We joined the ship after spending time with family in Scotland - I'm from there though now a Canadian citizen. We decided to do our first Transatlantic instead of flying back.
The night before the cruise we stayed at the Premier Inn a walk away from the cruise terminal - modern and reasonably priced. Since our recommended embarkation time was 2:15 we left our luggage at the hotel after ...
We chose this cruise mostly for the itinerary. Boston and NYC did not disappoint. The approach and sailaway from Mid-Town Manhattan were spectacular. Bermuda and Nassau were less wonderful.
We had booked a private tour for six in a van for eight but the company (Winsome Tours) was a no show. Thanks to a "Taxi/Tour Marshal" at the dock we were able to call the number. We got the owner who was in ...
Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Critic Review TA October 29-November 13
We had an excellent cruise. The ship travelled the North Atlantic route so from Southhampton to Boston was rocky with decks closed several days. Surprisingly the rocky travel continued to Bermuda and beyond. We wonder if the Captain was traveling the shortest route to conserve fuel regardless of passenger comfort.

Celebrity Cruises – Broadway and Beaches cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse. – October 29th 2016 from Southampton to Miami - via Boston, New York, Bermuda and the Bahamas.
This was our first experience with Celebrity cruises and so after reading all the cruise reviews and watching numerous ‘u-tube’ videos etc., we were expecting good things, particularly as the Celebrity Cruise Line is noted to be ...
This was our first TA cruise but our 5th time on the Eclipse. It felt like we were visiting an old friend. I won't describe the ship as this has been done many times before, I will just describe my first TA experience.
Even on booking the cruise I was worried that I would be bored with the six days at sea from Southampton to Boston and boy was I right! The first two days were OK as the weather ...
Although my wife and I are not seasoned cruisers, we have sailed on the Eclipse a couple of years ago, and enjoyed the experience. We thought it would be nice to try a Transatlantic crossing, even deciding on a back to back cruise, adding on the Caribbean for a little winter sun before flying back from Miami to London. The dining from Southampton, we found to be more our taste than the slightly ...
This review is largely about the new entertainment package which Celebrity have introduced in the last month
As a veteran of nearly 20 Celebrity cruises I have to say that a change is not before time as the old shows had passed their sell by date. Celebrity have now brought their entertainment in house so they now produce and stage their own shows, and I am afraid that the consensus of opinion ...
Overall, the experience was very good, the boat was clean, bright, and well maintained. The traffic flow was well managed by the layout, so it never had bottlenecks like some cruise ships forcing diners through the photo studio etc. which was great and one of the reasons we like celebrity ships. The biggest disappointment was in the service, not the quality of the service, but the lack of people ...
Second Voyage on the Eclipse for me and will not be the last.
Very easy embarkation, took longer to walk to the ship from check in than to go through the check in process.
Ship is still as good as last time but couldn’t see many differences from last time despite it being in dry dock and upgraded from last time, only differences I could see were 2 new plasma screens and new fridge cabinets ...
