Celebrity Eclipse – Brand New For 2010

Celebrity Eclipse – Brand New For 2010
Celebrity Eclipse is the newest ship from the much heralded fleet of 5* cruise line Celebrity Cruises. After the success of the first in its class the Solstice, the Celebrity Eclipse is the 3rd in this new class of ship. When the Solstice was launched in November it won rave reviews from both the trade and the consumer alike.

So why cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse

The Celebrity Eclipse is like no ship you have seen out of the UK waters. During in its maiden season she is going to be home ported in Southampton and offers a series of mix night cruises to the Med, Baltic and Fjords regions. In our opinion the destinations are not why you should cruise. The main reason is the ship. She just blows the socks off everything else which competes against her. This celebrity cruises ship is the most thought out ship ever. It is classy meet New York style boutique hotel. The ship has a flow and positive vibe all through the ship and the attention to detail is mind blowing. Take the cabin for example, the basic balcony is larger than any other in its class. The bath room is 25% larger and has lovely little touches. The mirror is full length, the hair dryer does what it is designed to do and dry hair. There are Swimming Pool Eclipsecotton buds, ear buds and even a bar for the ladies to rest their legs when they shave them in the shower. The rooms have state of the art entertainment systems in where the TV doubles up as an Ipod.

Dining on the Celebrity Eclipse

There are many speciality restaurants on the Celebrity Eclipse. The clever thing about this is, they are all situated in the same place. Outside the restaurants there is a lovely bar for pre cocktail drinks. Your choices include Blu, which is a healthy eating option. Passenegers in the Aqua Class cabins get first option but when space is available anyone can reserve a table for a small cover charge of $10 per person. There are other restaurants the most noticeable is Silk Harvest where it serves Asian/oriental and Muranos

 

 

Luxury cruise prices drop due to economic slump

02 Sep 2009

It’s being reported that many luxury cruise lines are reducing their prices to try and attract holidaymakers as the recession hits hard. The current economic climate is putting many people off taking this sort of a holiday, but in actual fact it may be a better time to go on a cruise than previously.

While many people are spurning Caribbean cruises or Mediterranean cruises this year as a result of a conscious effort to spend less money, those who are still interested in luxury cruises are finding they can upgrade to grander accommodation for the same price they would usually pay for something quite functional.

By the same token, people who have never previously considered a cruise ship for their holidays are finding they are far more affordable, meaning they now have the chance to tour the Caribbean or wherever, just as they’d always wished.
