Celebrity Eclipse Review

Additional details
I finally gave in to my husbands years of pleading with me to go on a cruise and I can honestly say, it was one of the best holidays I have ever had (and I have had some real good holidays)
We sailed from Southampton and ports of call were Gibraltar, Villefranche, Citavecchia, Florence/Pisa, Genoa, Malaga & Lisbon.
We booked the previous night with the Holiday Inn and used their Cruise Parking offer. Sadly I didn't know there are numerous Holiday Inns in the area and we ended up in one around 10 min drive from the port. We were given directions to Cruise Parking area which again was approx. 10 min drive from the port but the process was seamless. The driver took our luggage onto the minibus, while we took a seat, they took out car away to park and we were driven to the port. The driver put our luggage onto the carts provided and we checked in. There were numerous check in desks and no queues. We were welcomed onboard with a glass of bubbly and advised to familiarise ourselves with the boat as the cabins were still being prepared.
Cabin Review
Inside Stateroom 11
We had an inside stateroom which was fairly spacious. It had a massive very comfortable bed, a sofa, a kettle, fridge and good size en-suite toilet/shower. We were provided with complimentary toiletries which were good. The bedding was cotton and the towels were lovely and fluffy. We also had bathrobes which was a nice touch. The only complaint we had with the room was the lack of pillows but we used the cushions from the couch so not the end of the world.
