Editorial Summary

A passenger on the Celebrity Eclipse expressed significant dissatisfaction regarding their recent cruise experience. The individual alleged that the vessel was oversold by approximately 500 people and was overcrowded with unruly children. These factors reportedly negatively impacted the overall quality of the trip. The passenger criticized several aspects of the voyage, including the level of service, the quality of excursions, and the dining experience, which they described as the worst they have encountered at sea. While guest services provided a shipboard credit to address the complaints, the passenger rejected the offer and stated that only a full refund would be satisfactory. In response to these claims, other cruisers noted that overselling a ship is not possible due to the finite number of available cabins. The video concludes with a suggestion that travelers wishing to avoid large numbers of children should avoid sailing during Thanksgiving week.

A cruise passenger is furious as they claim their ship, the Celebrity Eclipse, was oversold by 500 people and packed with unruly kids that ruined the entire cruise experience for everyone.

They slammed the service, the excursions, and they said the dining was the worst experience they've ever had at sea.

Guest services offered them a shipboard credit, but they called it insulting, saying nothing short of a full refund is acceptable.

Cruisers quickly pointed out that you can't actually oversell a cruise ship as there's only so many cabins available.
