budisal Posted July 4, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'd love to see a karaoke song list. I'm on the Eclipse this winter and I'd love to at least practice some songs on the list so I don't fall flat on my face. Happy hunting. Have a great cruise. And thank you.

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted July 5, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted July 5, 2014 There's a number of ways to get to Southampton from London. I'm on the cheapest. National Express Coach from Victoria Bus Station. Day return cost £20. Free WiFi on board. Pouring with rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare welshfamily Posted July 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Have a wonderful day. I would recommend trying out Persian gardens and the hot tiled beds if you get the chance. Please would you look at and write about embarkation. We are there on the Eclipse in 4 weeks and we have been given times to arrive. They are now boarding deck by deck. Is this being enforced? Also is there different lines for security? By this I mean a are cruises separated by staterooms I.e. Suite, Aqua Class, or Captains club status! or is in a first come first served basis. We are happy to wait our turn and board as directed by Celebrity. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinnamon Posted July 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I live about a third of the way from London to Southampton. Yes, the good weather has broken. Dull and damp today. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted July 5, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just passed Winchester Services. Rain has stopped unlike coach which is making good time. Had to bring friends who had never cruised before. She is vegetarian and I am Gluten Intolerant. Her DH eats anything! Many food pics to follow.

iandjm Posted July 5, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Enjoy your visit. I got off eclipse 2 weeks ago and am missing the ship badly. Roll on 19 October! Edited July 5, 2014 by iandjm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset53 Posted July 5, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Also completed a cruise on the Eclipse two weeks today and had a wonderful time. Can't praise the Blu restaurant enough. It really made our holiday. In 2010 we won a two day cruise on the Eclipse and were onboard for the naming ceremony. It is a great ship!

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted July 5, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted July 5, 2014 At check in. People still disembarking, plenty of taxis all sizes. We walked from coach terminal, 15 minutes fast paced. Maybe 30 of us waiting for tour to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[g]cruiserke Posted July 5, 2014 #18 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Have fun - we're on the Eclipse's trans-Atlantic in November and really looking forward to it. TBH I don't know if I would want to take a one-day tour of a cruise ship, knowing I'd have to leave the ship come the evening. I'd be severly tempted to play stow-away and remain on board :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Sixth? Posted July 5, 2014 #21 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just off the strip today. Great cruise. Super crew. Super ship. Everyone's can have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted July 5, 2014 Author #22 Share Posted July 5, 2014 There's a number of ways to get to Southampton from London. Yeap. On my Adventure TA I used the megabus train. They opened check in at 1010. You can checkin whenever you arrive. Boarding was later. We've toured much of the ship and had the wine tasting. Currently in the dining room awaiting lunch. Many pictures taken. She's a beautiful ship. Very different to what I have become accustomed to. More touring after lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
