Celebrity Eclipse Review
An inaugural cruise to remember
Rating by category
Additional details
Booked this cruise a long time ago as the "inaugural" cruise, since then a lot of water has flowed. The ship was delivered early and so put in a 2 night mini cruise, the because of the volcanic ash Eclipse did a rescue mission to bring back stranded Brits from Spain.
However this was still classed by Celebrity as the inaugural cruise.
Travel from Leeds to Southampton was arranged via a coach, was OK but coach was not as nice as the Eavesway service that P&O use, that having been said it WAS perfectly acceptable.
Cabin Review
Stateroom was 1551 on deck 11 - a word of warning most of the mid ship staterooms have a "massive" overhang to the balconies from the deck above. This was not a problem for me because - 1. at the time of year of the sailing you don't expect to sunbathe on your balcony and 2. I personally am not a sun worshipper. There is plenty of room around the pools, decks and lawns on the top deck for the sun worshippers
