nandl2009 Posted March 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2012 We've just booked our first cruise for November this year! I'm very excited, I wish it was sooner. I was worried initially that we might be bored on a ship as we do a lot of holidays where we are trekking and sightseeing but I think I will enjoy the relaxing! We are sailing with Celebrity on Eclipse L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare silentbob007 Posted March 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The Eclipse is a beautiful ship and I really enjoyed the Corning Hot Glass shows they had ... informative, interesting, and amazing (sat through a few of them). The wonderful thing about cruise vacations is that you can be as busy was you want to be ... relax by the pool, or do activities. Trek at ports, or just get off and explore. It's really wonderful.

Rare Roz Posted March 7, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2012 There's a lot to do on the ship. It doesn't have to be all about relaxing. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried initially that we might be bored on a ship as we do a lot of holidays where we are trekking and sightseeing but I think I will enjoy the relaxing! We are sailing with Celebrity on Eclipse L I have done both on cruises and have enjoyed both ways. The beauty of cruising is that if you want to go go go the whole time the options are there for you to do that. but if you would like to sit on your balcony or in a lounge chair and be waited on while getting a massage in the spa. you can do that as well. you will love it I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryl12 Posted March 7, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2012 That's the beauty of a cruise, you can be as busy as you want or just kick back and relax. The cruise ship puts on all types of activities throughout the day if you want activities to learn/keep busy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing with Celebrity on Eclipse L Some ships can be boring, especially smaller or older ships, or with a lot of sea days such as on a trans-Atlantic.:( But that's not the case with Eclipse.:) Or her November itineraries.:) Anyway, all first cruises are great. Have a good one JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmohes Posted March 8, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2012 we sailed her in Jan of this year and she is a beauty. Her crew is amazing and you will be hooked. It will be the first of many I am sure. There should be a thread for cruise addicts. OK maybe this is it...........:eek: Enjoy and if Neuman is still at the Martini Bar you will have a blast with him. Very sweet young man.

Jimnbigd Posted March 12, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Interesting that you are flying to Ft. Lauderdale for this cruise when the Eclipse has several sailings out of London (Southhampton). But, you will have some great Caribbean ports-of-call. Are you staying in the USA before or after your cruise for an extended vacation? I see you signed up for your roll call. Enjoy your cruise.

Are you staying in the USA before or after your cruise for an extended vacation? I see you signed up for your roll call. Enjoy your cruise. Southampton is a couple of hours drive from London and about 4 hours from where I live. From what I can see, the ones that go from Southampton are mainly Europe based and we wanted to try something different for this holiday as we have holidayed in Europe main times. We thought we would have a few days in Miami first before the cruise, hopefully enjoy some sunshine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
