This review is based upon our 3rd cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse , our previous cruises being in 2010 and 2011. As the title of my review suggests, standards have definitely slipped since our last cruise with Celebrity in key areas, giving the impression that the company bottom line is more important than keeping its passengers happy, which will result in many more negative reviews rather than the glowing ones we are used to seeing on this and many other cruise forums. I have deliberately kept this review ship based, as there many reviews on this forum on the Mediterranean ports of call.
Embarkation:
Arrived at Southampton at 10.30am, checked in by 11.00am and sipping a Pimm’s in the Ocean View bar at Midday, probably the fastest check in ever!
