We just completed another Celebrity Cruise and continue to be quite impressed with the overall experience. The staff on board truly makes the cruise and every person greets you every time they see you. They are all willing to stop and talk or answer questions from waiters and assistant room attendants to the Ship's officers. It is a very friendly experience and we continue to be impressed with the Eclipse and all of the Celebrity family. Of course there are travelers on board who expect too much and complain as a hobby, but the staff seemed to give everyone as much attention as they desired.

While the So. Caribbean caters to sun lovers, water lovers and shoppers, we also had plenty of opportunity to get some history, culture and education as well as terrific entertainers.
