Review summary
Overall it was a very good cruise, the Blu Dining staff were exellent , two people that stood out were Victoria assistant MD, and Vish the wine waiter.
The Tuscan Grill had excellent food but the staff didnt seem to work together too well ,it might have been due to a large crew turn around, and new people on their team.
We found that in some areas the staff were a bit sluggish and slow to tidy up areas, i understand the volume of people they have to deal with on a daily basis, and some of the Cruise Cretins (professional Cruisers) are difficult to deal with.
We sailed on the Eclipse last year and found the furniture is starting to look Tatty.
Pre Sail experience was at the Hilton Marina Ft Lauderdale, my family was booked in there by Celebrity as part of their cruise package ,we booked in th be with them , I would suggest you review this Hotel, the only thing that it has is location, Please see reviews on trip advisor.

Ship tip
It pays to get a balcony as there is no room on the upper deck on sea days. The smoking area on the pool deck should be relocated to the Funnel deck ( Joke) but is should be relocated.
