The ports were outstanding albeit Celebrity outrageous fees to transfer you from the port. What a shame.
Shore excursion to Herculeneaum was a five star
Shore excursion in Malta could have been better had they included a walk to the second archeological site instead of watching them sell us limoncello for one hour
We decided to take the train into Florence and although they gave us a form ...
This was our 4th Celebrity Solstice class ship. We have done Silhouette, Reflection, and Equinox before sailing Eclipse. Of all our previous cruises aboard Celebrity, our vacation aboard the Eclipse had the least "pop" of any of our previous sailings.
Embarkation from Barcelona was a breeze. Our cab from our hotel dropped us directly at the check in area and we were aboard within 15 minutes! ...
The ports were exceptional. Eclipse is beautiful and easy to navigate! The embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly and easy! Our cabin was set up just as requested & our cabin steward was very efficient and responded quickly to our requests! We ate in the main dining room every night except for one night at the Tuscan Grill. The food was very good and our waiter and assistant waiter were ...
Food was excellent, the attendants outstanding, Guest relations members called you to follow up on issue, the whole crew is really caring. Never had such a good experience
Tender service was fast
Entertainment might be a little bit more varied than just singer.
Enrichment activities could be improved, eg teaching water painting rather than just give you colored pencils to do
Always ...
I had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I wanted to utilise the time whilst I was fit. It covered the Aegian coast which we had talked about visitin several times, it was likely to be warmer than England and originally we hoped to see Barcelona before embarking.
As for the boat. I personally thought the ship was a little too large and space had been sacrificed to squeeze in more cabins. ...
This was our second cruise with Celebrity and altough we where open minded it didn't tick our boxes. Find a table in the buffet was an achievement. The waiters in the buffet not at all helpful severall times. In the dining room food was never very warm . No matter how nice the soup is if it'ts not warm it's not good.
The Eclipse is a beautiful ship , the cabins are very good ( not very clean ...
We chose this cruise for the ports and for the fact that we would embark and disembark in Barcelona (one of our favourite cities).
We had a few glitches on the first day but after that everything fell into place and the rest of the cruise was wonderful.
When we booked the only OV cabin available was 3174 and we were worried that it would be noisy but we had no problems throughout the ...
The itinerary was the reason for choosing this cruise. Having sailed on 3 other Solstice class ships, we wanted to sail on Eclipse and were not disappointed! Celebrity has come through again with stupendous service from check-in through disembarkation. This ship was refurbished and it shines. Cleanliness and service is a hallmark. Our cabin was great with an attentive stateroom attendant and ...
We chose the cruise because it had a good itinerary. We weren’t disappointed. While there were occasional blips in the dining service the staff was very accommodating and working to do their best. We didn’t feel that the upselling of merchandise was too prevalent but there was a big push to get you to book the specialty restaurants. We enjoyed the ‘anytime dining’ because we were able to meet ...
Itinerary was promising, but disappointed by 2 days in Dubrovnik, when 2 days in Naples, Malta or Civitavecchia would have been better. Another disappointing feature was the impression that Celebrity is always trying to get extra charges wherever possible. The ship provides virtually no help whatsoever to those passengers who do not want to take their very overpriced tours. The entertainment was ...
