My wife and I recently spent an amazing week aboard Eclipse. My wife was 18 weeks pregnant at the beginning of the cruise. I want to share our experience with other cruisers and those who may be cruising while expecting.
Embarkation:
Smoothly and quickly handled, a short wait after check in, as the ship had not quite cleared customs. A glass of champagne awaited us at the gangway after the obligatory boarding photo. Once aboard, we proceeded to the Oceanview Cafe for a bite to eat. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel welcome. Not once did we get anything less than a smile and a greeting from whoever we passed. As the cruise progressed we were also asked if we were enjoying our holiday. Several times we were also told that our input was very important to the crew.
Very nicely appointed stateroom. Balcony view is sweet! Concierge class is nice bonus, with some added perks like a choice of pillows (body pillow available for expecting mothers!), nicer robes, bottle of sparkling wine. Cabin stewards were fantastic!
