If you are contemplating whether to take a cruise trip instead of the usual traveling to destinations via road or air, you are probably making the right decision. A cruise trip is so much better than a road trip since the hassle of driving to and from the vacation destination is completely removed. Everyone gets to enjoy on a cruise ship and you have so much more to do while traveling. A cruise trip offers everything from entertainment to accommodation, and also includes some really awesome meals. Even the transportation costs and all other costs are covered by the ticket cost.
In a week when Norwegian Cruise Line brought home to Miami their newest, biggest, most innovative, most ballyhooed ship in their fleet, Norwegian Epic, they were upstaged a day later by an acquisition made by Carnival CEO, Micky Arison. This acquisition though does not float, except in slow motion, but stole headlines nonetheless. LeBron James is now a member of the Miami Heat. You think the people of Cleveland are upset? What about the good folks at NCL? All the drama leading up to their new baby’s arrival and it doesn’t even get the front page. The anticipation of a basketball player making a decision took those headlines and the actual decision will not share the headlines anytime soon in Miami.
America Cruises takes the whole cruise experience to an entirely different level. Why waste your time going around the world when you can learn about the many different facets of life from the good old USA? This cruise line company can give you the experience that you crave for as you get to choose over 9 destinations in the U.S. including Florida, Maine, and Hudson River. And you don’t even have to spend that much or go through the trouble of traveling with hundreds of passengers.

I am writing this review while on my return flight to the U.S., having just spent the past two weeks (14 nights) aboard the Celebrity Eclipse. Launched in April of 2010, the Eclipse joins Celebrity’s award-winning family of “Solstice-class” ships, which currently includes the Celebrity Solstice, the Equinox and, in 2011, will also include the Silhouette. So, although I will try to maintain complete objectivity, I must admit that I boarded the Eclipse with very high expectations. Fortunately, with only minor exceptions (as later noted), I was not disappointed.
Planning any cruise holiday involves many decisions and one of the most difficult is choosing your stateroom type and location due to the overwhelming variety of choice, at times over 20 different categories on a ship! Selecting a cabin type is as personal as deciding where to cruise and which cruise line and ship to book. Price needs to be considered and there can be significant differences between categories dependent on size, layout, demand and location.
