Rare cruisestitch Posted Monday at 05:47 PM #1 Share Posted Monday at 05:47 PM I don’t do a day by day report, but I’m happy to answer any questions anyone has about the ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted Monday at 06:18 PM #2 Share Posted Monday at 06:18 PM If you have Select dining and are going to see a Maitre d' on boarding day to arrange dining time, please advise how that goes. We board in 3 weeks and have never been on Eclipse before. Have done Equinox many times as well as RF and SL. I also will be curious to know if Decoy is available in both Cellar Masters and Sky Lounge and what brand of champagne is being served. It has been either Cattier or Haslinger the last few cruises we have done. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted Monday at 06:30 PM Author #3 Share Posted Monday at 06:30 PM I won’t be able to help with the select dining inquiry because we will be at the buffet tonight, but I am on the hunt for decoy myself. interesting anecdote about decoy. I just got off back to back to back Cruises on silhouette. The first two, I had decoy every night at dinner in the main dining room. On the third cruise, was told that the ship was completely out of decoy and they made a nice substitution. However, interestingly enough, at one of the quizzes, sponsored by future cruises, guess what the prize was? Yep, a bottle of decoy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted Monday at 06:37 PM #4 Share Posted Monday at 06:37 PM (edited) we are on a similar cruise pattern.. Silho in Dec 2024 ( plus APEX 2025) and Eclipse 2026 in AQ . Main interest is condition of the ship & specialty dining..if you go Enjoy! Edited Monday at 06:40 PM by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted Monday at 06:55 PM Author #5 Share Posted Monday at 06:55 PM (edited) What I have seen of the ship so far (and it’s an early times yet), everything is good shape, spotless, and in working order. everything except the app of course. Here are just two examples. Edited Monday at 06:58 PM by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted Monday at 07:15 PM #7 Share Posted Monday at 07:15 PM Have a great cruise. We were suppose to be on this sailing but got sidetracked by some health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted Monday at 07:36 PM Author #8 Share Posted Monday at 07:36 PM Well, this is. NOT GOOD NEWS. after having put up with the loss of the sky lounge to the park west VIPs on three successive silhouette Cruises in August and early September, I must suffer through them again. 😒😒😒 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenMR Posted Monday at 07:37 PM #9 Share Posted Monday at 07:37 PM (edited) Thank you for doing this! Would you possibly be able to tell me if the cabin doors are metal, specifically will a magnet stick to them? Also, is the hot glass show still on board?

He recommended I try cellar masters and they had it. I asked seller masters what champagne and they said Cattier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novasmom Posted Tuesday at 04:41 PM #16 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:41 PM Would u be able to obtain email for maitre d? Each cruise prior i obtained it..my husband has dementia and we really need to request a 2 topper for our 6pm dinner. He would be SO stressed with a 4-6-8 topper. Anything u can do to help would be SO appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Author #17 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM I replied on your other thread. There is no need to worry about this ahead of the cruise. If you have any time dining, just request A to talk when you get to the maitre D stand. If you have fixed dining, tell the maitre D that you needed two top and you’ll get one.

Carol28 Posted Tuesday at 06:46 PM #22 Share Posted Tuesday at 06:46 PM My friends just got off the previous cruise and indicated the ship was old and tired.They have taken newer ships recently. What do you think? We were on the Slhouette in June which was updated and were pleased. Can you find out if the Eclipse is going to be updated similarly to how the Silhouette was updated? We're looking at a Transatlantic in 2026, so there's plenty of time for that upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a broken elevator button but nothing else that I have observed is in disrepair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
