Just returned from Eclipse cruise to South America

Just returned from Eclipse cruise to South America and Antarctica - firstly the experiences of seeing Antarctica, Tierra del Fuego, Port Stanley , Puerto Madryn - ice bergs, whales, albatross, penguins etc was amazing and is an experience which could have been enjoyed from any cruise provider. This review is about Celebrity Eclipse re Celebrity Cruises. We have been with Celebrity 7 times and have noticed a steady decline - in you put a rotten apple in the barrel it lowers the rest of the apples to the bottom. This is what is happening to Celebrity Cruises - they have lost that “Celebrity Appeal”. We have always travelled Aqua or Retreat because we consider ourselves more discerning travellers. This last cruise - not the fault of the ship itself or the staff. Rather the total lack of appreciation there are those of us that do not “stuff ourselves” morning to night or “drink” morning to night”. This entire cruise was dominated by the needs of the “greedy” masses. There was no consideration for those of a more discerning disposition who paid more to be treated better. If this was a “sunshine cruise” both Aqua and Retreat guests would be lined up with the “beached whales” “drinkers” “eaters” and smokers - there was no where to go to escape the “grazers” - sorry but I say it as I see it. Celebrity are slowly being dragged down to the lowest denominator i.e those that pay the least and eat and drink the most. My advice - don’t waste your money on Aqua or Retreat you are not treated any differently. In summary - Celebrity Cruises has totally lost its CLASS I say it as I have been treated.
