Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Celebrity Eclipse
A repeat voyage on Eclipse and things seem to have got even better. The theatre entertainment was excellent and the Main Dining Room food has been improved.
The ship is one of the older celebrity vessels but still very nice. The staff are helpful and friendly. There are very few places on the ship that don't have music playing so not many quiet areas. The production shows are ear shatteringly loud. The general entertainment is however good and varied. The food was very salty at dinner and I was told it is that way as the majority of American passengers prefer it, but we sat with 5 American passengers who said it was too highly seasoned even for them. There is a good choice in the ocean cafe (buffet). It was well organised getting on and off the ship most of the time. We enjoyed all the ports of call. We had an obstructed balcony cabin on deck 6. The lifeboat outside our balcony wasn't a big problem as you still get to see the view but can't see down to the deck. The paid for activities on board the ship seemed very expensive to me. The drinks were also very expensive and everything is priced in dollars.
Disapointing first time on Celebrity . Late room service , no spoons so eating cereal with forks. Warm beer bottles due to boken fridges. Cold food reported in MDR and buffet . Not as good as PRINCESS cruises . Dissapointed , thought this would be a class above P and O and Marella . Liked the fact tho not a British Booze Cruise . Premium drinks out of stock in some bars . Poor as we had paid for them
We both enjoyed Eclipse, The food was excellent as always, our Celebrity excursions were the best we have done for a few years! The staff were wonderful always happy and ready to help. My only criticism was not being able to check in for our flights with jet2. On past cruises we have been able to check in and then to pick our seats and order and food. I tried talking to Iglu, celebrity flights and direct to Jet2 however no one could give me a locator code-to check in with jet2. As we are both nearly 80 I really would have liked to check in if only for peace of mind.
