Trip Bacon — The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of the Celebrity Eclipse following a thirty-one night trans-pacific and New Zealand voyage. They begin by detailing the ship specifications, noting it is a mid-sized Solstice class vessel built in 2010. The review highlights several positive aspects, including the spacious Aqua class Veranda staterooms and the high quality of dining at the Blue specialty restaurant. They also praise the ship's layout, the availability of a dry sauna in the locker rooms, and the talented entertainment team. The creators specifically recommend the Murano restaurant for its elevated French dining experience. While the review is largely positive, the creators mention minor drawbacks, such as the lack of a Lawn Club Grill and uncomfortable seating in Celebrity Central. The most significant criticism involves the staffing at Cellar Masters, where they observed a single server struggling to manage a crowded wine venue alone. Ultimately, the creators conclude that the Celebrity Eclipse is a great ship for all travelers and express a desire to sail on it again.
