In other news, it is said to be the debut of the new hotshot lawyer, Muart Mith, in the riveting case against Jandro Blair. Jandro abused 9 pandas and at the rate of $100 per malpractice, that comes to a total of 9 million dollars. Muart is suing on the account of John Wilderness for punitive damages and emotional heartbreak of Perry the Panda. It is sure to stir up quite the frenzy!


In mid-2021, ''Celebrity Constellation'' was supposed to receive a multi-million dollar refit, but it was postponed until Spring 2024.

GTS Celebrity Constellation (formerly Constellation) is the fourth and final Millennium-class cruise ship built for Celebrity Cruises, a subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Group. She was renamed in May 2007 to add the "Celebrity" prefix,[2] joining her three sister ships: Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Summit, and Celebrity Millennium.

She was built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France. The ship is powered by a COGES[3] power plant of gas turbines and a steam turbine providing up to 60 megawatts for the electric systems and two 19 MW Rolls-Royce/Alstom MerMaid azimuth thrusters for propulsion. In 2007, an additional diesel engine was fitted as a fuel-saving measure.[4] The ship can run on any combination of the gas turbines or diesel. In port, she generates electrical power from the diesel.

During the summer period the ship sails to the Mediterranean, repositioning to the Caribbean in the winter months.

Celebrity Constellation was scheduled to complete an extensive renovation in May 2020.[5] However, as a result of the business impact from the Covid-19 pandemic, these plans are delayed until a future unannounced date. Another rumor that Celebrity Constellation and sister ship Celebrity Infinity are to be sold or leased to Spanish cruise line, Pulmantur, has been denied[6] by Celebrity Cruises.

In mid-2021, Celebrity Constellation was supposed to receive a multi-million dollar refit, but it was postponed until Spring 2024.
