Chose this cruise because it was a Repositioning cruise to S. America. Spent 4 days in Barcelona, exploring the city and enjoying all that it has to offer. Embarkation was quite crowded, but the lines moved smoothly. We had outstanding service on the Eclipse, both cabin attendants and dining staff were attentive and very friendly. Cabins were adequate and were in excellent shape. Our cruise ...
We were traveling with friends and my friend found the cruise. We had traveled on Celebrity before so we decided to go. We were concerned about the number of sea days but that was never a problem. There was plenty to do onboard. The staff was excellent from our room steward, Pablo, to the servers in the dining room and specialty restaurants. The entertainment was the best of any cruise we ...
This was our first cruise to South America. Crossing the Equator to the southern hemisphere is a unique experience. The 16 night itinerary from Barcelona to Buenos Aires included several ports of call we’ve never visited, and the cost was reasonable. We’ve sailed on the Eclipse several times, and were not concerned with getting bored on many days at sea.
We arrived in Barcelona after a 2 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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! ...
