Celebrity Eclipse -- Transatlantic Cruise -- October 30-November 12, 2012

This was our 9th cruise, 4th with Celebrity, and first Transatlantic.

We booked this vacation while on a previous cruise to take advantage of the lower deposit of $100 per person. In addition, we received a $200 ship board credit. Unfortunately, as shareholders we could not double up on any additional credits. At the time we booked this trip Celebrity still offered "packaged air" which meant they assigned our flight carrier and departure times to London and our return from Miami. I was nervous that Celebrity would put us on a less than desirable flight, but we were really pleased when we were booked on non-stop flights both ways. Since we had to sleep on the flight, we upgraded to economy comfort class for more leg room. Wearing compression socks and noise cancelling headphones made the flight more tolerable. Read more
