Eclipse was great. I loved the ship and the cruise as a whole. Qsine was a fabulous experience and we spent nearly four and a half hours there. Thank goodness our reservation was for 6.30pm! Of course Eclipse is very similar to Equinox although I preferred her interior design. It was nice to see the Scottie dog sculpture outside in the Ensemble Lounge. I remember that from when I was on Galaxy and it was like seeing an old friend. I loved the way the tree in the atrium (right way up this time) swayed as the ship rolled.

The public areas in general as with the rest of the ship are beautiful. There are plenty of nice areas to sit outside if you are not using a balcony. Two favourite spots were the Lawn Club where there is some soft seating and the Solstice Deck. Both these area can be very windy though when the ship is under sail and if this is the case the furniture will most likely be tied down, especially the Solstice Deck. If it is warm enough and you like the wind in the hair feel these areas are great.

Overall the meals in the MDR were very good, but just couldn't even hold a candle to our Murano experience. For the small supplement it was a wonderful meal with great service. Tuscan was also great with super service, but I think as it was toward the end of the cruise my appetite was beginning to wane. As is always the case all that good food had me hankering for a cheese sandwich.

Cabin Review

Sky Suite 2

Cabin S2

Noisy overhead from buffet. Carts thundered overhead at all hours of day and night although this was somewhat reduced after a call to Guest Relations who did there best to prevent night time noise. However from around 5.30am as breakfast was being set up it would start again. The cabin itself is beautiful with lots of storage, a comfy sofa and bed and a good size bathroom with rain head shower and tub.
