So, as an individual who enjoys vacationing, I was thoroughly pleased by this 11-night Southern Caribbean cruise on the Eclipse. First, the cruise director, Sue Denning was simply outstanding. Sue is the best cruise director I have ever encountered. Sue is funny, talented (surprised us several times with her vocal renditions), classy, a dresser (those heels), attentive, and guarantees everyone feels great and has a terrific time - the activities and entertainment were engaging, well done, and well received (especially December 63). Sue is a class act!
Next, the food and service (Tanasis, Artem, and Franco) were superior. Portions were plentiful, the taste was delightful, and the choices were terrific.
Finally, the bar service was magnificent. Favorite bar - the Pool Bar. Favorite and very best bartender - MADE. MADE was so, so good. Every day was a surprise that not only pleased us but excited fellow passengers daily. MADE's drink choices were innovative, delicious, and beautifully presented. MADE should be promoted to head bartender. MADE, Gede, Dinesh were gracious, pleasant, humorous, and provided the best customer service on the ship.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. The steward was good, the layout was well done, and the veranda was a great option. We especially liked the larger, more spacious bathroom design. We did miss, however, the towel animals, but the daily snacks and wine were a welcome addition.
