We Arrived at Southampton and parked using Parking4Cruises which we have always found to be reasonably priced and efficient.
After dropping off our cases outside the terminal we went inside to wait for embarkation which was earlier than notified and being a little added bonus. We have previously cruised with Celebrity and this was to be our 3rd cruise on the Eclipse. On boarding we were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine, very nice, and after a short walk around had a drink at our favourite venue the Martini Bar.
Having been on the Eclipse before we knew our way around and found it as welcoming as the first time.
Cabin was very clean, well maintained and in a good position with no noise or disturbance experienced.
Steward kept the cabin immaculate and nothing was to much trouble for him.
