Heading to Miami for Celebrity Eclipse Western Caribbean Cruise

Our bags are packed and the dog/house sitters will arrive shortly. We head for Miami in a few short hours. We can't wait to get out of this cold weather!

Since we're only spending a few hours in Miami tonight, we're staying close to the airport at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. I'll let you know how this hotel ranks for a one-night pre-cruise stay.

We're eager to board Celebrity Eclipse tomorrow morning in Miami. Our last Celebrity cruise was aboard Equinox and we love that ship. Eclipse though has the benefit of a new restaurant called Qsine. It's been getting rave reviews and we've already made reservations to dine there twice during our seven-night cruise.

We're also looking forward to the itinerary itself since it calls on two places we've never been: Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico and Roatan, Honduras.

We'll be blogging from the ship, Internet willing, and will bring you news from our ports of call and from the ship itself. Stay tuned for more Celebrity Eclipse news!
