Almost the last word on the Celebrity Eclipse. 28/08/2016

Wonderful cruise on a wonderful ship. But I do have several bones to pick. No slippers. Gilchrest & Soames toiletries very disappointing,especially the shampoo. The nice room attendant had replaced it with a SHINE version, but it did not fare any better. If I like the toiletries, I take what I had not used,home. This time I left absolutely everything behind. [It would have been different had they been by the White Company or Bulgari]. The choice of free films on TV disappointing as was almost everything else. Too violent. Hate watching the senseless killings,rapes and abuse of children at the best of times, let alone on holiday. Free orange juice in the Oceanview restaurant undrinkable. Very poor choice of tea. The internet service was pricey, $299 for an unlimited use of the wi-fi, but excellent and very easy to navigate when connecting or signing off. And I did get a 25% discount,this came to $ 74.75. Lubbly jubbly. Had I not had my little Toshiba with me, would have not used the internet,a young American male member of staff in the internet cafe was one of the most unpleasant people I have ever had the misfortune to be served by on a ship. Full of himself, talked to me in an unpleasant off hand manner in a raised aerated voice. Others were not spoken to any better. I have picked up the 2017 schedule and there are some back to back cruises I would absolutely love to take. Back to back in the cruise world means that you take two or more cruises one following the other without disembarking. I haven't yet done it, but the next year my time will be my own and I will cruise and cruise and cruise! Back to back, back to front, every which way,but cruise!
