Additional details

Sail Date: May 2010
Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 1A

I had such high hopes for this ship, been so hyped up by the company itself and the amount of press it has been given. Sadly it did not live up to our full expectations. I will say that perhaps the weather may not of helped entirely which may be a reason for a lot of the indoor overcrowding during the days.

I know this was only 'Eclipse's' 4th sailing, but it certainly needs a lot of 'tweaking'

Regards the public rooms, these were all very modern and looked like 'sets' from a glossy interiors magazine, smart in appearance. However, they were all situated in an open area of the ship from the 3rd deck through to the 11th deck which sadly allowed sound to carry. Therefore do not expect peace and quiet in the library during the times of day that any live acts are scheduled to perform on the lower levels (frequently), as the sound carries all the way up and is very loud and distracting. This didn't seem to affect too many people as every time we had a view of the library we could the designer chairs occupied with napping passengers (I thought staterooms were for this purpose!) It seems like Celebrity's policy is to push drink sales on you. Anytime your rear end touches a seat in a bar/lounge/casino, they are instantly asking if you want a drink, so you instantly feel guilty when you say no.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 1A

Good room - spacious - good amount of storage. Decent size balcony with plenty of room. Close to lifts made it very assessable. Room was quiet.
