We wanted to sail from Southampton and visit as many places in 10 days as was possible, dining staff were great, we managed to have table 411, for our evening meal every evening and were looked after by Markus, Harold and Alex, amazing service and lovely sense of humour. Our cabin 7228 was clean bright and we were looked after by Hector. The entertainment was mostly good, but the sound was much ...
We embarked very smoothly through the Aqua Class gate, the people at security were quite rude but I guess they were stressed. we got on ship and went to the Cafe, ive noticed each celebrity ship although the same works slightly differently, they were very clear you could not sit at a table and go to the counter and get your own drinks, the counter is only for take away, but I found them throughout ...
We (my 18 year old son and I) went on the celebrity eclipse canaries cruise on 28/9/17 from Southhampton.
Embarking was very well organised and we were soon heading up to the main cafe type self service oceanview cafe for lunch.( I booked with Visioncruise and I knew from watching that John Cooper chap on TV that the law of the sea was to attend the buffet on embarking!) Huge selection of very ...
It was visiting Cities I have not been to before. I wanted to sail from Southampton and not fly. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and find travel difficult these days.
Everything regarding Boarding and Departing was good. People in wheelchairs were looked after but people with illnesses like mine or MS struggled to wait for Shuttle buses. Could have been better. I saw people return to the ...
This was our first cruise and were celebrating a special birthday and wedding anniversary. We chose Celebrity on the strength of the solid reviews, so am aware of the importance of these where literally millions of pounds can be won or lost. Here's my account.
We travelled down the evening before the cruise and stayed in Winchester some eight miles away. This was due to the fear of us missing ...
Having been on quite a few Cunard cruises, we wanted to try a different cruise line and this trip and it's timing fitted in with other plans. We didn't know that the Eclipse sailed the weekend of the boat show and wondered why we couldn't find an overnight hotel room in Southampton when we started looking in March. Eventually found one not too far from the airport and 15mins from the docks.
We ...
Late booking secured excellent deal with adjacent balcony cabins and inclusive drinks package for 4 adults.
A beautiful Ship in excellent condition.
The most visible and charismatic Captain we have ever had on 10 cruises - his charm and hospitality permeated through all the officers and the entire crew.
The fastest embarkation and disembarkation we have ever experienced - superbly ...
Insolent silent response on 2 occasions when advising that food in self- service cafeteria was warm.
A spoof Bond juvenile silly video that was greeted with jeers & consequently was forgettable.
Just these two factors made me feel very insecure.
Was I going to suffer food poising?
What procedures should I follow in the event of an emergency?
Then there was the utterly tasteless ...
Despite the Boat show being on in Southampton, we arrived in the Dockyard within about 20 minutes from the Premier Inn, Fareham. We entered via Dock Gate 10, were directed to the ABParking car park and left our cases with them for boarding. We entered the Departure Lounge at 1114 and were on board at 1120, probably due mostly due to Concierge Priority boarding, I think. We were greeted on board ...
Embarkation was very easy as parked in port. parked and on ship within 20 minutes. Ship was clean and polished to high standard. Cabin good size, with all you needed, bit short on drawer space, nice shower room. Spa, pools and whirlpool great. Dining good in MDR, lots of choice and wait staff happy to assist if you choose two starters or veg off one main to be served with another, excellent in ...
