Celebrity Eclipse Reviews

The crew onboard could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Our waiters in the dining room, Jorge and Emilio; our room attendant, Ahmad; Alejandro, our cruise director, and even the ladies bathroom attendant, Bernita, on the 4th floor near the Theater were exceptional Celebrity employees. They should be commended for going above and beyond what is expected of them. Yay Team!!

Very glad we did this cruise and would recommend it. Be prepared to be on the go a lot if you do the tours and if not then this is not the warmest area to go to at this time. Lots of walking to see what needs to be seen. This ship absolutely had the best entertainment that we have ever experienced. Enjoy

Pace yourself. While a 12 day excursion, visiting 10 ports looks great, you can quickly become tired. We paid for only 3 excursions. They were all very good but I also enjoyed my time with my significant other to explore the the ports on our own. Unless you are addicted to the Internet, avoid the high ship charges and check in the various ports or buy a coffee somewhere in the port for free access. If you like to walk and explore ports on your own, you can still have a wonderful experience.

Very nice ship; staff was excellent. Lots of places to hang out when at sea. Our interior room was a good size and attended well.

A major disappointment was not receiving Free Style Dining as requested. Moreover, we were relegated to the Second Seating (8:30 PM) in the Main Dining Room.

We had a great time! We look forward to our next cruise vacation.

I love sailing on Celebrity. The food attention and service is excellent. The shows were beautiful and very profesional, First class,

We enjoyed the ship and all of the ports. We did independent (local) tours at Rostock (to Berlin) and St. Petersburg and both were outstanding. Our cabin steward did a great job and it seemed everyone on the ship was friendly and helpful. We made some great memories and would definitely recommend this cruise to others.

We have cruised on Celebrity for more than 10 years. The crew is second to none. This time it seemed way more crowded, with a rushed itinerary, and the cruise director was to over the top. His daily announcements were almost 15 minutes long, the on board entertainment was OK most nights, the best was the live music in the smaller lounges. The main dinning room is FANTASTIC. The cabins and verandas are very nice. Celebrity does have the embarkation and disembarkation down to a science, works very well. While Celebrity’s cruise prices seem to continue to increase, in addition to these increases, In my opinion Celebrity is trying to identify ways to add fees and charges of all types. In port shuttle buses, that used to be included, now there is a charge. Up-charges on drink packages like at the martini bar, 3 bucks more for a larger martini, really why not just get two smaller ones. And everyone of these up-charge slips provide a line for an additional tip. And specialty restaurant are only a fare deal on the first day of the cruise when they are discounted by 30%. In port excursions, in the daily flyer, Celebrity creates the impression the only Hop on Hop off bus is available only at guest relations, all one need do is get off the ship and you can find the same hop on hop off bus at a lower price than Celebrity. So after 10 years of loyalty, i think for our next cruise vacation, we may need to shop around.

If you are just starting to cruise and are middle age and above, you would find Celebrity a superior cruiseline. However, if you had been cruising before up to the end of the last decade, you will notice the deterioration in the quality of the onboard experience, especially in the food and in the entertainment, and even in the resource speakers.

This was a super cruise with interesting and appealing ports of call - would recommend it wholeheartedly! We really enjoyed working with Raymond Wright from who helped us with the booking as well as several questions along the way. We booked early enough (October 2017 for a July 2018 sailing) that we could watch the excursion offers from and pick up some good sale prices. Ray was more helpful with information about the cruise than the Celebrity website (which does not work well on tablets, and admittedly so by Celebrity staff). He also had good suggestions for hotel bookings in Amsterdam though we ended up finding a great hotel there on our own.

We had a really great cruise and would consider Celebrity again.

Cruise was good. We had problems in Amsterdam with hotel. We went to wrong one. We weren't told we had to take train to hotel. Also bus from ship to airport wasn't set up ahead of time. Everything else was fine. We had oceanview window which my husband liked. Had more room and overlooked helipad. It was a nice variety of cities we visited.

Celebrity will not allow you to see the British open to it’s completion. Busses to Open are $500 or $350 more than taking the first class train. Busses were filthy and air conditioning did not work making it 90f or hotter for 90 minute ride. Busses depart 615 pm, an hour before the leaders finished. Cruise staff says that it was still a tour and offered nothing but “too bad” excuses. Cruise staff Perry promised we could stay to see the end of play on Sunday, but bus operator required to leave an hour before end of play.

Loved this itinerary cruising the British Isles. Calm seas the entire time and interesting ports.

you really cannot bring that many clothes/suitecases due to weight limits etc by the airlines so laundry service is really important and necessary and I did'nt appreciate being so over-charged for this especially when their is no way to do it yourself. also internet should be free. the food was excellant and much appreciated. every meal really impressive. The crew gave top noptch serve and was really friendly.

very good cruise. First time in europe on cruise. Excursions were handled very well. Felt comfortable with celebrity making these arrangements. Some trips that were recommended by ship were not what we expected but overall good.

The Celebrity Eclipse is a great way to visit the Baltic and St. Petersburg. We were taken care of from the moment we landed in Amsterdam to the moment we left. This was a wonderful way to check off our bucket list🤗

The only problem I had was the excursions that said they where mild and moderate in st sperersburg whqhere strenuous. 8 to 10 miles of walking when we where told about 1.25 miles of walking. I found descriptions on every excursion we where on was not accurate. But Russia was the tough day

Celebrity delivers excellent service, and cleanliness and we always enjoy the ships. Eclipse is a bit older but has the amenities we enjoy. A clearer idea of what is covered by each bar package would be helpful.
