My husband and I had our first cruise on Celebrity Eclipse in August. I was very nervous about cruising being a good fit for us and was only persuaded into cruising because of the great itinerary. We visited places which I had never visited and several of which were on my all-time wish list. A good friend had cruised with Celebrity and on her recommendation we booked a concierge class room on Celebrity Eclipse.
I had read Cruise Critic almost every night since we booked in January and the negativity on the message boards served to increase rather than reduce my fears. Before the cruise, I was confident we would enjoy the ports but concerned as to whether we would enjoy the cruise experience.
Embarkation- We could not believe what a great experience this was. We arrived at the port at about 11.30am and within half an hour were on board, seated in the buffet enjoying lunch. So different and, so much better than the airport experience.
Very Quiet cabin. Very conveniently located. Very close to the main lifts and stairs .
