This was our second cruise with Celebrity and altough we where open minded it didn't tick our boxes. Find a table in the buffet was an achievement. The waiters in the buffet not at all helpful severall times. In the dining room food was never very warm . No matter how nice the soup is if it'ts not warm it's not good.
The Eclipse is a beautiful ship , the cabins are very good ( not very clean ...
We chose the cruise because it had a good itinerary. We weren’t disappointed. While there were occasional blips in the dining service the staff was very accommodating and working to do their best. We didn’t feel that the upselling of merchandise was too prevalent but there was a big push to get you to book the specialty restaurants. We enjoyed the ‘anytime dining’ because we were able to meet ...
The ports were outstanding albeit Celebrity outrageous fees to transfer you from the port. What a shame.
Shore excursion to Herculeneaum was a five star
Shore excursion in Malta could have been better had they included a walk to the second archeological site instead of watching them sell us limoncello for one hour
We decided to take the train into Florence and although they gave us a form ...
Food was excellent, the attendants outstanding, Guest relations members called you to follow up on issue, the whole crew is really caring. Never had such a good experience
Tender service was fast
Entertainment might be a little bit more varied than just singer.
Enrichment activities could be improved, eg teaching water painting rather than just give you colored pencils to do
Always ...
The itinerary was the reason for choosing this cruise. Having sailed on 3 other Solstice class ships, we wanted to sail on Eclipse and were not disappointed! Celebrity has come through again with stupendous service from check-in through disembarkation. This ship was refurbished and it shines. Cleanliness and service is a hallmark. Our cabin was great with an attentive stateroom attendant and ...
The ports were exceptional. Eclipse is beautiful and easy to navigate! The embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly and easy! Our cabin was set up just as requested & our cabin steward was very efficient and responded quickly to our requests! We ate in the main dining room every night except for one night at the Tuscan Grill. The food was very good and our waiter and assistant waiter were ...
This was our 4th Celebrity Solstice class ship. We have done Silhouette, Reflection, and Equinox before sailing Eclipse. Of all our previous cruises aboard Celebrity, our vacation aboard the Eclipse had the least "pop" of any of our previous sailings.
Embarkation from Barcelona was a breeze. Our cab from our hotel dropped us directly at the check in area and we were aboard within 15 minutes! ...
I had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I wanted to utilise the time whilst I was fit. It covered the Aegian coast which we had talked about visitin several times, it was likely to be warmer than England and originally we hoped to see Barcelona before embarking.
As for the boat. I personally thought the ship was a little too large and space had been sacrificed to squeeze in more cabins. ...
We are a couple - late 40s/early 50s.
We have 2 previous cruises under our belt - 7 nights fjords with P&O and 15 night TA with Princess.
We picked this cruise primarily for the itinerary - and it also came at a great price.
We were on Celebrity Eclipse - Cabin 1046 - Concierge Class and had Anytime dining.
Barcelona
Embarcation - incredibly messy - no-one appeared to stick to their ...
We chose this cruise for the ports and for the fact that we would embark and disembark in Barcelona (one of our favourite cities).
We had a few glitches on the first day but after that everything fell into place and the rest of the cruise was wonderful.
When we booked the only OV cabin available was 3174 and we were worried that it would be noisy but we had no problems throughout the ...
