Ros and I are not seasoned cruisers and generally choose our cruises by location and time rather than by line. However having cruised on Independence of the seas in January we had been told to expect 5 Star food when we travelled on Celebrity Eclipse. Sadly we were to find this was not really the case.
Having boarded at Southampton, a quick and easy process, we made our way to our Sunset Veranda stateroom. Now this was impressive. There was plenty of room and our veranda was spacious with table and chairs.
We were surprised to find on the first night that having asked for a table of 6 or 8 we were allocated a table for 2. Now I love my wife but we spend all day together and it is much nicer to meet others and discuss alternative issues and find out more concerning how to achieve great shore excursions without emptying the bank. Anyway this was resolved on day 2 and for the rest of the cruise we had a lovely table of 8 and made new friends.
