We traveled on the Eclipse last year to Australia/New Zealand and most recently to Antartica. I will admit last year we were a little disappointed in the MDR food and also thought the ship looked a little tired. However, this year we definitely noticed a nice improvement to the MDR food and choices. Sushi on Five was great (we went twice.) Yes some areas are worn, the library book choices are minimal but we could overlook those things. The crew is just outstanding. They are happy, thoughtful - truly just a fantastic group. Many remembered my husband and I and cheerfully greeted us every day of our cruise. Manuel was the Cruise Director and he was very social and humorous. We would not hesitate to book another cruise on this ship.
