We were really impressed with Celebrity Eclipse for our first cruise.
As mentioned, embarkation didnt go very well, but this was due to a technical glitch and they handled this well.
The ship is beautiful, immaculately clean and well maintained. People have said in other reviews that furniture looks tired, but this isn't something we noticed or were concerned by.
We had an inside cabin ...
We chose this cruise to experience sailing on a larger ship and to visit St Petersberg. The ship - Celebrity Eclipse was absolutely wonderful and we hope to sail on her again soon. Embarkation was not a good experience - we waited a long time to get on the ship as there were some technical difficulties with the boarding platform plus the allocation of the boarding passes seemed to be very ...
we wanted to visit the Baltic and having cruised with P&O previously on three occasions we tried to book a cruise with them but the dates we wanted were not available. We contacted Celebrity and got the very cruise we wanted on the Eclipse and on the correct dates. it should be noted that the total price was less than P&O and we also had a drinks package thrown in which would have escalated our ...
We regard ourselves as seasoned cruisers but somehow we had never cruised with Celebrity Cruises before and when we were offered an attractive deal on Celebrity Eclipse cruising to the Baltics we jumped at the opportunity. The package offered was 1st passenger full price, 2nd passenger half price, with a classic drinks package and gratuities included. This turned out to be incredibly good value ...
After being given a check in time which we met we had to wait almost two hours in the terminal before our number was called, no apology or explanation was given. The cabin was adequate and clean though uninspiring, our luggage was at the door on arrival, the coffee supplied in the cabin was tasteless though elsewhere was good. The ship as a whole was quite impressive and appeared to be nice and ...
We really enjoyed our Baltic Cruise on Celebrity Eclipse. Great food, good entertainment, excellent service.
Main Dining
- Breakfast in the main dining area was not open long enough, particularly on sea days (finishing at 9:30am - no lie in - we're supposed to be on holiday!)
- Lunch was really nice and relaxing
- Evening Meals - Great service, good food, good choice.

We chose this cruise because it was recommended by a friend who did the same Baltic cruise last year. The Eclipse is a beautiful looking ship. The stateroom was good, and included a balcony. It was kept spotlessly clean. The toilet paper was horrible.
The navigation lecture was excellent as was the glass blowing. The entertainment was excellent until the last night. The Beatles Tribute ...
Embarkation was slow because of technical problems in security - about 2 hours, but the check in clerk was extremely courteous
Chose this cruise because of the itinerary included Tallin, St Petersburg Helsinki Stockholm & Copenhagen. Shore excursions were generally well organised with good guides. Annoyingly, we walked to an art gallery, a museum and a cathedral in Helsinki to discover that ...
Being a fervent fan of Celebrity Cruises and specially loving Eclipse as a ship, we picked the Iceland cruise as our latest adventure. This was our 3rd trip aboard Eclipse since her second sailing when we benefited from all her splendours being brand new.
Each time we have sailed from Southampton and the process has always been super efficient and smooth.
The Eclipse is a stunning ship, ...
We are committed Celebrity cruisers this being our sixth cruise on Eclipse, we like everything about the ship and feel really comfortable onboard.
Embarkation went smoothly, we normally stay overnight in Southampton and arrive at the Port around 11 o'clock. There was no need to use our Concierge priority boarding as it wasn't busy and my wife has a disability wheelchair so we were ushered ...
