Thanks for such a great tour of the Celebrity Eclipse. Such a detailed narrative, with a smooth transfer from subject to subject. I’m really impressed! Thanks @JJ Cruise! ✌🏾🙂✌🏾
We are so glad to hear!! Thanks Keshia for watching and commenting your kind words! 🤗🥳
Best Ship tour I've seen! Going on this ship in June to Bermuda for my first cruise! Cant wait! Will watch this video many more times until then lol!
This is probably the best ship tour that I've ever seen. Enjoy your cruise! Thank you! 😊
Thanks Robin! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed this ship tour! 🤗🥳
OMG.... on 21.40 min I see that you had Sue Dening as Cruise Director! Do you know that she is the BEST CD that has ever existed???? I first met Sue in 2015 in the Celebrity Constellation and I saw her again in March 2024.
9 more days and I'll be seeing this all for myself. Great tour guys, thank you for all the tips.
Jordan that was a fabulous ship tour with great details. Thanks !
Wow! I was already way too excited to go on this cruise but this tour has me on cloud 9!! I didn’t know it would be that nice! I haven’t been on a cruise since I was a kid and now I absolutely cannot wait!! Thank you!
Such a good ship tour. Well produced and informative. My first cruise with Celebrity is going to be on the Eclipse in April. This is the best tour and review I have found. Thank you
I'm researching various cruises to Bermuda in 2024 and Eclipse is one of the options. Thank you!! Your tour of the ship was outstanding and very helpful.
Thanks for watching! So glad it was helpful! 🥳
Excellent video. I enjoyed your emphasis on quiet areas to relax and how exhaustive you are. Thanks a lot.
I feel prepared for my first cruise with this ship.
So glad to hear! Enjoy your time onboard Eclipse!
We are considering the Eclipse this summer. Thanks for sharing.
I’m going on this cruise in a few weeks!! This video is amazing!!
❤ thanks for the wonderful tour! I just booked Eclipse for 2023.
Great tour of the ship. I have seen a couple of other vidoes of this ship, but you did a great job of showing around the ship. We are sailing on her next Feb to the Antrica and really looking forward to this trip.
Hey and Hi, Thanks for this tour. It is very similar to the Equinox which we dearly love. We will be taking the Eclipse in the Fall, which we haven't done since the pandemic, so your tour really helped me to remember the layout. It's like coming home.
Tks!!! I loved the video!! Thank you for sharing! In addition to seeing the ship, I was able to practice my listening in English (I'm Brazilian and study English). I will go with my family this month to celebrate my birthday on this ship!
Nice tour. Thanks
I really enjoy your ship tour videos. This one is no exception. We are going to be cruising on the Celebrity Summit next month but enjoy seeing all their ships!
Thanks for watching!! We are so glad you enjoyed it! 🥳
Very informative tour! Will be useful for my May 2023 Alaska Cruise with Celebrity Eclipse!
Thanks for watching! So happy to hear! Have an awesome cruise! 🥳
Thanks for sharing👍
Thanks for watching and for the 👍🏽
wow thanks! that was thorough and fun. looking forward to our 22nts next month x
Thanks for watching and commenting!! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour!
Have a wonderful cruise! 🥳
Thank you, i am contemplating this ship for a Pacific coastal cruise!😊
We have our Good, Bad & Ugly Review of this ship coming out on Wednesday at 12:30 pm ET.
Definitely watch the review to help make your decision! 👍🏽🥳
Thank you. My first cruise will be on this ship....much appreciated.
Have a wonderful first cruise!! 🥳
Just found this video and was so happy to see it again. I am going on the Eclipse in July to Beruda. It is only a 7 night cruise, but I love, love Bermuda and I am so happy to see this ship. I have sailed many times on the Summit and I just love it. This will be new to me and it is fun to watch this video again. I did see it before, but then I had no idea that I would be on it sometime. Some of the older ships had those lovely areas to eat outside, so I will enjoy it again. Don't mean to bug you guys, just wanted to know that the tour is helping me out. Got a chuckle from your recent visit to a Brothel. I was laughing at that one. To be honest, I understood it all, because I think you two are handsome.
Very good complete tour of the ship. We are going in June and I look forward to seeing the ship for real.
Have a wonderful cruise Linda!! 🥳
What a beautiful ship!
She’s a great ship!
Informative and nicely filmed!
Thanks Robin!! 🤗
Thanks for the tour of the Celebrity Eclipse. We have not been on the Eclipse, so this was very helpful. We booked a South American Tour in December 2023.
Looking forward to it! CHEERS!
Thanks Sandra!! We are so happy we could help! Our full Review of the Good, Bad and Ugly of the Eclipse is coming soon too!
The memories ! was on the ship in July for Alaska
Such a wonderful ship!
This has been the most informative thorough tour I've ever watched. You did an awesome job letting us know what to expect and to go see. My son and I are going on the Eclipse on June 16th of this yr. You've made me even more excited to sail aboard this ship. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much! We are so glad to hear you found our tour helpful!
Have a wonderful cruise!

Thanks Richard!! That is such a nice thing to hear!
Enjoy Your Christmas Eclipse Cruise!! 🥳
So am I and my hubby! See you there. :)
Great tour. I like walkthrough types of tours best. Odd place to put ping pong tables, near elevator bank landings. I feel the Sunset Bar the Sunset Bar could be bigger. However, when it is too crowded you can go to the Oceanview Bar in the buffet that's really never crowded. The jogging track is good on this ship, doesn't have an incline like Edge ships. Incline is fine but for people with bad hips or knees, then it is an issue. Solarium is a staple on Celebrity and well done. Sky Lounge is invaluable IMO. Very flexible space. Great for viewing the ocean. Great for dancing and silent disco and nightlife. but you can do trivia and talks as well here It's huge and doesn't really ever feel crowded. It's a great space. IMO, this class is worth it over the Edge class because of this space if you aren't a suite passenger and most cruisers aren't suite passengers. Also think it is an essential area if cruising in Alaska. Spa areas keep evolving but I think this spa is extensive. I tend not to like the upselling that goes on in most lines in spas. Solid gym. Solarium and spa cafe is excellent.
Not for all cruisers, but some, libraries and card rooms are important. This placement of the library and style is very nice with the card room just below. Something I really love on the Solstice class that unfortunately was deleted on the Edge ships. I think putting the ilounge and Captain's Club areas in the small areas overlooking the elevator banks and tree was a smart and space saving idea.
The theater is big and nice enough but Edge series way improves on the theate. It's a nice big size and has good sight lines. I love the World Class Bar on this ship. I like the V shaped second table and I feel the decor is very classy retro-modern here. Drinks are way expensive but it's nice to experience it a few times onboard or if you are into high-end drinks this is your spot. The Beyond and AScent brought it back but the style is different and not my preference. Still, it's very nice on both. Area outside of the World Class is the Grand Foyer, not Grand Plaza, area. They're not just different names, and function somewhat similarly but not quite the same. The Grand Foyer was repeatedly called the Grand Plaza on this tour but on Solstice ships, it's the Grand Foyer. Grand Plaza is only Edge class ships.
The Ensemble Lounge is another reason why I personally prefer this class to the Edge. It's a posh, comfortable lounge that's kind of intimate and is a great before-dinner or just really nice area for music and it's right outside the superb Milano restaurant. Which leads me to the loss of Michael's. If you don't know who Perry Grant is, he's a legend on many cruise lines, Celebrity included. He's a piano bar entertainer. At one time, before it was lost to suite passengers, it was one of the hot spots on the ship because he was that good. There are other good piano bar guys as well but he was really treasured. Losing Michael's annoys me because as a piano bar, it was a special place.I just wish another spot was used for a special lounge for Retreat guests. But the Ensemble lounge does not exist on Edge and really, there's no excuse for it. It should. Passport Bar is another lounge type of feel that the Edge ships don't quite capture with their expanded Martini Bar. It's just a less "ship like" feel.
The specialty restaurants are all fine and a lot of the same ones are on the Edge. They're just a bit smaller on this ship. I would say Le Petit Chef is better on this ship due to its placement that's not on the Grand Foyer. So, noise from below decks does not intrude as it can on the Edge ships in their Grand Plazas. Tuscan Grille is Fine Cuts, sort of, on Edge class and not the main dining room Tuscan on Edge ships which is a bit confusing. The main dining room is large and can be noisy and I think the 4 MDR on Edge with different decor/ambiances is an improvement.
I much prefer the Martini Bar on Solstice ships. It just feels more special. It's too small due to how popular it is but it has small sections that feel intimate and the decor is so much nicer IMO. It's again, retro-modern. The tabletop is ice and keeps the martinis cold and there's a feeling you're in an exclusive club rather than in a hotel lobby space like it is on Edge. There's no music or dance floor but that's OK. You can hear music in it however from below when it is played. The Cellar Masters is going to be changed into Craft Social, a change I'm not fond of.
Celeb Central movie theater/secondary theater is unknown to some passengers. I like the secondary foyer. I like the small nightclub, Quasar though it is kind of underused.
Overall, to me, this Solstice class shouldn't be avoided because it is "older." I think it is a mistake some cruisers make to always go for the newest or biggest ship. Sometimes changes are made in the newer class that don't suit everyone. Know what you like and this tour is one of the best to show what is onboard this class of ship. IMO, this class of ship checks more boxes than does the newer and only slightly bigger Edge class. There is no magic carpet and the theater isn't as nice. There is no Eden. But, on Edge there are no Sky or Ensemble lounges, no basketball court, no card room, no library, more limited social spaces to dance and mingle, no lawn club or glass blowing but upgraded spas, somewhat upgraded solarium, a bit more dining spaces, expanded SUnset Bar, something called Annex on the latest ship and only that one, infinity vs. regular verandas which is a big, big deal and more space reserved for suite passengers if you want to spend that money. This is really more of the style of Celebrity ship that Celebrity has established and Edge is them trying new things and IMO, some of them will be repurposed in years to come while others will prove popular and successful. But Edge deletes a lot of the goodness in this ship as well. So, it's up to you. And, this is a far more intimate and IMO warmer feeling ship. But Edge ships are more contemporary feeling with the latest and greatest tech...for now.
This wonderful tour gets a huge thumbs up.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for very comprehensive tour! I feel like I won't be lost the first day!
Happy to help!! 🥳
I did enjoy this video and I must say that you had the same Entertainent Director that I had on Celebrity Summit several years ago. Sue and I had several little chats while I was onboard and I have a photo with her.
Sue was lovely!
I cruised Mar 2023 and was disappointed with the buffet especially at breakfast. No soft fruits only melon, pork fat which was labelled bacon (it wasn't ) and on some days no mushrooms which were replaced with garden peas. Who has peas for breakfast? Not me. It's obvious that it's all down to cost cutting. Even in the restaurant I had to send back a dish because the lamb was inedible I could not even cut it with a steak knife.
Wow that is a big ship. Thank you for the video, great work
Thanks for watching! 🤗
I sail on Eclipse on the 19th April in a concierge stateroom have been on Solstice several times so I'm looking forward to a short break I'm Elite status so hoping that will afford me a few perks.
We love the Elite perks! Have a wonderful cruise!! 🥳
Are there anything on this cruise ship for small kids?
So the grass is greener on that ship lol
Great tour. This ship is going to be doing a few sailings out of NYC in 2024, and since that's my preferred port, I'm considering giving it a try. I'll be doing Celebrity for the first time (Summit, out of NYC) in June, and really love the look of that particular ship based on similar tours. So here's my question: Simply based on ship tours, this one doesn't impress me quite as much as Summit. The Lawn feels like sort of a lot of wasted upper deck space, and the Sunset Bar (which I already know will be a fave) doesn't seem as well situated or as... "nice" for lack of a better word. Also, is there a bar in the Solarium? That would be a real selling point for me. And yes, I focus a LOT of my attention on bars. lol
Thanks for watching, Richard! No bar in Solarium other than a juice/smoothie bar at Spa Cafe. That said, servers usually do come to Solarium for drink service from the pool bar. ☺️
Thanks for the video, very informative! Have you cruised this ship to Bermuda in June and how was the seas, rough or nice? @@JJCruise
@stevenbillings1613 we have not specifically this ship in June but we just cruises there on this ship on this itinerary! Bermuda is in the middle of the Atlantic so seas can be rough or not bad at all. Total crapshoot, but worth it! ☺️
Looks like Picton, am I right? We live in Hamilton in the North Island.
I was wondering which port it was. We are doing a NZ cruise in 4 weeks, so I was wondering what the port was.
I think ill be boarding this ship for a 16 day South American cruise 12/7. Did you say you decided not to get off in Guatemala?
No we took this ship to Australia/New Zealand so there was a port there we didn’t get off at. Have a wonderful cruise! 🥳
what 2 ships do you suggest for Alaska
We are happy to help book your upcoming Alaska Cruise! Just fill out our Inquiry form at www.JJCruise.com and we’ll be happy to help book the best Alaska Cruise! 🥳
Great video. Too bad they combine the running/walking track with loungers…very annoying to try and run around people standing around in the middle of the track.
Interesting with the glass blowing that you said it was season based, but you were in November 2022 in NZ so that was spring, not autumn. Were there a many Americans on board, because us folks downunder do not necessarily associate November with pumpkins. Coming from NSW I would say purple flowers is November - jacaranda in coastal areas and wisteria in cooler climes (Blue Mountains, Armidale).
Having said that I very much appreciate the tour🙂
There is a saying at Sydney Uni that if you leave you studying for exams until jacaranda blooms, you’ve left it too late. At the uni in Armidale (UNE) the administration building was covered in wisteria. So the saying at UNE was leaving studying until the wisteria bloomed was too late.
Yes, this was a Transpacific repositioning cruise that went into a NZ cruise. Mostly Americans but some Aussies! We did celebrate Halloween 🎃 onboard the ship as well. ☺️
@@JJCruise I am interested in the port the day you filmed. We are doing a NZ cruise at the end of January so the video was very helpful. What was the port you were in?
Did you guys have to show the negative self-test to get on board ? How did that work ? We're sailing on Eclipse jan. 2nd of 2024 - after having done new year's eve in Sydney.
Great question! We did but we were the first sailing over and things are rapidly changing in Australia so we recommend checking Celebrity’s website in the Health Section at the top specifically for your embarkation port. ☺️
I see a lot about stairs - what about elevators? My wife and I are both largely chair bound, how hard would it be for us to get around?
Not hard at all! Two main elevator banks (one fwd and one midship). The ship seems to be very access-friendly. But of course, we cannot fully experience it the same way you would be able to. We do know that people prioritize those in chairs for elevators usually on Celebrity Cruises which we know isn’t always the case everywhere. ☺️
Hello Everyone 👋
Hey Tony!
Did you see and experience the glass blowing guys?
We have yet to do it as it costs a lot and we have limited weight for bring stuff home 😅
I did it in July kinda pricey but fun
Always surprised how much prime real estate is given over to the basketball court, which on all the cruises we've been on doesn't seem well used
We see them in use a lot on other lines but you are correct, on Celebrity it is rarely used 😅
I think the grass looks neat, but it always has the signs that say not to walk on it most of the time. So I would prefer they get rid of it and put in high quality artificial grass that can hold up. Cool marketing concept, in reality not great.
Hi, you mentioned an Apple TV! Can you use it on board? It’s Apple TV the device, right?
Is this a gay friendly ship?
