Congratulations on your cruise !! This was our second TA in the Spring on Celebrity . The first was on the Connie with the new kid on the block the Solstice , tagging along for the ride ! We scored an FV just before departure and also had calm seas on the crossing . Bermuda is beautiful ! Enjoy the review and we will be glad to answer questions if we can . :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bimmer09 Posted October 9, 2016 #2004 Share Posted October 9, 2016 That's one great spacious balcony on the Connie, Joe! The water in Bermuda looks very inviting too. We have never been there. So many tempting destinations, so little time. Norris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never been there. So many tempting destinations, so little time. Norris The FV balcony on the M class is better than on the s class in terms of size and aft view !! Our's is annotated with the cabin number . Cabin was a spacious 271 sq. ft and the Veranda is 242 sq. ft. Most of the area is covered , but there is a uncovered cantilevered area for sunning . On the deck below us is the penthouse with a whopping 1432 sq. ft and the Veranda is 1098 sq. ft . !! Bermuda and it's beaches are beautiful !! Horseshoe Bay The East bound TA is one of our favorite cruises that we would like to do again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We requested an OBC the way that Princess does and were refused . Consequently , we downsized our suite on the Equinox to an SV , thus saving $3500 :cool: We used the difference to book a suite , our first on the Caribbean Princess , for next summer . And while we do enjoy the Celebrity product ( we have 4 cruises currently booked with them ) , we find their customer loyalty to be lacking when compared to Princess .

There are a number of things which we prefer with Princess which we will list if you like . But perhaps it is better if you draw your own conclusions , based on your experience . :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 8, 2017 Author #2019 Share Posted February 8, 2017 At the bottom of the page you will find a chart of our ratings with things that are important to us about the Eclipse , the Regal Princess , and the Caribbean Princess . The ships are numbered 1 , 2 or 3 with 1 being the highest rating . And so the lower the number , the higher the rating !! :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 17, 2017 Author #2020 Share Posted February 17, 2017 With only 2 days left before boarding the Eclipse we are having some reservations about this cruise . This will be our third cruise of 14 days or longer on the Eclipse , and therein lies one of the problems - 14 days at sea and No self serve laundry . We recently spent 13 days on 2 different Princess ships and they both coin operated laundries . They also had premium coffee for sale available 24 hours a day unlike , Cafe al Bacio . Another thing we will be missing from Princess is the MDR experience . There are 3 on their ships with no long lines as is the case on the Eclipse with it's single dining room . And there is much more room at the dining tables on Princess also . The Royal class on Princess like the Eclipse , has 2 sets of stairs . But when concerned people complained , a third stairway was opened . So if you agree , by all means , speak up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on that you may get a free laundry bag each P.P for the length of the cruise. I know we are Elite, but we have managed to stuff a bag with 30+ items once a week for FREE laundry. As to your other comments, I'm looking forward to our first cruise on Princess! Shame you may be cancelling an Eclipse cruise, due to the wedding vow renewal. That's not the cruise leaving from Dublin is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the cruise leaving from Dublin is it? Pat just told me that we are select , beginning with this cruise . Our final payment will be due on the June cruise when we return in early March , which is the cruise that we will replace with the Harmony , if we go in July . The cruises from Dublin on May 10th and 20th , 2018 and Antarctica January 20th , 2019 , are still scheduled as planned . We hate to cancel cruises but we see the Harmony as a replacement for the Eclipse . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
