SandG Posted February 10, 2016 #76 Share Posted February 10, 2016 This had been our second day at sea, and happy to report that it's now a lot warmer. :-) Our cruise director is Jane McAnealy. The "Evening Chic" ended up not a whole lot different from what people used to dress up like in the old formal nights. Due to the new guidelines, my husband, among others, decided to leave the jacket behind, but dressed in a button-down shirt. But there were a lot of men still dressed in tuxes and suits, and women in fancy dresses. I think that there's really no change, but Celebrity basically acknowledged how people were dressing that night anyway, because of the tighter restrictions on luggage nowadays. Last night's show, Rock City was really good. I personally think that the entertainment on Celebrity has been a whole lot better than in the past. We've cruised on Royal Caribbean and Princess, and each has their strengths and weaknesses, and in the past, I would have put Celebrity at the bottom of the three when it comes to entertainment, but now I'm not so sure. I joined the "Eclipse Choir" today. That's something I hadn't seen before, but has been fun so far. We are working on Broadway tunes, and two of the Celebrity singers are leading the group. The food has been very good, as always. This is the main reason we love to cruise with Celebrity. Tomorrow we have 12 hours in Aruba, and very excited about that. That is followed by 2 days in Curacao. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandG Posted February 10, 2016 #77 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Do you know the name of the duo? I really like the singer/guitarist on board. They are called "Bella River Duo" - both very talented. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im A Happy Cruiser Posted February 10, 2016 #79 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hello all presently on the Eclipse. I'm enjoying all your posts and am eagerly awaiting my turn to sail on Feb 21st. Could someone post the rates for manicure and/or pedicures as well as massages? Also, were there any specials or coupons for these services that you are aware of? Does anyone know if the listed spa rates are negotiable? Thanks in advance for any replies! Please keep sending your posts, especially on your activities at each port.

mickey89 Posted February 10, 2016 #80 Share Posted February 10, 2016 When you are in Curacao could you or someone report on the Veneto Holiday Resort. They offer a day pass for $15pp, the resort is to the left of the pier, within walking distance of the ship. Could be a good option when could consider the cost of getting to Mambo beach, which most people tend to do these days. The hotel doesn't get very good reviews on Tripadviser but they aren't that reliable these days, their beach looks great, check it out on - https://holiday-beach.com Thanks for any feedback.

Many many years ago, we had spent a few days at that hotel and it was fine. Then, many years ago, on a cruise, we visited their beach and found that the water could be cleaner. We never returned. Maybe it is better now. I would like to hear if anyone goes there. We are not wild about the beaches in Curacao. Once we went quite far. I forget the name of the beach. The water was spectacular, but the beach was rocky and you had to enter the water from a ladder on a pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Joe Today, one of our roll call members coordinated a tour with Irie for a combo tour, distillery visit and beach stop. There was so much interest, we filled our own bus. Only $25, a good value. Some are doing another trip with them tomorrow. A few of us are getting a resort pass for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
