Where is she????

[kjwinston2019]

Would one of you many Cruisers tell me why we do not hear anything about the Eclipse. Last thing I heard it was in San Diego but have never heard anything else. Is it still sailing and waiting for the Spring to do Alaska? I see no reviews or U-Tubes on it. I don’t believe it a “Celebrated” at all. So where is it, does it have a staff?

Is she going to be scaped? I have been on the reflection and love that ship. I know this is a older version of that ship, but why so quiet?

Thanks for letting me know. I am supposed to be sailing on her soon.

She's currently out of service but due to come back online next month.

Just search for Celebrity Eclipse.   She has been parked there for about 5 months or more and will probably remain there until she sails for Vancouver for her first cruise to Hawaii  scheduled for April 23

CD Sue Denning flew out to join her on 25th February, via Tampa, LA & San Diego, but I’ve heard nothing since. She usually posts regularly on her Instagram account.

Jim is correct.  There were 4 7 day coastal cruises, March to April and they were all cancelled, even the last one that sailed to Vancouver to position her for the Apr 23 cruise to Hawaii which we are booked on.

I think that the new regulations from Canadian on elimination of Testing may be great for you and probably will see some updates from Celebrity soon .     I really like the Hawaii Cruises.

We are also on the April 23rd Vancouver to Honolulu and then on the return for a lovely relaxing B2B.  We received our first communication from a shoreside concierge last weekend, but no updates as of yet given that the announcement regarding relaxing testing to enter Canada was announced earlier today.  I had been lurking on the forum for Canadian cruisers, so expected the relaxation of entry requirements.

The Eclipse is a wonderful ship, one of our last 2 Celebrity cruises was on her.  She is in great shape and very glad she will be sailing with passengers again soon!!

I'm hoping Eclipse and Solstice did some soft-goods refurbishments and got Craft Social while they were hanging out for 5 months.

According to a crew member friend, off the CA coast. San Diego area…

[justhappytobehere]

Our October 2022 B2B cruises on Eclipse (New Zealand and Australia) have not been cancelled.  I was just checking with my travel agent the other day and was told that Celebrity are still hoping to get the all clear to go there.

 The Eclipse is currently at port in Los Angeles.

That's a pretty good sign.   Wondering if they are boarding new crew and provisions?     I've been trying to find the scheduled departure but couldn't find it.    You can see her in the background

ha and my first thought was Where is Captain Kate?

 

still those who like Eclipse will like this news.

Now I just can't wait for poor Ovation of the seas to stop sailing around with nothing to do and start up in Alaska.

Captain Kate is in Saint Nazaire shipyard getting the Beyond ready for her first sailing.   She has been posting regularly on Instagram

I am sailing on the Beyond in May. I live 1 mile from Capt Kate's home in the US. What is the etiquette on sending a friendly note to the captain? I don't want anything from Celebrity?

I believe you are able to leave a message on Instagram.   Whether she answers is a different story.  There were 68 comments on her post that  I added above.

This from CC the other day https://www.cruisecritic.com.au/news/6826/

 

Things are moving pretty rapidly here in NZ. I haven't seen any official announcement on cruising but dates for opening our borders to tourists without having to quarantine have changed rapidly and look set to continue to do so. This is the latest government information https://covid19.govt.nz/international-travel/travel-to-new-zealand/when-new-zealand-borders-open/ 🤞 we should be welcoming the Eclipse this year.

Eclipse Revolution was put off until Spring 2021, and Solstice wasn't due for Revolution until late 2021. 

 

Connie was treated to her partial makeover because the goods were already warehoused for the aborted Rev makeover that was scheduled to occur on 1 May 2020 right after the shutdown happened. 

 

Given the schedules, the materiel wouldn't have already been purchased for Eclipse and Solstice, and I doubt that X would have subsequently been willing to spend that kind of cash given what happened to their business.

What is a shoreline concierge?

Shoreside Concierge is supposed to make contact with suite pax pre-cruise to attend to any preparations and preferences in advance of the cruise.

[cookiersmom]

Ah...suites only.  Thx
