That is absolutely the best compliment we can get is when our videos are helpful to others! Thank you for watching and when you go have a great cruise 😊
Cruisers beware…Booked a Retreat suite room 2134 on 12th floor of this ship. A 6 day cruise hitting Cabo and San Diego ports. Horribly noisy room day and night with food trolleys rolling over head. Like thunder the sound of thunder. I’m not joking that’s how loud it was. We found out that the room is located below a food prep area. Celebrity should provide a disclaimer and huge discount for anyone that books this room. It definitely should not be booked as a Retreat. We had to find other places to go for peace and quiet. For the inconvenience they offered us a room to sleep in at the very back of the ship on the 7th floor as they had no other comparable suites available and a small discount on a future cruise. Probably won’t sail with them again. The best part of the cruise was the excellent service and food in the Luminae. The crew in the restaurant were awesome.
Every cruise ship on every line has rooms under a cafe, pool, lounge etc. of course there will be noise. It is imcumbent on us to do our research. More your fault than Celebrity's, do you always complain this much about stuff you are responsible for?
This was as thorough of a video as you can get. 👏 Holy moly that fitness center. Im not a gym buff, but that selection of equipment is amazing. Everything else of course was beautiful.
Hi Sports Boss, wow your first cruise. How exciting. You know once you take your first cruise you’re going to be hooked. Thank you for the wonderful comment and thank you for watching. Have a great cruise 😊
I am going on my 13th cruise. I’m leaving from Buenos Aires to Antarctica and back in February on this ship. It will be my home for 14 days. Thank you for the tour so I can see what to expect. I just took my 3rd cruise on the Holland American line, 1st cruise after the pandemic, and I was greatly disappointed by the food. I’m hoping this trip will be all joy.
What a fantastic tour! You captured everything and your naration was so helpful but certainy not a bunch of yak for the sake of yak, LOL. I'm not on her until March 2025 for a TA but very excited. Looks to be in very good condition all things considered. Thanks again for this.
Thank you so much for watching 😊. Bermuda is beautiful I’m sure you’ll love that Cruise. Someone else told us it was called Cornhole, that is a hilarious name. Shug is stubborn and still wants to call it toss across lol
I am watching all the videos I can for our Sept. 17 cruise. Yours was fantastic❣ I have a confession to make--I watch all videos at 1.25 or 1.5 speed. If I want to catch something special, I slow down the video and watch it at normal speed. Susan Motschman
That’s hilarious, we actually do the same thing when we watch other Vlogs. We play them at a faster speed and if we see something that looks interesting we stop it rewind it a little little bit and watch that part. Also, thank you for that wonderful compliment. We really do appreciate it. 😊
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!
Hi Nay, thank you so much for the wonderful comment. That is very cool to hear that you are practicing listening in English and that your Brazilian. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch our content and I hope you and your family have a wonderful time on your cruise 😊
I'm used to this line and this is a proper Celebrity ship for me opposed to their newest ones, the Edge csss. If you like more exciting cruise, the Edge is somewhat more exciting. But I don't like it. I like this one, this class of ship vs. the Edge class of ships. Your tour is superb. Well done.
Hi Benjamin, to be honest we like a mix of excitement and relaxation. This cruise was a very relaxing cruise that we really enjoyed and will definitely do again. Thank you so much for the wonderful comment and thank you for watching 😊
That’s a tough one. It depends on where you place more value, on the savings or on the entertainment for sea days. There’s definitely not as much to do on this ship.
@@nikkib6604 Edge is better for solos I think because it is more geared toward group activity. You can save money going with an inside cabin if you don't mind no view of the outside world or balcony/infinite balcony.
Just wanted to say hi! Thank you for your time in creating this informative video! So much better than the pushy travel agent tours! Looking forward to watching others.
It's called cornhole..but I may just start saying toss across. It's more fun to say 😊😂. Thanks for the ship tour. Looks like an older crowd. I'm sure it's nice to experience different ships.
Cornhole, that’s an interesting name lol. Shug gets toss across from a similar game along time ago. Yes it was definitely an older crowd but we do love to experience different ships and different atmospheres. Thank you for watching 😊
I waa nodding my head when you said "older crowd." Then I thought, "Wait a minute. At 75 I AM the older crowd." We'll be aboard in September, Boston-Quebec City-Boston. our first Celebrity cruise since 1996! Looking forward to piano music, theater shows, padded lounges facing the sea--just begging to mesmerize you into a little nap, the grassy area and lots of etcs! We could only afford an inside room, but it's near one of our favorite spots, The Library, so we're okay. I'm so glad we found this video as it was great--and I'm taking notes. Susan Motschman, cruising since 1988.
Definitely the clientele for Celebrity on this sailing is a tad too sophisticated for my liking. It 🎉just reminds me of going to a corporate office/building and lots of business people on vacation. Even the GYM got a different age group attending which is so amazing and even the DJ 😂. They do focus on dessert looking amazing. Overall really elegant ship with nice amenities and the real grass 🤯
It was very different. You should’ve heard the music that was being played during the sail away party lol. It had us laughing hysterically definitely not your normal Sailaway party. Did you guys happen to do our survey we posted yesterday about posting different content on our channel?
@@ShugAlansTravelChannel oh I can imagen the sail away being very mellow. Like I said where’s the steel drums lol Yes! Survey submitted. I’m here for your guys dynamics and fun chemistry regardless of what you guys shared.
Hi Sean, if I remember correctly the water was heated and we were wondering the exact same thing. It was definitely a different crowd of people from what we’re used to sailing with lol
Yes, I am considering cruising this ship on a 9 day ABC island in November. While I like that I don't see a bunch of kids running around, it seems as if this crowd was half asleep? Is that a fair assessment? Good info!
@ShugAlansAdventures the only celebrity cruise I have done was a Mediterranean, and i was 38 my Ex was 41. We were definitely some of the youngest people on it. Now I am 53 but I still don't want to be around sleepy inactive seniors . Although I am now nearly a senior ! I don't always act like one! Didn't look like much diversity either 🤔
@@ShugAlansTravelChannel If that is true, I think we will be the younger of the older crowd. Whatever! I'm sure we'll enjoy our 11 day cruise. Note : On the Cruise Critic boards for our Sept. 17 cruise, there seem to be a lot of cruisers younger than us (75). We enjoy all ages!
Hi NurseTara04, to be honest we haven’t been on the summit to give you an honest comparison but our look is cruising is beautiful no matter what ship you’re on. We’re fortunate to be able to and always try and look for the positives of every cruise ship we’re on. We just love being on the water by any means necessary lol. Thank you for watching and have a great cruise in May 😊
@@ShugAlansTravelChannel I would have to say I absolutely agree. We are fairly new cruisers, took our first in May 2023. We’ve to date been on 4 cruises and looking forward to our 5th this May. We haven’t sailed on any “big” ships yet as Baltimore is our home port, but Bayonne NJ is a short 3 hour drive, which is where we’ll be sailing on the Eclipse from.
We of course love cruising in general but we really love the big ships like Royals Oasis class and of course the newer Icon class. There’s just so much to do that seven days isn’t really long enough. To be your fifth cruise and you just started cruising in May of last year is awesome. We always say once you take that first cruise you’re addicted lol
@@ShugAlansTravelChannel Yes after our 1st cruise I came home and booked 3 more cruises 😂 I’m certainly addicted! We will be on our first big ship in October on Symphony of the seas. I’m very excited about that! Then again in December we’ll be on Odyssey OTS.
Hi Paul, this is a ship tour what exactly were you looking for? A review of the carpet? The ship tour has nothing to do with ports facility and what do you mean by more videos? What was missed in the tour?
I was not happy with the buffet at all, Shug loved it. She likes things like the stirfry and to be honest it didn’t get any better for me so I hope it does for you. Either way you’re on a cruise ship and life doesn’t get any better than that 😊. I hope you still have a great cruise!
I’ll be on this ship in June. Thanks for the great tour!
That’s awesome have a great Cruise 😊
Hey, I'll be on in June as well. June 9th to Bermuda
I'll be on the Eclipse in July to Bermuda! Looking forward to it!
@lillisarantos3767 that’s awesome Lilli, have a great great cruise 😊
Very thorough video and much appreciated! We will be sailing on this ship soon so your video was helpful.
That is absolutely the best compliment we can get is when our videos are helpful to others! Thank you for watching and when you go have a great cruise 😊
Excellent video! We’re going on the Eclipse over Thanksgiving. What a pleasant tour you provided. Thank you so much❤!
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment and thank you for watching. We really do appreciate it. Have a great cruise in November 😊
Great tour you two! 💜

Did you choose/sign up for the room yourself or did you use a travel agent? Very curious.
Hi Earths, Alan is a Travel Agent so he takes care of everything for us 😊
@@ShugAlansTravelChannel I figured that. I wanted to know if Angelaj used a travel agent?
This was as thorough of a video as you can get. 👏 Holy moly that fitness center. Im not a gym buff, but that selection of equipment is amazing. Everything else of course was beautiful.
Hi Ivy G, thank you so much for watching 😊
That's what a called a complete review. Thank you so much!
Hi Barbara, thank you so much for that wonderful comment we really do appreciate it 😊
I'll be on this ship in just 3 months for my very first cruise. The tour was very interesting and informative. Nice job!

Hi L W, thank you so much for the wonderful comment and thank you for watching 😊
Great coverage. Thank you. Looking at the Eclipse for Burmuda in the spring. "Toss Across" = "Corn Hole" here in North Carolina.
Wow you and I are looking at the same trip
Thank you so much for watching 😊. Bermuda is beautiful I’m sure you’ll love that Cruise. Someone else told us it was called Cornhole, that is a hilarious name. Shug is stubborn and still wants to call it toss across lol
Thank you so much for this informative video😊 My wife and I are planning on a cruise on this ship next year, and your video was relaxing to watch!
Hi Robert, thank you for watching. That cruise was probably one of our most relaxing cruises we’ve ever been on so I’m sure you’ll have a great time 😊

Hmm the same itinerary I am looking at on an Edge ship is about $1000 more . But could be worth it on sea days !?? Especially when I maybe going solo

my experience on Navigator's windjammer on boarding day was terrible. Looking forward to this ship in July. Thanks for this video!

I recognize the Effy locket necklace 😉!
What a good eye lol. We were on that cruise with Shug‘s uncle and aunt and Shug and her aunt were collecting little stones that go in that locket.
38:34 The game with the bags and boards is called “cornhole.” They even show tournaments on TV. Some places (Chicago?) call the game, “Bags.”
Hi Jackie, it’s funny how many people have told us that and we had no idea lol. Thanks for watching and thank you for the info 😊
Nice video. Was the water cold or heated in the Solarium? kind of wondering why no one was swimming. Thank you.

Cornhole - the name of the toss across game
We’ve been told that several times now and every time we hear it it cracks us up lol. Thank you for watching 😊
❤
It's Tuscan, not Tucson. 😅
Goodness why was it so loud up in that sky observation lounge? that's not relaxing
That’s a good question lol
Toss acros's called corn hole
Thank you Carol 😊
The game is cornhole 😜
Hi Mary, we’ve been told that so many times now and we had absolutely no idea lol. Thank you for watching 😊
Carpet review....less of your faces
..more videos.. what ports facility...so much missed
Hi Paul, this is a ship tour what exactly were you looking for? A review of the carpet? The ship tour has nothing to do with ports facility and what do you mean by more videos? What was missed in the tour?
Wow did you even watch the same video I just did?!? This was one of the most informative Eclipse tours on YT IMO.
Actually, I thought they did a remarkable time concentrating on the ship, not themselves. Terrific video.
On this ship now, the buffet is not any good .
Holland America was much better. Not happy
Hope it gets better?
FYI.
I was not happy with the buffet at all, Shug loved it. She likes things like the stirfry and to be honest it didn’t get any better for me so I hope it does for you. Either way you’re on a cruise ship and life doesn’t get any better than that 😊. I hope you still have a great cruise!
