Ventura Another Happy Christmas & New Year on Ventura by pennib

This was our 4th festive cruise on Ventura around the Caribbean islands. The usual efficient P&O system of dealing with flights and luggage soon had us in the holiday mood. This time we were on a Dreamliner from Manchester. We were happy with our balcony cabin on B deck and this was kept immaculate by our Steward Edward. Overall this was one of the best cruises we have done with wall to wall sunshine for the whole trip. We thought the quality and quantity of the food and also the quality of service had improved since the previous Christmas and also the standard of dress of the passengers was very high.

Celebrity Eclipse Were we on a different ship? by Cag.60

My DH and I have just completed a 14 day cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse. We previously travelled on this ship at Christmas 2012 and we're looking forward to our trip. however, on checking out reviews on Cruise Critic, I became increasingly worried at the criticisms and comments about the apparent lowering of standards in every department. Well, lol I cn say is that we must have been on a different Celebrity Eclipse. We are quite fussy travellers and as this was our 18th cruise, have a lot to compare it to. With the exception of a couple of small niggles, we found it really hard to fault anything - even the entertainment (individual acts) was vastly improved over previous cruises, with the exception of the production shows, 2 of which we had seen on other ships - Lazy, Celebrity.
