We elected to purchase this cruise because of the price, and the itinerary (many ports we had not been to before.) We have been on six prior Celebrity cruises and even on this ship. Our overall experience was disappointing. First and foremost, the food in the main dinning room was sub par. The steaks were as thin as a pancake and no matter how discribed on the menu they were the same steak. ...
Cruised Celebrity Eclipse in a Royal Suite Dec 1 – 6 Long Beach / San Pedro to Cabo San Lucas, San Diego and back to Long Beach / San Pedro. This was our 54th cruise on various cruise lines RCCL (34), Princess (10), Celebrity (7), Holland (2), Norwegian (2), and Carnival (1). Our first was 1994 so we’ve seen all the changes and cutbacks, and this review is not about that. We booked this cruise to ...
We've sailed the eastern Caribbean many times and wished to experience the Mexican Riviera . Glad we did - these ports are gems. Overall we enjoyed the cruise. Booked and S1 - Sky Suite, deck 12 port aft side. Deck 12 balcony rooms have a "cover" deck from above, so they can remain shaded for periods of the day. If you don't want direct sun - you pick deck 12. Cabin was comfortable, but ...
Booked our cruise for November, to sneak in some couple time before the holidays - its just me and my husband in our late 20s. We chose this cruise as an upgrade from our last Royal Carribean cruise (our first cruise ever!). We even opted for a balcony room vs the interior one we had last time.
I want to share some of the highs and lows of our trip, and a reason we're likely not going to take ...
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Service is lacking from the crew, the ship is in need of repair in many places and the rooms are outdated.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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
First time on Celebrity.
The Pacific coast itinerary(RT Los Angeles) was the reason we booked this cruise. Living not far from the Los Angles port allowed us to drive to the port with no need to fly.
The crew members were very nice and accommodating. Captain announcements on the PA system were timely although at times were difficult to understand(heavy accent).
The food at the main ...
Booked this California Coastal to proceed our Mexican Riviera cruise. Package included classic drink, internet, and paid gratuity.
What happened to luxury included? Embarkation had porta potties and double bussing to get to ship.
Lobster dinner is limited to one lobster or pay $16 for additional. Breakfast in your stateroom is $11 if you want any egg , bacon or cheese platter. ...
Let me start by saying…we desperately needed a vacation…and cruising is our favorite type of vacation.
In the end, the vacation was a success!
We got the rest and relaxation we needed after 4 years of not going anywhere. We were sad to leave at the end – and this is the whole point of a successful vacation.
I would like to give a review of the various experiences on this ship.
I ...
