"On this tour we visited McGregor Point overlook, the historic Makawao Town (lunch included), Ho’okipa Beach Park (wind surfing and sea turtles), took a nature walk at Hoolawn Valley, and visited a Maui Tropical Plantation.On sea days, to escape the chaos in the Oceanview Cafe, we had lunch several times in the Main Dinning Room and found the food and menu selections very good...."Read More

1-10 of 11 Honolulu Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Reviews
This was our 5th cruise with Celebrity and second one on Eclipse. We are in our eighties and have cruised 18 times. This was a cruise Honolulu to Vanvouver:
All the information is likely on the Celebrity web site but navigating it is not done intuitively. For example it took me a while to find the date to complete the check-in and when to expect eDocs. There is no real way to avoid doing ...
PRE-CRUISE: Our trip began on May 8th with a 6:00 a.m. American flight from Tallahassee to Honolulu with a stop in Dallas. Flying time was 10.5 hours and we arrived in Honolulu at 3:45 p.m. On the 8-hour flighty from Dallas to Honolulu, they only served a light snack, so I recommend that you take some food with you on the flight. We arrived in Honolulu the day before the cruise and stayed at ...
This 12-day cruise around Hawaii and Pacific crossing to Vancouver BC was our first vacation since Covid. We found the Celebrity Eclipse to be as advertised with a large handicapped cabin with the biggest balcony we've ever had.
Kudos to the entire crew. We also met the friendliest group of passengers ever, which included Canadians, Australians and Americans.
We were rather anxious as this ...
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 ...
I’d been on this ship in Nov ‘19 and loved every moment so when the opportunity to do another cruise on it this year was offered back then, I paid my deposit. The ship is supposed to be safe, full vaccinated passengers and crew. Passengers are expected to test negative before boarding. Their staff was apparently tested back in Vancouver 11 days earlier. The ship had Covid cases on board ...
We boarded Celebrity Eclipse in Honolulu for a tour of the Hawaiian Islands.
We paid full price for a Balcony room and were a little disappointed to find all the passengers who booked inside cabins were given free upgrades to balcony rooms because the ship was only at 50% capacity. I also have a severe gluten allergy and I was disappointed at the lack of choice of gluten free options. The ...
We chose this cruise for a fall getaway to some warm weather. We didn’t do much tourist stuff as we’ve been to Hawaii and the islands several times. We enjoyed a couple of days in Honolulu at the Iilikai before departure on the cruise.
SHIP:
Is in pretty good condition overall. Yes some areas and items are becoming worn but not so obviously so it felt decrepit in any way. There are ...
Having cruised a numerous times with Princess, NCL, P&O, Royal Caribbean and Riviera Cruises (down the Nile), this experience was average at best with some areas of excellence and some very poor.
Firstly I appreciate that Celebrity is a Greek Cruise Line (the 'X' standing for the first letter of the Greek owners family name Chandris) and merged into the Royal Caribbean brand by the same ...
Review of Celebrity Eclipse
We tried out the Eclipse on its ten day journey from Hawaii to Vancouver. We usually cruise on Princess so it was inevitable that we tended to compare the two.
The Eclipse is a very elegant ship but we found that some of the venues were a bit sterile feeling, in particular the main dining room and the Quasar lounge. The main dining room is far too crowded, too ...
