mkazmer Posted February 5, 2012 #176 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Your review, LibraryLady, is fantastic. I've read it a couple of times as my excitement mounts about our April sailing on Eclipse. That's one of the best things about cruising, isn't it - the building anticipation! A question: WHile DH and I have been to Trunk Bay a couple of times over the year, I am debating going to Trunk Bay on St. John's on our own in April... but I see the ship offers an excursion there as well. A possible advantage of going on our own is that we get over there earlier and have a bit more peaceful quiet time before the ship tour arrives. But maybe that's not really an issue. Did you notice the beach growing more crowded when the excursion arrived?? Did that diminish your enjoyment of Trunk Bay somewhat? Thanks for your thoughts. Thought I would give you a tip that we have used in the past-when arriving on St. Johns, have the "cab" take you to Caneel Bay resort - it is beautiful and they have always been gracious and allowed us to use their beaches-it is a low key, luxury resort and not a lot of people know about it - lovely snorkeling and swimming - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debathome Posted February 5, 2012 #177 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Loving the helpful review and the photos. We will be sailing in May and I am so looking forward to our first Celebrity cruise, even more so after following your thread. Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog67 Posted February 5, 2012 #178 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Great review and photos. Thanks so much for making the effort. Looking forward to Sihouette later this year myself.

librarylady19 Posted February 6, 2012 Author #179 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks, Sandi! Your review is excellent, and I love all the pictures! I really appreciate the time you have taken to post this in depth travelogue! I also appreciate all the info you have compiled regarding staterooms, even though ours is not listed yet!:( I will check back on that sticky again before we sail. I'm really hoping our bed is by the closet, not the veranda. Thanks so much! what cabin do you have? You can usually work out the bed location by referencing other nearby cabins.

hildacloake Posted February 6, 2012 #180 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Sandi, very nice review and even nicer pics. It brought back great memories and makes me very excited about going on the Eclipse a second time around :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenesailor Posted February 23, 2012 #181 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks so much! what cabin do you have? You can usually work out the bed location by referencing other nearby cabins. Sandi, I have saved your review to my bookmarks and have looked at it often. I really appreciated today because we were able to upgrade to Aqua Class and I had skimmed the parts of your review on the Aqua class cabin and Blu. I reread the review and paid more attention to those items! We sail two weeks from today and I have poured over these boards for months! Thank you for an outstanding review!

Buranogal Posted February 27, 2012 #184 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Email wouldnt work for me grr!! Just wanted to know if you booked Murano lunch on board that you were able to have that special chef lunch? Should I pre-book speciality restaurants b4 we sail or wait for discounts on board? Love your detailed photos and review. I hope you realize how much they are appreciated. What would be your favourite port of call? cheers Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdr93 Posted April 16, 2012 #185 Share Posted April 16, 2012 this was an excellent and special review because it was spaced out with comments and pictures for each day and your readers were able to intersperse with their comments and questions. other cruise critic reviewers might use your method as an example for their efforts. thank you john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take a bit more work to re-do the reviews tho.. Here's a link to my Eclipse photos - still need to be better organized but you will get the idea! http://s1080.photobucket.com/albums/j322/librarylady19/Celebrity%20Eclipse%2012-2011/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
