Celebrity Esclipse Feb 8th

[Hula Hips]

we are going on celebrity for first time. please tell me the food is great, the entertainment is top notch?? What is there to do during day as we tend to get bored? we don't play bingo, trivia, or gamble. Will we be bored?? Are there any sports on board? hubby loves softball ? any batting cages or golf?? Are pools cold on the ship?

I really hope you don't take offense as I'm only trying to help address the questions you raised, and keeping in mind the written word can appear harsh, here's my thoughts.

 

I read your previous posts to try and get a sense of what it is you are looking for in a cruise vacation. I see you have tried different cruise lines and that food and entertainment are priorities and unfortunately your expectations on the cruises you have taken have not been met.

 

We have cruised many times, on many cruise lines including the ones you have tried. Our tastes are all different, what you may prefer, I might not, and having said this on every cruise we have always found food we enjoyed, sometimes we've had to look a bit harder than others, but we've always been satisfied with the different options.

 

The same with the entertainment, some we like, some we don't, but we've always been able to find enough to do to keep us happy.

 

For us Celebrity meets all of our cruising needs, but ........and here's where I hope you don't get offended...... from reading your previous posts I have to ask if perhaps cruising on any mass market line can really meet your expectations?

 

Your dining expectations haven't been met on your other cruises, and I doubt given your expectations if Celebrity will meet them either. I keep in mind the menus are designed for the mass market, most people won't care for food too spicy, too much sauce, too rich, too bland, so the middle ground is the one chosen by the cruise line. This may not be what you are looking for.

 

The same with entertainment, bingo, casinos, trivia, reading, spas, sunning, shopping, exploring the ports visited are what most people want on a cruise, and if those entertainment options aren't what you are looking for then Celebrity or any mass market cruise line may well not be for you.

 

I hope I haven't offended or sounded harsh, but in conclusion given your previous posts on what you have said about your previous cruises, and what our experience on Celebrity has been, cruising may well not be for you.

 

Whatever you choose, I hope you have an enjoyable vacation.

I know I may have sounded critical on previous posts however I guess I expect a lot when spending good money. I did find the food on Royal was quite Fabulous as I even purchased the cookbook, that's how great it was. Basically it's trying to find a comfortable lounge chair in a quiet area is what I Need (being I have a medical condition) so if the chairs on the outside deck overlooking the water are nice and comfortable and quiet we should be fine. Yes understand the food is subjective and also entertainment. I do expect a show that lasts more than 1/2 hr. Don't you? Hope to get some good info on celebrity to help make it easy and enjoyable as we continue to experience the "cruise lifestyle" to see if it is for us. At least we don't give up easily. We are willing to try all lines to find the perfect fit.

To do this another time, go to the top right of this page and click on Roll Calls in the box entitled "More about Celebrity Cruises". This will take you to the Celebrity roll call page. Scroll down click on Eclipse. Click on Feb 8 thread.

 

I find this simpler than the new "Find you roll cal" l link at the top left of this page but you might not.
