JDPCruisers Posted May 20 #1 Share Posted May 20 Will be on the Eclipse Aug/Sept for Boston to Canada RT and curious from those that have sailed her recently on any thoughts regarding Michaels Club, the condition, does it have a bar, name of the current Concierges and servers (recognizing that they may not be on contract when we cruise)? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted May 20 #2 Share Posted May 20 While we will be spending August on the Eclipse on B2B itineraries, we were last on Eclipse in March, 2023. The Michael's Club does indeed have a bar. Hopefully others who have been on the ship more recently can comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I ask is that we received a Retreat welcome email for Eclipse that contained this picture. I'm thinking this is from a refurbed M or S class, or Ascent (we've been on Edge, Apex and Beyond so know it's not that from those)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted May 21 #8 Share Posted May 21 Just looked at the website and that picture is what is on the website from the Silhouette Retreat Lounge. The website for the Eclipse shows the photos of the Retreat the old Michaels Club. Looks like you may have been sent the wrong picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheeng Posted May 21 #10 Share Posted May 21 We were on Eclipse in January this year and this is very definitely not the dark and outdated Michaels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcpc Posted May 21 #13 Share Posted May 21 I sailed Eclipse last week. Concierges were John and Chris. Retreat Manager was Georgios. Michael's Club does have a "bar" but no seating at the bar. All in all it was a very comfortable venue. It did not have the "updated" furniture as the Edge class and the refurbished M and S class has. No Retreat Sundeck.

I have seen such "stock" photos before in e-mails from the Retreat concierges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 22 #15 Share Posted May 22 And those emails are written by people who have never been actually on any of the ships so they don’t know that there’s a difference from one to another 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st5310 Posted June 22 #16 Share Posted June 22 Here are a couple photos of the old Michael's Club on the Summit taken in 2016 before the refurb. We are going on the Eclipse soon for the first time, but as I understand it the Club has not been upgraded. This is fine with me as DW and I hate the upgraded "modernized" version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted June 22 #19 Share Posted June 22 So is there a bar on the Eclipse, with or without bar stools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeng Posted June 22 #20 Share Posted June 22 We think Eclipse Michaels is not as nice as Summit. Its configured differently without a window making it darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were well pleased that somehow, the pre-restart non-Revolution makeover that Constellation received included new *traditional* furniture!

Let alone those Lamp Shades over the bench seating that everyone bumps their head on. Those bench seats are terribly uncomfortable as the cushions are usually lower then where ones back hits the railing. My least favorites are the sofa's with taller legs in the front - one feels like they are going to tumble over awkward when their legs almost fly in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
