We’ve cruised on this ship before from HK to Singapore a few years ago and had an excellent holiday.
We can’t believe how poor the bar service was on this trip. Same in the dining room lack of bodies. I was left a feedback form from the Hotel Director Vlado, in fact completed two but no response so herein lies the problem. One day I counted 9 people awaiting service by the pool bar with one ...
+Ship is beautiful
+Food is generally good in buffet and MDR
+Fairly good availability of sun chairs
+Quick embarkation and disembarkation
+Great ports of call
-Drink prices extremely high. USD 11 for a 33cl beer and USD 18 or 20 for a drink. And those drinks where horrible. Tasted a bit of bitter water without even a fruit or any kind of decoration to make it attractive in any way ...
The main draw for booking this cruise was the itinerary which cruised one way from Honolulu to Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia over our 20th anniversary. Having sailed twice on Celebrity since cruising restarted it is the cruise line my husband and I are most familiar with at this time. Everything went as planned with no problems or disruptions and the weather was fantastic. Overall it was an ...
There were many things to recommend about the trip/ ship, but a few things you should know.
First, the good. The entertainment was pretty great. My cabin was just fine. The specialty restaurants had great food. The buffet was pretty good. The acupuncturist seemed excellent. A couple of the parties were very fun and memorable - like the one for crossing the equator - blackness all ...
We are seasoned cruisers, and this was our sixth Celebrity Cruise. We were looking forward to the same Celebrity experience we've had previously on other ships, however we were disappointed overall with the offering on the Eclipse.
Let's start with the positives, and what went well:
1. The solarium pool was a very enjoyable space that we used a lot. We never struggled to find an empty deck ...
Myself and my wife selected this cruise which would offer the opportunity to visit countries not seen before (with the exception of New Zealand). Overall, there were highs and lows (quite a lot, actually). As follows:
Highs: Entertainment - actually pretty good. Bearing in mind that not all the performances (around 45 minutes) would suit every taste, we found most to our liking. Very stylish, ...
Unfortunately perhaps our expectations were too high, this ship is tired.
The embarkations and disembarkations were chaotic to say the least, including assembling for excursions. This itinerary had many sea days and not enough variety of public spaces. The coffee shop was extremely popular probably because it was one of the few places to visit. The observation lounge was completely under ...
In September and October 2022, we sailed on the Eclipse from Vancouver to Hawaii, and Hawaii to Sydney (back-to-back cruises), being our 5th and 6th cruises on Celebrity Solstice and Eclipse. Overall, it was a good cruise and our room steward, the bar staff and the dining staff were all great. The food was lovely too. We still love the ships but feel there were numerous shortcomings. During ...
We recently traveled from Honolulu to Sydney, Australia on the Solstice. We were in Aqua Class and as usual the food and service in Blu was excellent. We were very pleased with the stateroom attendant who was personable and exceeded our every request. We thought our meals in Murano, the Oceanview Cafe and the AquaSpa Cafe were very good. We enjoyed our ports of call and the shore excursions which ...
I was disappointed that the entertainment in the Atrium was so loud. It was impossible to have a coffee and conversation.
That the ship only used US dollars. All the goods in the shops had a huge markup, i.e. $45.00 items marked down to $10.00.
The Medical Center, what can I say. My wife had a slip on Mystery Island, and hit her head on a rock. I took her to the Medical Center only to be ...
