We just returned from a 7 day cruise to Eastern Caribbean on the Celebrity Eclipse. From the moment we embarked upon the ship, the staff made us feel like Royalty. Embarkation went very smooth but we did have priority check in because we were on the Concierge level. Disembarking was long and tedious. We were all held up by US customs and had to wait for over 30 minutes after we were called to disembark by Celebrity staff before we could actually leave the ship and go through customs.

Our balcony cabin on the concierge level was smaller than we had on the Holland America, however, we had ample space for the two of us. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The bathroom had plenty of room. The shower was large enough to shower without hitting your elbows on the walls. There was even a bar in the shower designed for ease when shaving your legs. Storage in the room was ample. Large Luggage can be placed under the bed because the beds are high enough to store them underneath. Plenty of hangers in the closet and besides several drawers, there is overhead storage above the bed. The balcony is a bit small but enough room for two people to sit in 2 recliners with a table between them.

Food was very good. I could sit and critique how I would like to see some things done differently with regard to more dining options on the ship that do not cost extra, but that seems to be the newest ways cruise ships are doing things these days to help make additional monies. If they had more free dining area options as opposed to several dining rooms that cost extra to eat, there would be less crowds in the free dining areas or need for being rushed through the dining hours to accommodate diners on the later seating.

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 2

Cabin C2

We were on the Concierge Level. Cabins and balconies are small, but comfortable. We did not have any difficulty navigating around the room or bumping into furniture despite the small square footage. I like Celebrity because people are not permitted to smoke on balconies so you can actually enjoy the balcony without having to smell smoke from nearby neighbors. There is a stiff fine for anyone who violates the no smoking policy.

There is adequate storage in the room. Plenty of hangers were in our closets. The room has a nice size couch with a small table. There is a safe for valuables. A small desk area with a mirror and chair. Hair dryer was provided. However, if you need your clothes iron, you will have to pay over $3.00 per item just for the pressing. No travel irons are allowed on board.
