Review summary

Celebrity Eclipse is a fabulous ship. Yes, it is "older" but so well kept and the cabins are wonderful. You could not ask for better service, food or overall enjoyment of a vacation on the sea.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We were a little confused at first but they announced each group. Then very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Fantastic food and service. So glad to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the MDR. Main dining room and Tuscan Grille were fabulous. Buffet was a buffet. Not really a buffet fan.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Solarium (adult only) was our favorite place to relax, hot tub, swim, read on padded lounge chars inside but still with views. Trivia and views in Sky Lounge were great! Comfy seats. Deck 4 and 5 were hopping and had lots of seating to enjoy a martini or glass of wine.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We liked the comedy (2 nights). The stage shows were not our taste--all musicals and dancing. They were okay.

Children's Programs

No children travelling with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Amazing from beginning to end. Room steward was delightful and kept the room pristine. We had morning service and evening turndown as well (which a lot of ships we have been on have stopped doing)Our waitstaff were fantastic. They remembered us and we were seated in the same area every night (even with select dining).

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the ship layout. Plenty of elevators even with only 2 banks. Loved the aft panoramic ones! Enjoyed all the lounges--all had comfy chairs to relax and hang out.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I am spoiled forever by having had this cabin. It is a normal balcony cabin, but with an aft view. Amazing! The bathroom was the best we have ever had on a ship. We loved the space. Closet is placed a little oddly, but it worked.

Ship tip

Enjoy the meals in the MDR. Eat at Tuscan Grille at sunset. Casino is non-smoking so you may want to give it a little try.

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California Did not visit port

Just took cab to port and boarded

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Sailing in Cabo is amazing. We took a luxury day sail excursion. Fantastic. We got to swim, snorkel, SUP, sail (for real) and see 6 whales. Could not have been better.

San Diego, California

5 out of 5
Love the naval presence. Visit Midway! We did hop on hop off and Little Italy and Sate park are great.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy! Had a nice breakfast in the dining room and stayed until our group was called.
