Sunstar Front Sprocket 520:
Sunstar Steel Rear Sprocket 520:
D.I.D 520 Standard Chain - 120 Links:
The D.I.D Standard Non-O-Ring Chain is designed for low horsepower, smaller displacement mopeds, scooters and vintage motorcycles.
D.I.D 520 NZ Heavy Duty Chain - 120 Links:
Pinning your bike out of every turn might tear apart the stock chain, but D.I.D and their 520NZ chain will not let you, or your race for first, down.
D.I.D 520 DZ2 Chain - 120 Links:
The All New D.I.D 520DZ2 is the best value in a lightweight, high-performance chain designed for motocross racing.
D.I.D 520 ERT2 Gold Chain - 120 Links:
The D.I.D ERT2 chain is the most trusted chain in Supercross and motocross racing because of its reputation of meeting the high quality demands that are required when pushing the limits. It was designed with the intention of making a chain that is optimized for the purpose of racing. D.I.D beefed up the ERT2 chain by increasing the pin size by 3% to give the chain an average tensile strength of 8,100 pounds. Increasing the strength of the ERT2 chain did not come with a sacrifice of weight, in fact DID was able to shed 5% from the previous ERT chain.
D.I.D 520 ERV3 X-Ring Chain - 120 Links:
The D.I.D ERV3 X-ring chain is the ultimate high-performance, lightweight, low-friction race chain available and is used extensively by many off-road race teams. The ERV3 X-ring chain utilizes D.I.D's patented X-ring technology which reduces friction by 50% over standard O-ring chains for minimized power loss. The pins on the ERV3 X-ring chain have been put through a patented heat-treatment process to produce a pin that is 1.5 times harder than conventional pins. The result is a chain that is significantly stronger and offers better wear resistance than many other chains on the market. D.I.D ERV3 X-ring chains feature a gold-plated finish that resists rust and adds a little style to your motorcycle or ATV.
Renthal 520 R1 Gold Race Chain - 120 Links:
Renthal's R1 Works Chain is a high-strength non O-ring chain with excellent impact load resistance designed specifically to withstand the stress found in off-road applications. This chain is the choice where a combination of high strength, light weight and maximum power transfer are important considerations.
Renthal 520 R3 O-Ring Chain - 120 Links:
Renthal's R3-2 O-ring Chain is a high-strength sealed-ring chain with excellent impact load resistance designed specifically to withstand the stress found in off-road applications where an O-ring chain is desired. This chain is the choice where a combination of high strength, light weight and maximum power transfer are important considerations. The O-rings help extend chain life by retaining the special vacuum-injected grease near the critical pin area. Chain comes pre-stretched to shorten break-in period.
Sunstar 520 HDN Heavy Duty Non-Sealed Chain - 120 Links:
For a quality non-sealed O.E.M. replacement level chain, Sunstar offers the 520HDN (HDN = Heavy Duty Non-sealed). This cost effective replacement chain offers great performance and durability at a great price point. This chain is recommended for any motorcycle up to 250cc and is available in pre-cut lengths. It uses a clip-type master link and provides great strength with a 7,850-pound rating.
Sunstar 520 MXR1 Works MX Racing Chain - 120 Links:
Sunstar's MXR1 Works MX / SX / Off-Road race chain (MXR = Motocross Xtreme Racing) is a premium quality, highly durable non-sealed chain specifically designed for Motocross, Supercross and/or off-road racing. Featuring Sunstar's oversized TripleStar treated ultra hard pins and 100% heat treated components, the MXR1 chain is constructed to handle the demands of the highest levels of racing. This is also one of the lightest MX chains on the market thanks to its superlight design - the 520MXR1 120 link version weighs less than 3.6 pounds, yet is super strong with an 8,970-pound tensile strength rating. Its combination of strength, durability and light weight make it the top choice for serious racers.
Sunstar 520 Road Dualguard Sealed Chain - 120 Links:
Sunstar's heavy duty, street motorcycle chain model is the RDG series (RDG = Road Dual Guard) for 520, 525 and 530 applications. It uses Sunstar's DualGuard sealed ring street bike chain technology where the sealing ring has an 'X' shape - meaning there are two sealing points and two lubrication pools versus the one-sided, single-lip design of a standard O-ring. This sealed ring design type dramatically improves lubricity in high heat conditions while providing lower friction and longer chain life - and it is available for just about every street motorcycle on today's market. It comes in the natural color option and uses a strong rivet-type connecting link. For a higher performance road chain at a non-premium price, the Sunstar RDG answers the bell and is great for everything from everyday commuting to closed course riding.
Sunstar 520 XTG Tripleguard Sealed ATV & Off-road Chain - 120 Links:
An excellent choice for the most extreme off-road conditions encountered in ATV and/or off-road motorcycle racing, Sunstar's premier sealed Works level chain is the 520XTG (XTG = Xtreme Triple Guard). It features Sunstar's TripleGuard sealed ring technology meaning there are 3 sealing lips and lubrication pools per side of the ring versus a single sided lip that is typical of standard O-rings. This design effectively protects the critical areas of the chain from mud, sand, dirt and the harsh conditions encountered in off-road racing (hence the name Xtreme for extreme conditions) and the chain stays well lubricated for a long duration of use. The XTG is perfect for all ATV's and off-road motorcycles 750cc or less. All components are 100% heat treated and its tensile strength is rated at 8,460 pounds. It's offered in pre-cut lengths and uses a press fit, clip-type connecting link in the gold color option (gold outer plates / natural inners).
Note for installing X-ring chains: As X-ring chains are wider than standard roller chains, when fitting an X-ring chain to a motorcycle that was fitted with a non O-ring chain as original equipment, it is essential to check that there is proper clearance of the engine cases near the countershaft sprocket and any other places of close contact. Failure to do so could result in damage to the chain and motorcycle and could ultimately cause the chain to fail.
Note: Image is for reference ONLY, actual product will vary based on fitment and selection.

I choose this package for durability. The steel sprockets don't wear out like aluminum. I was skeptical about the Renthal chain having clearance issues on my CRF250X but have had NO issues with the chain other than having to remove 5 links prior to install and trimming my rear chain guard to fit the wider chain but no clearance issues at front sprocket. The gold wears off of the links after a while.

Everything bolted up great...just be aware of a new chain needing adjustments right after you ride it for the first time.. this thing stretched quite a bit! I had to adjust at least three times right away before it was pre stretched. Have probably 10ish hours on the kit with no signs of wear to speak of.. but I lube my chains religiously

Hugo Chávez was a great unifier. Not of all Venezuelans, as even the most casual observer of Venezuela realizes, but rather of the two polar political camps into which Venezuela divided during Chávez's 14 year reign.
Within the Bolivarian movement he created, Chávez was the unquestioned leader, bringing together the disparate factions that together made up the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). Cliques, distinct ideological groups, varied regional-based interests, and a new wealthy business class (the Boliburguesía, whose members experienced a rise from rags to riches due to their ties to the government) were all united by their support -- both principled and self-interested -- for Chávez.
On the opposition side, the one common thread that tied together a heterogeneous opposition alliance (the Democratic Unity Roundtable, or MUD) was the goal of removing Hugo Chávez from power. This vibrant and often passionate opposition to Chávez provided the glue that held together such diverse actors as socialists, conservatives, state-based parties, recently established parties, and parties linked to the country's discredited pre-Chávez political system.
Both the PSUV and MUD are expected to at least on the surface remain unified in the run-up to the presidential election, which will be held later this year. The pro-Chávez forces have already begun to rally behind the candidacy of interim president Nicolás Maduro, with Maduro's principal rival within the Chavista movement, National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello, putting aside his own personal ambition, for the time being, to present a cohesive Chavista front.
Within the opposition, Miranda state governor Enrique Capriles is virtually certain to be the MUD's presidential candidate. Unlike his principal rival for the October 2012 MUD nomination, Pablo Pérez, Capriles won his gubernatorial re-election bid in December 2012, while Perez lost in his attempt to lead the state of Zulia for four more years.
One interpretation of the Venezuelan Constitution is the presidential election must be held within 30 days of the president's death, while another is the election must only be scheduled within 30 days, with the election held at a later date. Regardless, one thing that is not in doubt is that given the PSUV's control of the executive, legislative and judicial branches, it will have no trouble imposing whichever of these two interpretations it thinks will provide it with the maximum electoral advantage.
Capriles faces an uphill battle in his second bid to become president. As Chávez's anointed successor, Maduro is expected to present his campaign as the natural continuation of the Chávez regime, surrounding himself with the image of the departed comandante, and framing the election in part as a referendum on Hugo Chávez and his legacy. Capriles must walk a delicate tightrope, aggressively criticizing Maduro and highlighting the deficiencies of the Chavista model without being seen as disrespectful of the recently departed Chávez or his achievements.
Assuming relatively comparable voter turnout, Capriles will need to convince approximately one million Venezuelans who cast a vote for Chávez in October 2012 to vote for him later this spring even as many of these former Chávez voters are more likely to remember the positive aspects of Chávez's legacy than the negative.
At present, the most likely (although not certain), outcome of the upcoming presidential election is a Maduro victory. This victory in turn would lead to a period of jockeying for power within the PSUV, as different factions and actors endeavor to obtain the maximum amount of influence and access to resources within the new regime. In the event the PSUV is able to successfully broker a stable power-sharing agreement, its prospects for consolidating its already formidable hold on power are quite good. If, however, the PSUV is ripped apart by internal discord following Maduro's election, then political, economic and societal conditions could deteriorate rapidly and significantly within the country.
The MUD faces quite a different challenge. Some of its more moderate members can be expected to formally or informally defect to the PSUV based on the belief that in the post-Chávez era they will be better off as members of the PSUV's conservative wing than of the MUD's progressive wing.
Absent the great unifier, the MUD seems destined to experience a fracturing of its diverse membership following the presidential election, especially if Capriles is defeated. Chavez, who was able to prevail over his political enemies while alive, might prove an even more devastating force with his passing.

great buy, comfortable, and flattering
This poncho is very comfy and flattering. It is very well made. I have received so many complements on this sweater every time I have worn it.
November 14, 2012
This is so soft and you would think because of the baggier cut it would not look good but it is so flattering and the brown buttons in contrast with the tan add to the character of this sweater.
November 8, 2012
Great item.
Love this item, comfortable, soft and doesn't snag so easily as some of the other sweaters I have bought. Wish you had more colors, I'd buy them too!!!
November 8, 2012
Love this sweater and it looks so great with jeans and boots
November 8, 2012
I first purchased this poncho in camel and loved it so much, I decided to order another in charcoal - as well as the striped shirt! I love the look, it's a comfortable fit and can go with so many other pieces like jeans, dress pants and skirts. This is a must-have this season!
November 6, 2012
Have the charcoal, want the tan, too!
I absolutely love this poncho. So much in fact, that I am considering buying a second color. It's super soft, and layers really well. The other reviews are absolutely right, it's very versatile, and works well dressed up or down.
November 2, 2012
Wow! So luxurious!
This poncho looks so luxe, it fits well (well it is a poncho, can't go too wrong there). I like how it can be dressed up or down. Very classic and chic!
November 2, 2012
Great sweater
I love this sweater. It can be wore for a night out on the town, a day trip to the fall festival and even to work with some great slacks and leapord pumps! Love this sweater for a lot of occasions.

"Very comfortable stay"
Reviewed Dec 12, 2013
A La Quinta traveler |
loved, loved, loved the location, walk across the parking lot to the mall! Very convenient to restaurants, banks, shopping, anything you could need. Staff at hotel was very friendly and helpful at all times of day or night and free breakfast in the morning was a nice benefit too although only instant coffee at breakfast bar, better coffee to be made in the room.

"Great Location."
Reviewed Dec 12, 2013
A La Quinta traveler |
When I arrived around 4:00 p.m. the front desk seemed as though they weren't sure what was going on with the rooms. One guest was given a room that had not been cleaned. I was asked if I would take a full size bed even though I reserved a King. I did get the room I asked for. The rooms are dark. Not sure why other then energy conservation. Bring a magnifying mirror just in case. It was difficult for me to work on my computer. Internet was slow from my room. No complaints about the cleanliness of the room.

"Beautiful Hotel and Well Run"
Reviewed Dec 12, 2013
Auntie1949 | New Hampshire
La Quinta Hotels are probably my favorite chain, since my Constant Canine Companion travels with me most everywhere & they are very welcoming to dogs. I chose this LQ because of Trip Advisor reviews and was not disappointed. It is a beautiful property, the lobby is spacious and attractive, the breakfast area well lit with television news on large screens, good food and ample quantities; the rooms are well appointed, clean and comfortable, as are the bathrooms. This hotel has adequate walking area for ones dog, which is a nice bonus. In addition, there's a mall nearby with a couple of good quality dining establishments. So, how come only "very good" and not "perfect"? The lamps in my room were of a very poor quality with wobbly shades and dim bulbs. The bed pillows were very small and much too soft; even using four or five of them I could not get comfortable. It is not very conveniently located for anyone traveling along the I95 corridor and was at least a 30 minute drive out of my way. Finally, I have to say the staff here is not the most welcoming or friendly. This is not to say this is a bad hotel, simply not "perfect".

Really enjoyed our week's stay at this LaQuinta. It's very clean, in a great location, with a very pleasant staff. Breakfast was better than what I'd consider "usual fare", with a really nice breakfast area. Lots of space to walk the dog so we both can get some exercise! I can wholeheartedly recommend this property, and will stay here again when in Midlothian!

"Traveling with the dogs"

David J | Blackwood, New Jersey
We have started staying La Quinta Inns because of their dog policy. We travel with our dogs and we know what to expect when we stay at La Quinta, never surprised by extra charges or policiies, it's always the same. This location (Midlothian) we stayed 2 nights and everything was perfect. The hotel was clean and everything seemed to be new and updated. No pet smells or signs of pets in our room. The location was perfect, lots close by, and right at the mall. The staff was very friendly and we could tell this property was well managed. We stayed while several youth sports teams were there. The staff was able to put us in an end unit where it was a little more quiet, but we never heard a peep. All of the kids that stayed were well behaved. The breakfast buffett was good too. We will definatly be back.

The Celebrity Theater hosts typical big-ship Vegas-style song and dance revues at night, focusing on Broadway and pop hits. Other evening headliners may include singers, comedians and musical acts.
Evening entertainment elsewhere on the ship emphasizes music, with bands in the Rendezvous Lounge performing 40's and 50's jazz standards, some pop songs (a la swing) and other danceable classics. The top-ship Reflections, by day an observation lounge for readers or sea gazers, turns into a (often sparsely attended) disco at night. Michael's, the ship's clubby cigar and cognac bar, features live sing-a-long piano music. Michael's Club also features evening events like Jameson whiskey-tasting (for $15.95).
The Martini Bar looks a bit like a frozen space pod, with a phosphorescent green bar with silver accents, topped by an icy surface for doodling. It's a combination of booze and entertainment, and the bartenders flip and juggle bottles of top-shelf vodka and gin in time with South Beach-style club music as patrons hoot and holler. Martinis of all colors and mixtures are $10 each, and a six-martini combo is $15. It certainly has a magnetic pull, and during sea-day demonstrations, small crowds gathered to clap and chant "Go Larry, Go Larry," as Larry the bartender executed the challenging six-martini pour.
Cellar Masters features self-service "enomatic" wine dispensers -- just grab a Riedel glass, swipe your card, and choose from three different sizes: an ounce, a half-glass or a full glass. (The distribution system has the added benefit of keeping bottles highly pressurized for up to three weeks.) There are numerous reds and whites on offer to satisfy most palettes, from a modest house wine to a $59-a-glass (Opus One 2003 on our sailing), and passengers can sample a few sips of the pricey stuff for a fraction of the per-glass cost. Human-free dispensing makes the venue one of the only 24-hour bars at sea. (If you have wine questions, however, it's staffed from 5 p.m. to midnight or 1 p.m.) The hotel director noted that he's seen passengers in their bathrobes in the early a.m. hours sipping away.
Editor's Note: Celebrity offers a variety of all-you-can-booze drink packages. For $44 per day you can drink unlimited beers up to $5 per serving and wine and spirits up to $8 per serving. The premium package, at $54 a day, allows you to drink every beer on the list, as well as wine, spirits and cocktails less than $12 per serving.
During the day, Celebrity is less activity-packed than Royal Caribbean, Carnival or NCL, and many passengers are content to get some reading done, participate in a wine tasting, take a dance class or enjoy a talk. The Celebrity Theater may host lectures, offering PowerPoint presentations on a variety of subject matter like the mating habits of dolphins or the exploits of the Viking civilization. Other activities may include art auctions, weight loss seminars and cooking demos. During sea days, the Reflections Lounge always features a row of passengers who line up to watch the ship's wake in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Considering the daily schedules, one thing that stands out is the number of wine- and liquor-tasting events held throughout the ship. Whether your drink of choice is red wine, small batch bourbon, margaritas or martinis, passengers have the opportunity to sample all manner of booze (fee applies).
The Celebrity Cinema, Deck 3 aft, plays second-run films, which are about a year out of theaters.
Dress Code
During the day, dress was resort-casual, but Celebrity passengers tend to dress up for dinner -- typically, button-down shirts and slacks for men, blouses or dresses for woman. There is also a good show of jeans on casual nights, albeit usually as part of the professorial sport-jacket-and-denim look. There were only two official formal nights on our 12-night Baltic cruise (though Celebrity's Web site calls for three on cruises of that length). During each formal evening, suits and tuxedos for men and fancy dresses and jewels for women were the norm, and only a handful of diners opted to bypass the penguin suits and eat in the buffet venue.
Celebrity Cruises is increasing its suggested gratuity by 50 cents per passenger/per day beginning on all bookings made on or after April 29 for all cruises that begin on or after the same day. The new suggested gratuity will be $12.00 per person/per day, if you're in a standard cabin; $12.50 per person/per day, if you're in a Concierge Class or AquaClass; and $15.50 per person/per day, for passengers in suites.
Public Rooms
Constellation's social locus is the Grand Foyer, a three-deck-high atrium with warmly illuminated, polished steps and decorative, gauzy curtains hanging from the ceiling. Several bars (coffee, martini, wine) and lounges and the casual creperie fan out from there.
Deck 3 features the Guest Services and Shore Excursions desks, plus a concierge desk for those looking to make onshore arrangements like car rentals and restaurant reservations. All passengers, not just those in suites, can take advantage of concierge services, free of charge.
The Photo Gallery, which brings out the gawker in all of us, leads into the Celebrity Theater on Deck 4. Prices begin at $19.95 for a single photo from formal night.
Funneling into the Celebrity Theater on Deck 5, The Emporium is Constellation's shopping destination, featuring the standard series of stores selling jewelry, Celebrity logo items, forgotten toiletries ($2.95 for dental floss, so try not to forget it) and duty-free cigarettes and alcohol. Itinerary-specific items are also available there; on our itinerary, there was an expansive collection of Baltic amber jewelry. And, just in case passengers had any lingering guilt about not buying tchotchkes in St. Petersburg, the Emporium held a "Russian Bazaar," featuring matryoshka dolls -- which we'd spent two days seeing onshore -- for inflated prices.
Online@Celebrity, the ship's Internet café, has been moved from Deck 5 to Deck 6, midship. There are four terminals and about 15 laptops set up for passenger use, and the space also hosts free (how to shop online, how to use Word) and for-fee computer classes (Rosetta Stone self-teaching language courses, starting at $25). Taken in industry context, Celebrity is a little stingy with its Internet minutes, especially considering the oft-frustrating at-sea speed. Pay-per-minute will run you $.65 a minute, but the following packages are also available: $29.95 for 49 minutes ($.61 a minute), $49.95 for 90 minutes ($.55 a minute), $79.95 for 150 minutes ($.53 a minute) or and $99.95 for 237 minutes ($.42 a minute). Wi-Fi is available, but only in designated locations like the Seaside Cafe and the conference rooms on Deck 3 (the best signal, says the Internet manager). If you want to access the Web with your laptop, make sure you consult Online@Celebrity's resident techie. There are some quirky rules to establishing a Wi-Fi connection.
Unfortunately, there are no self-service laundry facilities, which is especially bothersome on a 12-night sailing, and per-item charges border on price gauging. Do-it-yourselfers should bring detergent/use the shampoo and wash in their cabins.
Editor's note: Celebrity Constellation went into drydock on April 16, 2013, for 19 days to complete its "Solsticization", as the line calls it. This will include adding 66 brand new cabins, and the introduction of 107 AquaClass cabins. Other new features will include: new verandas for suites; an upgraded basketball court; Craft beer in Michael's Club; and the introduction of the iLounge, with Apple workstations, informative classes on the latest products and technologies, and a retail store and a new meetings and conference space. The ship will also have Wi-fi throughout, new color schemes, new carpeting and new upholstery reflective of the Solstice Class; and new sun loungers on the pool decks.
Affectionately known as "Connie" by its fans, the 91,000-ton, 2,034-passenger Celebrity Constellation debuted in 2002 as the fourth and final ship in Celebrity Cruises' quirky Millennium class. Over the years, Constellation and its sisters have developed quite a few admirers, with passengers drawn to the entrance-making atrium and marble stairway, the ocean liner-themed, gut-busting French restaurant, and the impressive (for a big ship) two-to-one ratio of passengers to crew. Design-wise, Constellation features numerous eccentric flourishes, like the existentially unsettling "Word Thief" sculpture -- an amorphous, kneeling figure constructed out of strings of words -- and a pair of curved sea-view elevator banks that undulate over the ship's superstructure.
Surpassed in size, innovation and, some would say, style by Celebrity's innovative Solstice-class vessels, the line decided to transform the Millennium-class ships in the image of their more modern sisters. Constellation was the first in the series to receive the $40-plus million overhaul during a 15-day dry dock in May 2010.
Much has changed for the ship in the form of decor and onboard features, but Constellation's most visible alterations focus on the Deck 4 and 5 social hub, which forms a two-floor, shiplong link between the San Marco main dining room (aft) and the Celebrity Theater (forward). The focus here is on casual food and drink options. The old Martini Bar has been replaced with a new one, a glowing green pod with a shaved ice-topped bar and juggling bartenders. Cellar Masters, a wine venue utilizing a self-service dispensary system, has replaced the original, staid Champagne Bar. Bistro on Five, a for-fee creperie that was a surprise hit on Solstice (and on Equinox and Eclipse, the ships that followed), has been added to Deck 5. Constellation's old coffee bar setup has been completely redone, and the line has added a gelateria, from which the scent of fresh-made waffle cones wafts about the ship.
The other notable dry-dock addition is the Tuscan Grille. The for-fee steak and wine option has replaced a lovely but apparently revenue-draining flower shop. Combined with the new creperie and gelateria, the trio of dining venues has effectively doubled the options onboard Constellation.
Visually, the ship has sprung toward the more contemporary design introduced by Celebrity Solstice, with solid-colored upholstery added to lounges in lieu of the candy stripes and checker patterns of the old Connie. There's a lot you can do to change the feel of the ship through new carpeting, upholstery and bedding, and the cabins have been reinvented in fall colors: oranges, browns and reds, replacing the original turquoise-and-yellow Caribbean flair.
Despite the alterations, much of what made Constellation many a cruiser's pet remains intact. Ocean Liners, its stalwart for-fee French restaurant, still doles out a blend of rich dishes and white-glove service. Passengers continue to look quietly out to sea as they ride in the exterior glass elevators. The whimsical art lives on, like the series of PVC sculptures of green weeds ("Abandon") on display in the forward stairwells, and statues -- a hipster, big gorilla and coyly laying Rubenesque nude -- still stand guard by bathrooms, deck chairs and the solarium pool.
Constellation is a ship that makes the most sense for someone 40-plus looking for an experience that straddles mega-mainstream and luxury-lite. In both price, quality of food and service, and general ambience, Connie deftly balances the choices offered by big ships and the intimacy offered by smaller vessels.
That said, this is still a mega-ship, and the buffet can get frantic during the sea-day lunch rush, art auctions still over-stay their welcome, and "talks" that aim to promote products and services rather than enlighten sill abound. And, while the modern additions are mostly successful, there are a few misses (with caveats). On our 12-night Baltic cruise, the Martini Bar initially blasted its trendy South Beach beats into the wee hours of the morning -- much to the chagrin of many passengers. The hotel director put the kibosh on the party after a few days. A port-heavy European itinerary with an older audience that rises early to prep for onshore activities may not be the best setting for a Martini Bar. (Caribbean or shorter Mediterranean cruises might be better.)
And I had one or two qualms about the cabins. A ship sailing summer Baltic and Norwegian Fjord cruises, at which point total darkness is rare, absolutely needs black-out curtains in all seaview accommodations.
Beyond these mostly minor quibbles, Constellation offers a pleasant big-ship experience. Indeed, it's still a floating city -- with 10 bars and lounges; French, Italian and crepe alternative restaurants; a sizeable casino and nightly Vegas-style entertainment -- but it's all wrapped up in a slightly more refined package.
Fitness and Recreation
In terms of spa-to-ship ratio, Celebrity Constellation's AquaSpa is cruising's largest -- a 25,000-square-foot complex that features a glass-and-steel solarium with a large heated thalassotherapy pool, hot tubs, a spa cafe and hardwood loungers; a for-fee thermal suite; a full-service hair and nail salon; 13 treatment rooms; and a fitness center.
Speaking of the solarium, it's one of Constellation's most tranquil spots, and the Rubenesque nude lying sidelong puts all who enter in a pleasant mood. We were sailing in the perfect region for such a warm, relaxing spot -- a Baltic Cruise, during which the weather can be windy and cold during the early part of summer -- but the place was never overly crowded. But all tables were usually accounted for by card-players and lunchers. The thalassotherapy pool features four large faucets, from which gush a constant stream of warm water. There is no fee to use the Solarium.
Constellation's decently equipped gym features a variety of Life Fitness treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and weight machines. I had no trouble snagging a treadmill on the sea days following my 5,000-calorie feeding frenzies at Ocean Liners and the Tuscan Grille. Cycling, Yoga and Chilates (a lower intensity version of Pilates) are $12 per person. Stretch and group cardio classes are free. Personal training is available for $85 per hour session or $210 for a three-session package. Take note that the 5 session "Cruise Special" was priced at $350 -- the same per-session cost at the three-session package.
The Steiner-run AquaSpa offers the standard pricey treatments, including a Swedish massage ($119 for 50 minutes), teeth-whitening ($199) and the now firmly entrenched Botox injections for your face. Folks at the spa told me about 20 people had the procedure during our cruise; prices start at about $300, but a (free) consultation is required to determine how much it'll cost to remove wrinkles on the brow or around the mouth or eyes. More unusually, the spa has begun offering a long-term hair-straightening procedure.
Look out for port-day spa specials like an offer that lets you mix and match three 20-minute treatments for $99.
The AquaSpa complex also features various "self-treatment" rooms, including The Persian Garden suite, which offers an herbal steamer, Turkish bath, tiled loungers and rainforest shower. The number of Persian Garden passes is limited to 50, so book a full-cruise pass on the first day if you're interested. Access to the Persian Garden is $99.
A private Rasul mud room is available for $95 per couple for 50 minutes of action.
His and hers saunas are available for free in the men's and women's locker rooms.
Celebrity Cruises was the first line to offer acupuncture at sea. Constellation's stand-alone acupuncture venue is located on Deck 6. Hours are very limited.
A midship pool area, complete with two pools, several hot tubs and plenty of whimsical sculptures (a big gorilla was a favorite) was somewhat underused during our Baltic Cruise, although sunbathers took full advantage of the lounging opportunities when the rays were there. Naturally, when the ship repositions to warmer climes, the pool area becomes the sea-day hub.
There's a jogging track on Deck 11; three times around equal a kilometer (or 5/8 a mile), so a little less than five times around equals a mile. For the sports enthusiast, a multi-use court with basketball hoops and mini-soccer goals are up on Deck 12 -- this area was largely left alone during the dry dock, and it shows; it's beset with rusted corners and ripped nets.
On our early-June sailing, there were 18 passengers younger than 18 (of 2,000 total), but during school holidays or summer vacations, there may be 250-plus children onboard, according to one youth counselor.
Celebrity breaks down kids' groups into Shipmates (3 to 5), Cadets (6 to 8), Ensigns (9 to 11) and Admirals (12 to 17). During peak family cruising seasons, teens are further broken down into 12 to 14 and 15 to 17. Toddlers (under 3) are permitted in Fun Factory only with parental supervision.
Celebrity Constellation's Shipmates' Fun Factory children's area -- located on Deck 11 -- features all manner of toys, a bank of video games and draped area for movie-watching. There's an adjacent splash pool, ball pit and climbing apparatus. (Under 3's can use the facilities with parental supervision.) Teens also have their own venue, the Tower, a super-cool, cylindrical, windowed structure that sits atop Deck 11 and features a mini-pool table, flat-screen TV and video games.
Age-appropriate activities are scheduled for each grouping. The youngest cruisers might enjoy fingerpainting or making a cowboy hat, while older kids might participate in sushi-making demos and hip-hop dance classes. Other activities include scavenger hunts, Rockband play and group sports activities. During sea days, there are scheduled activities from about 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. On port days, there are activities from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., but lunch (on port days) and dinner (each evening) parties from noon to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., respectively, are $6 per hour per child (for 3- to 11-year-olds). Nightly slumber parties, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., are also $6 per child, per hour, with an immediate surcharge for late pick-up (free on the last day of the cruise).
A small arcade, adjacent to the Fun Factory, features the typical mix of gun battles, car-racing and excruciating "use a robot claw to grab a prize" games. In a generous touch, each kid is given 30 minutes of free arcade play to rid crime from the streets of Tokyo, hunt big game and drive souped-up Mustangs.
Babysitting is available in the Fun Factory on port days from noon until 2 p.m. and in the evening from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. for a fee of $6 per hour per child. In-cabin babysitting for children 12 months or older is subject to availability. Fee is $19 per hour for up to three children in the same family.
Parents with young children need to bring formula, diapers and wipes, but there are extra supplies onboard, should they run out. Strollers are not available for rent, so passengers should bring their own.
Fellow Passengers
Celebrity attracts an upper middle-class passenger base, the majority of whom are experienced travelers. It was mostly couples or groups on my particular cruise, typically in the 45 to 70 age range. During the summer and over school holidays, the number of kids onboard may balloon to 250 or more.
When Constellation is in Europe, the passenger mix is international, with a roughly even blend of North American and European cruisers, most of whom hail from the United Kingdom (the largest Continental contingent), France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain. Passengers from Japan, Israel and South America were also onboard our sailing. In the Caribbean, expect the breakdown to skew much more North American.
Celebrity Constellation features a variety of cabin categories to suit any passenger's needs, from tiny insides to lavish 1,500-square-foot suites, and 60 percent of all accommodations feature verandahs.
Constellation's standard cabins -- insides, outsides and balconies (called "Deluxe Oceanview") -- average a paltry 170 square feet (38-square-foot balconies), about 15 to 20 feet below the industry average.
Decor features hotel-style white bedding with light brown accents, rust carpeting and striking red love seats thrown in for a shock of color, all of which replaced the flamboyant turquoise-and-yellow Caribbean decor of the old abodes. (For a before and after, check out part three of our
refurb slideshow
Insides, outsides and balconies feature two twin beds that convert to queens, safes, small desks, stocked mini-fridges, flat-screen TV's and bathrobes. The mini-fridges are locked; have your room steward open yours and clear out the for-fee booze if you want to store your wine or water. Shower-only bathrooms have hair dryers, shampoo, moisturizer and bar soap. There is no shower gel.
I was traveling alone, so I had no issue with drawers, but couples I spoke with said they were a little stressed for space -- especially with having to pack for a 12-night cruise. There are drawers hidden in a secondary closet in each room, which also houses the safe. There's another drawer above the flat-screen TV, which is also where extra bedding is stored.
I had two minor gripes with my standard balcony cabin, both of which were curtain-related. During summer in the Baltic, the new window curtains were no match for a vibrant 3 a.m. sunrise, and I had trouble falling asleep with my drapes emitting a gentle nuclear glow. An eye mask would have done the trick. A second irritation was the creeping, clingy shower curtain left in place during the dry dock. On the advice of a Cruise Critic reader, I solved the riddle early on. Pull one side of the curtain just outside the bathroom, then close the door over it. Might take a little tweaking, but with the now-shorter curtain pulled taught, there's no chance of feeling its tingling embrace.
For those looking for a little more space and a few more amenities, the ConciergeClass cabins are 191 square feet with 42-square-foot-balconies. Added touches for concierge passengers include welcome bubbly, a pillow menu, nightly canapes, a 32-inch TV and nicer balcony furniture. In 2012, Celebrity expanded the ConciergeClass services to include an exclusive pre-departure lounge with free coffee and juices. Sky Suites come in at 251 square feet with 57-square-foot balconies.
Continuing up in size, Family Oceanview cabins are 271 square feet with enormous 242-square-foot verandahs that feature pairs of loungers and tables with two chairs each. Inside, there's a partition separating the "master bedroom" from the lounge/extra bed area.
Eight 467-square-foot Celebrity Suites feature lovely floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows (but no balconies), a jetted tub and a pair of entertainment centers. The eight 538-square-foot Royal Suites (195-square-foot balconies) add more space and feature whirlpool tubs on the verandahs. On the top of the list are a pair of 1,432-square-foot Penthouse Suites with massive, 1,098-square-foot balconies. These suites also feature a baby grand piano, should you wish for a private concert or to tinkle the ivories on your own.
All suite passengers enjoy the service of a butler, who can help pack and unpack, set up in-cabin meals and help make onboard arrangements. Other suite extras include complimentary dinner at a specialty restaurant (one dinner for cruises of seven nights or less, two for cruises of eight nights or more); priority check-in; in-suite breakfast, lunch and dinner; complimentary espresso and evening hors d'oeuvres.
There are 26 wheelchair-accessible cabins, including insides, oceanviews, balconies, concierge class cabins and Sky Suites.

Celebrations as baby prince begins royal career
Jul 23rd, 2013 - International News
— It's Day One of parenting for William and Kate. After the excitement, fatigue and joy of childbirth — emotions shared with a nation — the young couple is expected to bring the prince home and start to care for him.
But the lad's name — and his likeness — remain a royal mystery. And as the infant child begins a long journey expected to see him someday become a king, Brits — and indeed people from around the world — joined the royal family in celebration.
"It's a Boy!" was splashed across many front pages, while Britain's top-selling The Sun newspaper temporarily changed its name to "The Son" in honor of the tiny monarch-in-waiting.
A gun salute to mark the child's birth is expected later Tuesday.

Evan Davis
Yorba Linda, CA Saturday, July 7, 2012
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in on June 17th, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library released interviews with key staff charged with investigating whether there were grounds to impeach President Nixon. This is the first time that many of these individuals have spoken for the record about the work and inner politics of the impeachment inquiry. A selection of these interviews have been televised for the first time on American History TV this summer. This is an oral history from Evan Davis, who supervised the group of young lawyers working to determine what constituted an impeachable offense. One of the lawyers working on this question was Hillary Rodham, future first lady and Secretary of State.

On November 22nd, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, propelling his vice president, Lyndon Johnson, into the presidency. In December 2013, C-SPAN3's American History TV will air oral histories from those closest to LBJ. We begin with Liz Carpenter, who served as Johnson's executive assistant when he was Vice President and who was later named press secretary and staff director to Lady Bird Johnson. In this interview, Carpenter recalls her time with the Johnsons – including LBJs love of gadgets, campaigning, and his advocacy for women in the workplace. This interview was conducted by the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library.

Forty years ago – on October 20, 1973 – the Watergate scandal reached a crisis point when President Nixon fired Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and abolished the office of the special prosecutor – prompting the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus. These events came to be known as the Saturday Night Massacre. Jill Wine-Banks was a Watergate Assistant Special Prosecutor in 1974 and 1975. In this oral history interview taped for the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, she recalls the prosecution's strategy, the Saturday Night Massacre, her questioning of Nixon secretary Rosemary Woods, and the impact of the president's resignation and subsequent pardon on the Watergate case.
At the direction of Congress, the voices and experiences from the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-20th century are being documented in an oral history project. This effort is a collaboration of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture, the Library of Congress and the Southern Oral History Program at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. American History TV on C-SPAN3 is televising them for the first time.
C-SPAN remembers September 11th, 2001 through the stories of Americans who were at the White House, U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon – and in the skies above Washington. Major Heather Penney recounts the drama in the skies after District of Columbia Air National Guard pilots scrambled to intercept incoming hostile planes. She describes why F-16's initially took off from Andrews Air Force Base unarmed – and what she was prepared to do to bring down a plane piloted by terrorists. And she recounts how later that day she helped escort President Bush and Air Force One back to Andrews Air Force Base.
Luigi Montani joined the military at 18 and was sent to Korea in 1955 to patrol the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). In this oral history from the Korean War Veterans Digital Memorial, he describes this dangerous "free-fire zone" and what it was like in the army's infantry during the immediate years following the Korean War. This interview is one in a series with veterans airing on American History TV to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice this summer.
In this oral history from the Korean War Veterans Digital Memorial, former 371st Bomb Squadron Staff Sergeant Thomas Stevens recalls his experience in the Air Force during the Korean War. He discusses his basic training and what it was like being the "eyes and ears of the pilot." This interview is one in a series with veterans airing on American History TV to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice this summer.
Former Marine and Korean War veteran Jack Allen sits down for an interview with the Korean War Veterans Digital Memorial project. As a telecommunications expert, his Marine unit was among the first in North Korean combat zones. He also carried supplies for soldiers under fire. In describing the Marine philosophy, Mr. Allen says that the Marines "never retreat, we're only attacking in a different direction." This interview is one in a series with veterans airing on American History TV to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice this summer.
On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which resulted in the forced wartime relocation of more than 110,000 Japanese Americans into internment camps. Now, on the August 10th anniversary of President Reagan's signing of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 – which provided an apology and compensation to those forced from their homes – we hear from Norman Mineta on the congressional efforts to seek re-dress. Mineta's family was detained at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming. He later served 20 years in Congress, and as a cabinet secretary to Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. He recorded this oral history for Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project, which is based in Seattle, Washington.
Former combat medic Joseph Gibson went to Korea not even knowing how to find the country on a map. In this interview recorded for the Korean War Veterans Digital Memorial, he remembers his friendships with Allied soldiers, but also the bullets raining over him near Pusan as he ducked for cover in a ditch. This interview is one in a series with veterans airing on American History TV to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice this summer.
As the Korean War broke out, Joseph Owen was a young U.S. Marine anxious to get into the fight. He worried, in fact, that the war would end before he could get there. Instead, he and his men found themselves in one of the most storied battles of Marine history. Facing overwhelming Chinese forces and sub-arctic temperatures in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, Owen bore the responsibility of getting his green troops out alive. His story was recorded by the Korean War Veterans Digital Memorial Foundation. He begins by talking about his service during World War II.
