This was our second cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse and we were happy to find that the Eclipse was just as beautiful as we had left her in the previous year. We booked Aquaclass following fabulous food in Blu on the previous sailing.

Parking and check-in at Southampton were both quick, straightforward and very easy. Before we could say 'Martini Bar', we were on board with a glass of champagne, taking in the lavish, art-filled environment. The embarkation was made even more exciting as we ran across friends from the previous cruise on board who were also in Aquaclass. The only difference that I noticed from the previous year was that the average age of the guests was much higher than the previous cruise, but this may have been due to the Baltic ports as out destination.

We had opted for the alcoholic drinks packages and found that service in the bars was excellent. It was particularly useful in Blu as we both like to try different wines with our meals (we have the food and wine pairing class from last year to thank for that) and found that the wine by the glass selection was very good and the sommeliers were happy to suggest different wines and provide those essential top ups. We did spend rather a lot of our time in the Martini Bar, where the service was exceptional and the drinks were highly creative. We tried the Molecular Bar too, but found that this area lacked atmosphere. The drinks package was useful during the day too - lots of hot drinks in Cafe al Bacio with some of those oh so tempting cookies.

Cabin A2

Cabin was very clean and quiet. Not directly under the overhang.
