#1cruisecoach Posted February 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi...I am trying to decide between the Celebrity Constellation or the Celebrity Eclipse for a cruise to the Baltic area this summer. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I really like Celebrity but would be open to opinions of Holland as well...never cruised on them. Our ages are 60 and 63. We travel a lot but are not overly picky about the food. We go for the destinations. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted February 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The Constellation is eight years older than the Eclipse and holds about 900 passengers less. So if size or age matters to you that might help. Having sailed on the Constellation I am very fond of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted February 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, I like any Celebrity ship I have sailed, but being as we are booked on a fourteen-night cruise on Eclipse next month, so, of course, I would lean toward Eclipse for your cruise. I think you will enjoy either ship, by the way. Eclipse is newer, bigger and has a few more amenities such as a natural grass lawn and glass blowing demonstrations.

Tiggertastic Posted February 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2013 We did the baltics on the eclipse and it was fantastic Suggest either, SPB tours or Alla Tours - SPB fuill buses upto 16 people and you can easily join 2 or 4 different tours and the price is 2 days for what the ship charges for 1 and it includes your visa that they arrange.

#1cruisecoach Posted April 2, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi...Can anyone recommend a good pre cruise hotel in London? Should I book it through Celebrity or on my own? We are flying to London the day before our cruise leaves for a Baltic sailing. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 2, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 2, 2013 All things being equal I would definitely go with the Eclipse. For London Hotels be sure to post on the British Isles Board. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pris993 Posted April 2, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have been on both the Eclipse and Equniox... prefer the older Celebrity ships, the newer ones are more hype in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabGuy64 Posted December 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Wish they had the glass blowing demonstrations on Silhouette Well, I like any Celebrity ship I have sailed, but being as we are booked on a fourteen-night cruise on Eclipse next month, so, of course, I would lean toward Eclipse for your cruise.

LabGuy64 Posted December 9, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Can I ask why you say that? I have read posts from people that prefer te M class ships...but still say the S calss are very nice...and everyone seems to agree the bathrooms are better in S class....really love the look of the shower in the penthouse.....thinking of getting a similar set up in my home I have been on both the Eclipse and Equniox... prefer the older Celebrity ships, the newer ones are more hype in my book.

We were booked in the PH on Equinox this past Feb and April, and I just finished a complete redo of my master bath, doing the shower the same way, using the same hardware company, with the body jets, hand held and rain shower. It's heaven. My choice would be the Eclipse. While I love the M Class, with the exception of Summit, I prefer the public venues on the S Class, such as the Molecular bar and the lawn areas.
