Our first voyage on board the Celebrity Eclipse on her final departure of 2019 from the Port of Vancouver. She was repositioning to Los Angeles to relocate for the remainder of her Northern Hemisphere season before she ventured to the Southern Hemisphere later this year.
We chose this cruise as I was in Los Angeles for work and we were looking for something relaxing to do post-work for a one week vacation. This itinerary popped up and the unsold inventory was high – yielding a very good deal on a Concierge Class cabin for the week. It was a deal that we couldn’t refuse. Although this itinerary wouldn’t normally be of interest to us, we enjoyed it very much and for a week away, it offered exceptional value and provided a lovely experience of the pacific coast of North America.
