My husband and I have cruised many times in the past with Celebrity and it was always a thoroughly enjoyable experience characterized by very good food, excellent friendly staff, great entertainment and very well maintained and cared for ships.
So it was after a gap of about five years, where we had sailed on other lines for a change of experience[ and sadly found some with declining standards e.g The Quality of the buffet ingredients & choice, the friendliness of some staff ] that we returned to Celebrity this September, for their Azores, Canary Islands & Lisbon Cruise.
The key question for us was would the Celebrity Eclipse cruise replicate, or better, the excellent experience we held fondly, in our memory, of sailing with them previously.
