Visiting Eclipse tomorrow for the day

[TeaBag]

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.

Enjoy your tour. What a great way to spend a day even in the rain. I guess we were lucky. We got the £5 fare (one way). We loved our trip on the bus and our cruise on Eclipse.

Looking forward to your pictures. We took the National Express to Southampton from Victoria Station as well (£5 one way) and really enjoyed the trip. Are you a travel agent? Did you get a chance to book a cruise on Eclipse?

Nonononono am not a TA!!! Lol.

Just a bit obsessed with writing up stuff. Cruise stuff. I need help.

I guess the coach fares get cheaper the further out you book.

I've got enough cruises booked right now..... Oasis B2B in September, Rhapsody repo in May 2015 then Celebrity Solstice B2B in Feb 2016!! :eek:

 

Currently uploading the pics.

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.

I asked our tour guide and have since emailed her. She has promised to send me the list. Will let you know here when I have it :D

On our way to Eclipse

People are still disembarking..... plenty of taxis

Similar to RCL.... .cannot escape the photographers

 

 

The only way is up

 

 

 

 

This awaits cruise guests..... very not like RCL.... BUT just before this the delightful ping of the setsail pass machine!!!

First stop the 3 tier theatre that can hold over 1,000 in the audience.

 

 

Shopping.... designer labels.....

 

 

I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I am that Park West is on board. When I am cruising the announcements of their 'auctions' pollute the air and ruin the moment for me. I hate to think that their hard sell is parting guests with their hard earned money.

 

 

I don't remember all the names of everywhere I went..... this is a lovely bar

 

 

 

Specialty tea and coffee place with snacks......

Not always easy to not photograph myself

 

 

Freshly cooked selection of food.... the smell was soooo enticing!!

 

 

A private dining area with wine pairing available

Being tuned, one of several pianos

The ship is decorated throughout in subtle shades; many pieces of art adorn the walls and shelves.

Loved seeing your photos - we were on Eclipse for 14 nights this past February and LOVED every moment. Brings back great memories. Thank you for sharing.

I've eaten in gourmet Japanese restaurants..... I have NEVER seen food presented like this before. Food is ordered via iPad.
