The purpose of our trip was to check out progress on our condo that is being built in Cabo San Lucas. Cost of cruise was about the same as round trip airline tickets first class to Cabo. We booked a balcony in concierge class no drink package. One month before the cruise we upgraded with the move up program to aqua class and added the premium drink package since Celebrity offered a great ...
This was our very first sailing on Celebrity. We've sailed mostly on NCL, few Carnivals and one MSC cruise. The overall vibe was very different than what I'm used to but we still had fun. It was a relaxing cruise. The service was excellent! Entertainment was hit or miss. We are in our mid 40's and we felt relatively young on this cruise. Later at night the ship was pretty quiet. We walked into the ...
We went with 2 other couples that had lots of status on Celebrity. I did take a Celebrity cruise out of Puerto Rico 20 years ago and it was the best lines ever!! I've been across the Atlantic twice and on numerous other cruise lines. The whole trip was mediocre. Dining was confusing. We were waiting for the table to be cleaned in the dining room and the maitre,d gave our table to some other ...
This was by far the worst of the three Celebrity cruises I’ve taken. I’ve been on the Solstice and Beyond prior to this and while I know Beyond is in a class of its own, the Eclipse is a Solstice Class ship and definitely no where nearly as good.
Service is lacking from the crew, the ship is in need of repair in many places and the rooms are outdated. The windows weren’t cleaned for any of the ...
About us: I'm in my early 60s and my buddy is in his early 50s. I've cruised over 20 times, mostly on Celebrity & MSC. He hasn't cruised a lot, but recently did a Ritz Carlton Yachts cruise in Europe.
Overview: This was a 6 day cruise out of Los Angeles. It sailed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, overnight, and then spent a day in San Diego, which is where I live.
Thread: I did a live thread ...
Celebrity is supposed to be a high end cruise product. This cruise didn’t come close. The ship Itself is in dire need of a refurbishment. Peeling paint, worn furniture, carpet stained. Overall appearance is a 4 outta 10.
Food, this is why we cruise. The buffet had a very poor selection. Everyday was some type of stewed dish, and a lot of them. All the dishes were over cooked and dry, in some ...
I had never sailed on Celebrity. 4 previous on Norwegian. That was my comparison and Eclipse was a bit of a disappointment with a 5.5 rating on Vacations to Go.
Pros: the crew tried very hard and were friendly and courteous always. Not sure how happy or cohesive they were.
Felt fairly new. Stateroom was well maintained and clean. Ship interior is quite beautiful with glass elevators ...
We wanted a cruise that was a round trip from a US city. We had been on Celebrity before so we booked the Pacific coast Cruise. We really enjoyed this ship. The balcony rooms are very nice and spacious. The food in the main dining room was good, portions are smaller than before, but you can always order a double portion if you want more. With all the courses, we always felt it was plenty of ...
Seasoned cruisers here. Had not ever sailed from west coast and wanted to do something different so we booked this cruise that covered 4 ports we'd never visited (along with one we had). More port-intensive than we usually like, but since we don't know when we'll do the west coast again, decided to get to as many new ports as possible in this one cruise. Did a price re-check just before final ...
For our 25th wedding anniversary, my husband and I cruised the California Coast on Celebrity Solstice. We viewed this as a trial cruise, our first back since the pandemic.
It was our third time on Solstice after cruising the Caribbean in 2011 and Alaska in 2017. The ship is worn and would have gone to drydock already if not for the pandemic. But she is still lovely with high marks for design. ...
