How relaxing to have afternoon tea with cake or cookies. We tried almost all hot teas and iced teas and were never disappointed. Highly recommend taking in this relaxing spot.

AquaSpa by Elemis

5 out of 5

Such personal & professional attention was given for my massages. Never felt better! And they didn't push to buy products like some places do. Very well done.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We went to every evenings' show and they just kept getting better and better. What a fantastic group of performers and Cruise Directors! Also the singers/performers around the ship are amazing. We particularly enjoyed watching the Corning Glass Museum blown glass shows! Those folks are incredible!

Celebrity Theater

Cabin / Stateroom

Is always amazes us how much storage is available in these cabins. More than any larger hotel room. My were very comfortable and the staff quickly maintains cleanliness each and every day.

Ship tip

Get ready to put on a few pounds! But so worth it!

Beach escape....lovely time but be careful getting in/out of the water as conditions may create a small cliff at the edge of the water.

Catamaran ride for some snorkeling and swimming with the turtles. The crew was excellent and lunch on the boat was very tasty.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Took a boat ride over to Nevis for an island tour followed by lunch (excellent Grouper) at a beach and a boat ride back to the ship right off the beach. Fun-filled day.

I did Princess once.... but the crowd was a lot older than expected. Celebrity .... this will be my 2nd. We loved the Summit and hope the Eclipse follows suit.
