Celebrity Eclipse Buenos Aires to Rio

Just returned from 7 days cruise on Celebrity Eclipse from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro. Pre Cruise arrangements couldn't be faulted. Boarding process smooth. Onboard - cabins clean but one major downside, there were no charging points near bed in cabin. They were concentrated at the table next to TV. Show quality was good. One major fault that needs correcting is Celebrity's inability to recognise Global Money Visa Debit cards on their onboard charging system. This really needs to be fixed, luckily I had a credit card with me but it meant incurring extortionate unnecessary forex charges. Also be very careful with buying the drink package. If you like cocktails, there are very very few included in the classic package and you'll be charged extra! Ports of call could have been more varied. Sao Paulo is industrial and has very little of interest so tours concentrate on the Coffee Museum which quite frankly was a bore. We missed Punta Arenas due to bad weather and this was substituted with Ilhabela which has nothing of interest within a short distance of the port.
