We booked this 3 night innaugral cruise on Celebrity Eclipse as it was at such a bargain price for an inside guanrantee, £190 per person, cant be bad, it was a Monday to Thursday sailing and we managed to talk the in-laws into looking after the kids so this was a perfect short break away for us as a couple.
We had already decided we werent going to get off in France as we just wanted a few days of doing very little, which is what we got, fortunatelt the weather for teh short break was fantastic, which was great and we were very fortunate, it made a huge difference!
On arrival at Southampton you are treated to the usual Royal Caribbean/Celebrity greeting and swift check in process, arrived in the car 20 minutes later you are on and all checked in! straight up to get some lunch, so off to the buffet, good selection of food, juices, tea, coffee etc, really enjoyed the lunch, then spent an hour or two having a wonder around the ship before going back to our room, our guarantee room was an inside and we were allocated an inside accesible room, which was huge as it had to be that size for wheelchairs etc, it was a great size and the showeroom was huge and well appointed, but no shower gel in the cubice, slightly disappointed with that, the incabin TV and interactive bit was excellent, you could do everything you needed on it plus have a choice of music, on-demand films etc etc, a great addition to the room, the room served its purpose and done what was required of it.
Cabin 9616, accesible cabin, great location, next to lifts as you would expect in an accesible cabin, spacious, everything you needed, and very peaceful as well.
