Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food Cruises to Hawaii

This was my third Celebrity Cruise in Aqua Class, and my first since the Pandemic. I found some things were excellent, and some, well, they need work, or have suffered since the pandemic. For the great, THE STAFF! They were enthusiastic, helpful, friendly, and really went out of their way. I traveled with my 86 year old mother, and she loves attention, and she got it. Attention from the wait ...

I’d been on this ship in Nov ‘19 and loved every moment so when the opportunity to do another cruise on it this year was offered back then, I paid my deposit. The ship is supposed to be safe, full vaccinated passengers and crew. Passengers are expected to test negative before boarding. Their staff was apparently tested back in Vancouver 11 days earlier. The ship had Covid cases on board ...

We boarded Celebrity Eclipse in Honolulu for a tour of the Hawaiian Islands. We paid full price for a Balcony room and were a little disappointed to find all the passengers who booked inside cabins were given free upgrades to balcony rooms because the ship was only at 50% capacity. I also have a severe gluten allergy and I was disappointed at the lack of choice of gluten free options. The ...

I chose this cruise to avoid airline flights. Because I live in Victoria BC, I chose to do a BTB cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii and back to Vancouver, Yes, there were glitches, eg. missing one day in Hilo and one day in Maui, and yes, on the last 4 days of the second cruise, we were informed that there was Covid onboard. But.. these 2 cruises were beyond terrific, and this is from a solo ...

The ship remains very nice. We took the Celebrity Eclipse on its initial trans-Atlantic cruise from England to Florida in 2010. The life boat drill was awful. We were crammed into the photo studio and forced to watch a LONG cheesy video that we could not see or hear. The main evening dining was so-so. There were 3 nights I could not eat my meal. Pork chop was so tough I could not ...

We chose this cruise for a fall getaway to some warm weather. We didn’t do much tourist stuff as we’ve been to Hawaii and the islands several times. We enjoyed a couple of days in Honolulu at the Iilikai before departure on the cruise. SHIP: Is in pretty good condition overall. Yes some areas and items are becoming worn but not so obviously so it felt decrepit in any way. There are ...

Having cruised a numerous times with Princess, NCL, P&O, Royal Caribbean and Riviera Cruises (down the Nile), this experience was average at best with some areas of excellence and some very poor. Firstly I appreciate that Celebrity is a Greek Cruise Line (the 'X' standing for the first letter of the Greek owners family name Chandris) and merged into the Royal Caribbean brand by the same ...

We’ve been on a Eclipse before & had a great time, so when we were thinking about another cruise for our 50th anniversary & Eclipse was going from Vancouver to Hawaii, well, it was a nobrainer! We flew into Vancouver the day before & stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel, a bit pricey but they bring your luggage to the ship (actually to our stateroom), sold. We’d stay there again if cruising from ...

This was the second time on the eclipse and it doesn’t fail to disappoint. The ship was in good shape from the public areas to the cabin. Selected late seating as that was only thing available when booked, the staff wasn’t able to assign a perminate table for two the first night, but they accommodated us the second night and we stayed with the same table for the remaining 10 nights. The head ...

Review of Celebrity Eclipse We tried out the Eclipse on its ten day journey from Hawaii to Vancouver. We usually cruise on Princess so it was inevitable that we tended to compare the two. The Eclipse is a very elegant ship but we found that some of the venues were a bit sterile feeling, in particular the main dining room and the Quasar lounge. The main dining room is far too crowded, too ...
