We enjoyed our Celebrity cruise from Boston to Quebec and back. Boarding was easy, our room was well-prepared and our cabin steward/butler was right there to introduce himself and make us feel welcome. The food in the various venues was all good. For some reason the World Cafe seemed very crowded during the entire cruise. There were many times when it was difficult to find a place to sit and people were generally not very courteous. I guess that they were as frustrated as I was.
We didn't see all of the shows, but the ones we saw were quite good. Our favorite was a show that combined acrobatics, lively classical and contemporary music and dancing. It was spectacular.
Because we were out of town for two weeks, we did take advantage of the laundry service. It did take about 18 hours to get our things back, which was in line with what was promised and they did an excellent job. I had read horror stories about laundry, but our experience was very good.
We had sailed earlier in the year on the Silhouette so the interior of the Eclipse seemed a bit tired by comparison. However, it was still clean and comfortable.
The reasons for the 4-star reviews instead of five are three. (1) We used a concierge to help us with some specialty dinner reservations, so we were surprised when we arrived to discover that our planned table of four was listed as 2 tables of 2. We were told that it was not a problem and that it would take about 10 minutes to change things up and prepare a place for us. 30 minutes later we checked and were finally seated. From that point on the service was slow. Apparently, we really disrupted their routine. We all had the premium beverage package, so it would have been nice to be seated somewhere and offered a glass of wine. There was plenty of open space for that to happen. I guess we should have just asked rather than standing around outside the restaurant. (2) I had two excursions scheduled on one day. When I booked, the times were such that we could easily go on both. Somewhere along the line one of the tours was changed to a time that overlapped with the other, but I received no notification that was the case and I didn't notice the times on the tickets until the day of the tour. (3) We took an excursion that cost over $200 for the two of us. Basically we were taken by bus to a small town, dropped off and told to return in about 1 1/2 hours. There was some narration on the trip over and back, but the tour guide seemed more interested in telling stories and jokes rather than describing where we were and what we were seeing. To be fair, I did report it and was given a discount on that tour.
