Total chaos

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Celebrity Eclipse

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

Have previously been on the same mini cruise on Eclipse two years ago and recommended it for a friends birthday after having a great time. What a mistake. It was like a completely different cruise and would not recommend it at all. From start to finish it was chaos, overcrowded with large groups of Hen and stag parties, half and hour wait to get drinks even tho we had a drinks package, which ...

Now don't get me wrong, we don't moan, and we aren't like some of the others you've read on reviews who seem to just want to whinge.... all we wanted was just a relaxing birthday 2 night weekender on our (previously) favourite ship which sadly turned into a bit of a disappointing farse. A relaxing drink after the long wait queuing for embarcation despite the promised Elite fast track ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was our first cruise. We had been promising ourselves that one day we would do a Baltic cruise and when the opportunity to do it with my sister and brother-in-law we jumped at it. They had already booked so we just booked the same - in fact we had cabins next door to each other. As first timers we didn't really know much about the different cruise lines and, to be honest, I had never heard ...

Our friends are avid travellers with Celebrity Cruises and have made this same trip last year. They recommended it to my husband and I and we booked up as a group of 10. We booked in March and everything was supposed to be included when we made our final payment. Alas this was changed on our boarding date and we had a choice to upgrade. Which we were not told about. As we left our cabin, ...

Chose cruise for 3 days in St Petersburg but enjoyed other ports also. Did not use ship tours but booked with private company with group found on Cruise Critic. From what we heard from other passengers it was a smart move. Used SPB tours and they were great. Russia was hard to see in 3 long days but I think we accomplished most of it. The only tough part of the entire cruise was getting ...

We have sailed three times previously with Celebrity in Concierge Class, twice on The Reflection and once on The Eclipse and each time have been very impressed with every aspect of the cruise and it's wow factor. So much so that when we saw this two day Taste of Modern Luxury cruise from Southampton we booked for us, our daughter, her partner and two grandchildren to show them what cruising ...

Nice ship but very overcrowded when full. No beds at the pool, no seats in the bars, long wait for a table at dinner. Having to stand at the bar trying to catch the bar mans attention to get served. They ran out of some cocktails and steak at dinner. Too many passengers for the seating available in the bars on the evening. We gave up and went to bed! It was like a Booz cruise and not a luxury ...

This was how it was presented to us and to some 2750 others: the only chance this year of a short trip on the Celebrity Eclipse, sailing from Southampton to Le Havre. And Back. To see what the line was like and what the ship was like. Embarkation was chaotic. Hundreds of passengers, most trundling their luggage, slowly creeping their way round and up and down the lines to the check- in desks. ...

we chose this short cruise for the entertainment it being a 60s cruise which was excellent. afraid it stops there, the food in the buffet was very good but the seating arrangement was not good to say the least the tables were much too close together it resembled a school canteen. the evening food was over cooked and quite boring,we requested a table for 6 or 8 and got a table for 2 squashed ...

My partner and I decided to take a mini cruise to Le Havre on the Celebrity Eclipse on May 8th for 2 nights, just to see what Celebrity cruise ships are like. We are seasoned cruisers and have now tried most of the other large cruise companies, so we feel that we are able to comment with conviction. Embarkation was scheduled between 11.00 am and 3.00 pm and we boarded fairly swiftly, so it ...
