This was our second sailing on this itinerary, having previously sailed 1/2014, our 6th Celebrity cruise, and 9th overall.
This is without a doubt our favorite itinerary for our age group (65/58) as the length of the cruise limits the number of children on board, and allows enough time to get in depth with activities and crew members. Beginning a cruise with a couple of sea days before visiting ports allows time to unwind from the stress of the holidays and relax before excursions begin.
The Eclipse is one of our favorite Celebrity Ships (Summit, Silhouette, Equinox, Constellation) and has yet to disappoint. A new Cruise Director this time but still the same captain. All staff we encountered were more than friendly and well versed in all areas, and the "stripes" we encountered were more than willing to assist when asked.
cabin appeared to have been recently refurbished, or at least very well maintained. No issues noted at all, good views from the port side balcony mid ship. close to elevators but not too close to be a noise issue. Climate control systems worked well as can be expected. (would have liked it a little colder, but good enough)
