Celebrity Eclipse
What sets Eclipse apart from her sisters? Celebrity Eclipse is the third of five sister ships in Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice Class fleet, but a brace of brand-new features sets her apart from her siblings. Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice Class ships are large but their design and décor are elegant; intimate rather than overtly sumptuous. Colours are never garish but there’s lots of ‘wow factor’, especially in areas such as the Tuscan Grille, The Lawn Club and AquaSpa by Elemis.
Rhapsody of the Seas Review
When the ship is as important as the destination... I believe all cruise ships are beautiful; some more than others. It’s a matter of comparing many factors. When my wife Sandra and I boarded Rhapsody of the Seas, we were a little disappointed at not being able to obtain a balcony stateroom, but we became pleased with our large Oceanview stateroom, with its picture window and more room than the usual balcony stateroom. Our cruise was headed north and we were looking forward to 10 days of R&R.
Retail Therapy – Part 2
Shopping in port is one of our favourite pastimes. Here’s Cruise Passenger’s guide to finding the world’s best buys. 6. Yokohama and Tokyo in Japan offer the latest-model cameras and electronics. Many of the goods for sale here have not yet been released elsewhere in the world. The Akihabara precinct in Tokyo has an almost overwhelming choice. Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok are other good cities for buying electronic goods, but do some research beforehand to determine what is a good deal.
