Celebrity Constellation has some classy décor. The Grand Foyer is the central area of the ship open several decks above the stairway with balconies around it. The popular martini bar sits alongside it, and live music often plays on one of the balconies across from the stairs.
Fancy things could sometimes be found in hallways too, joining different flooring together.
Down by the shops there was a wall of video art.
One alcove had a brightly colored glass sculpture. I’m not sure if it was actually supposed to represent anything or not, but it reminded me of either snakes or kelp.
The ship also has a lot of strange artwork. Odd art objects almost seem to be a requirement for cruise ships, but this one had more than its share. Even the photos in the hallways leading to staterooms were mostly out-of-focus pictures of objects people wouldn’t normally take photos of like telephone poles and street corners.
When sailing on pretty much any cruise ship I often wonder who chooses the art and what they were thinking when they did. This ship was certainly no exception, with reminders around just about every corner.
Outside of the buffet there was a man made out of letters of the alphabet.
The solarium had a questionable statue too.
The stairways had some of the strangest art of all on the landings between sets of stairs. On the front stairway each case displayed some weeds. Mostly dandelions in different stages of blooming and plantains, but the top case had some taller weeds with just the plantains and no dandelions.
The middle stairway had what looked like glazed blobs of clay. Mostly they were just shapeless blobs, but one had some legs sticking out of it.
The back stairway had mostly things that looked like they were made either by or for small children, other than the bottom two levels which had jars of marbles.
Worms seemed to be a theme for several levels.
The strangest of the worm things was these earworms.
There’s always art for sale on cruise ships. Some of it is nice, but a lot of it is things that I can’t imagine ever wanting to hang in my house.
Paintings hanging around the ship aren’t necessarily to my taste either, though some are by famous artists so I guess some people like them.
There was some art that I liked though. There were some clever paper sculptures like this tea set in a glass case at the buffet.
I liked the giant paper tree picture outside of the fancy suite restaurant too.
I also liked the metal boat sculptures found in a few places around the ship.
A lower-level hallway had a giant wall boat.
Other places had boats too, though even some of those were a bit odd.
Whether it’s nice, interesting, or just plain weird it’s fun to look at the art on cruise ships.
The art is so eclectic. Some of the work is really interesting, but others for me are definitely in the “what were they thinking” category.
I haven’t seen a ship yet that didn’t have some art that makes me wonder what they were thinking. This was the first one with weeds and worms though.
a bit too much art for my liking, but some of them look pretty cool.
Cruise ships do tend to stretch the definition of what can be called art.
Quite the mixed bag of art- some of it appealing, some giving me Alice in Wonderland thoughts!
Cruise ships do tend to have some crazy art, and this one had more than most.
