molik Posted May 30 #101 Share Posted May 30 On our Eclipse cruise on May 11th. I noticed the room attendant putting the dishes in one section of the hallway. We keep any dishes in the room and don't put them outside our cabin door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing appealed to me. I may end up at The Frog and The Onion in the Dockyard this afternoon. They also have a sandwich that is not on display. It is on the menu on the wall. You order it and they delivery it to your table after they make it from scratch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect new cruisers assume this is what you do I’ve had the experience of calling room service to remove them and been told to leave them outside the door, so definitely not a newbie thing.

Rare Lois R Posted May 31 Author #106 Share Posted May 31 Good morning again from the Solarium. I just want to say I know my thread is not in the " story telling" mode of other cruisers but just trying to give an idea of my experience. Yesterday I went to the Dockyard and had lunch at The Frog and Onion and then walked around a bit. I ate on the late side so was not too hungry when I went to Luminae for dinner. I have to say the wait staff in there is excellent. All I wanted was a bowl of soup and a couple of rolls and it was delicious. The soup was from the mdr menu.....it was a chicken broth with mushrooms, carrots and ginger. One of the best tasting soups I have eaten in a long time. Then last night they had a pool party with all kinds of dancing, music, etc I stayed for about 30 minutes. Today is another day of relaxing. I have to say that I have met some nice folks on the cruise and that has been a good experience😀 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, lunch was ok.....had a turkey blt on a baguette but the turkey was so dry I had to take it off the bread. They actually gave me a discount on the bill. The fries were excellent and came out nice and hot. And I splurged and went for an ice cream drink. The pool party was outside with the band playing. The weather has been good. It rained much earlier this morning but the sun is out now. We sail back to NJ later this afternoon Will I sail with X again? I honestly don't know and need to think about it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect new cruisers assume this is what you do I have seen both the room stewards for a later pickup and passengers who see the dishes outside of cabins and think that is what they should do. Not a nice look regardless... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takemewithyou Posted May 31 #111 Share Posted May 31 Lois, I think you are in retreat, correct me if I am wrong. If so, How have you found the food in Luminae? Since you are on a S class ship, can you order from the MDR menu, also? Thanks for your review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted June 1 Author #115 Share Posted June 1 Good morning again and yes I am in the Solarium🙂. So this is our last day and last night I ate with John from Michael's Club and we had a lovely dinner. It was the first time I had stepped into the main dining room all week and omg.....busy and noisy are what came into my mind. Food was very good though I must say. We both had the lobster and it was VERY tender and sweet with drawn butter. They had a couple of activities in the sky lounge and then the singers and dancers put on a show (this was all last night). I will say I have had a really relaxing cruise and met some nice folks. I have enjoyed Luminae too. I did realize 7 nights is too short for me LOL.......need at least 10! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing these are room service items and folks don't leave them in their cabin......and lots of of door signs too. Just observations on my part but why put that food container on the floor outside? Is this a thing now? When we were on the Oasis last year, we saw a lot of that. Not very appealing or sanitary.

Thank you for taking us along. We appreciate hearing about Eclipse. We’ve been cruising since the late eighties and the majority had been with Celebrity, mostly in late eighties thru mid nineties. More recently we chose other lines, as we like the smaller ships. We always enjoyed sailing with Celebrity, and are hoping that things haven’t changed too much.Thanks again, and glad you had a nice cruise.

Hi, unless I am wrong, I don't think Eclipse has a private sun deck. Nobody ever mentioned it to me but I never asked either. There is no private pool as far as I know.

Rare Lois R Posted June 2 Author #123 Share Posted June 2 Sitting at the Newark Airport. It was overall a good week and David, I think I would sail Celebrity again but would do an M class ship and hopefully find a suite. I am really tired ( didn't sleep well last night) and the Temps around the ship varied so much I seem to have caught a cough, which is a big PITA........ Anyway, if you have any further comments and/or questions, let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll change the picture I posted to this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted June 2 Author #125 Share Posted June 2 Thanks David🙂 I sailed Summit many times. I just wonder why the public spaces have to be so darn cold!!!(maybe it is just me). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
