probably be comfortable on it, but since neither my husband nor I have been petite since we turned 6 years old, one of us would sit there and the other would use the chair at the dressing table. It worked. There is also a small table in front of the loveseat, which came in handy for our room service trays.

Next up in our circle tour is a nightstand, followed by the bed, which we had pushed together, and the other nightstand. The telephone was on the nightstand by the loveseat. Pretty much we only use this to set and receive our wake-up calls. A lamp, which was fixed in pace, was there, as well. The nightstand had two drawers.

The bed itself was decent. It wasn’t “oh my gosh this is wonderful” but neither was it horrible. The had laid at least one blanket over top of the mattress to make it more comfortable. It was not bad enough for us to request a topper, and I really didn’t sleep poorly. There was plenty of room for us to store our suitcases under the bed. The room steward also stored the drinks he had removed from the fridge under there. We traveled with a large roller bag and two smaller roller bags, as well as my tote and my husband’s daypack.

The wall that run parallel to the bed is a great space for hanging hooks. It worked quite well to hang the cords for my husband’s medical device as well as our fan. We used one of our hooks to hang my husband’s backpack from the ceiling in the corner above the second nightstand, which also had a fixed lamp.

We both really liked the layout of the bathroom, with the toilet mounted on the wall facing the shower rather than being at an angle. If you aren't familiar with cruising, you will want to know that the toilets flush using a vacuum system. This uses a lot less water but is quite noisy. Also, you do have to step up into the bathroom, which can take some getting used to. Shelves on the right side for toiletries were adequate for us but might be tight for those who use cosmetics and/or a variety of lotions. One feature we absolutely loved was the nightlight - that is the glass "picture" to the right of the mirror. Leaving the door open a bit at night made it easy to find the way without running into things.

The walk-in shower (no tub in this room) was a bit on the narrow side, and the shower curtain (as opposed to a door) is something we hadn’t encountered on a cruise before. 

The shower has a clothesline as well as dispensers for shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. I found the products to be adequate but not as nice as the premium products on another line. There are two small, corner-mounted wire trays, as well, if you bring your own products. The water regulator is fairly standard. The knob on the left side of the bar turns the water on and controls the pressure. The knob on the right controls the temperature. The shower has a decent water pressure, and the shower head is removable to use as a hand-held unit.

The storage in the bathroom was impressive. The double-door cabinet directly under the sink is for storage of TP and tissues, but there is some extra room, if needed. Directly to the right of that is a cabinet that was perfect for holding our bath kits. The cabinet next to that houses the trash can. As with most cruise ship bathrooms, there is not an abundance of places to hang towels, so you need to get creative if you want to hang towels to reuse them. 

Overall, we really liked this room - and we loved spending time on our verandah. The lack of outlets could create a challenge if we had more electronics with us, but we were able to work things out just fine.
