We have sailed with Celebrity 7 times now (this was the third time on the Eclipse). I am in my late thirties, and was sailing with my (nearly) 80 year old mother. Cruising is ideal as there is such a variety of activities on board, that we both can do our own things, and have a great holiday.

Our last cruise with Celebrity was on the Silhouette last October, and although good, we had felt a little disappointed. We were not sure if the standard levels had gone down or if it just was not a great cruise. Since then we have done a couple of taster cruises with P&O. P&O can't be faulted at all, but we still hankered after Celebrity before making a final decision.

This two weeks cruise to the Canary Islands on the Eclipse was fantastic. Great ports. Super weather (apart from it raining and being misty all the time we were in the Azores). The ship is just as we remember her (after two and a half years). Clean, beautifully decorated and very spacious. The cabin was clean and well serviced by our steward, Stanley. Read more
