Re: Celebrity Eclipse Iceland & Fjords review June/July 2015.
Those prices for shore excursions are eye-watering, towny. I often think P&O's excursions are expensive for what you get but if I am on a Saver fare I just take it as swings and roundabouts and it does mean we don't have to worry about 'missing the boat'. I wonder if the presence of wealthy Americans meant they could literally charge what they liked although I am surprised there were no Celebrity accessible tours. I would have thought Geiranger and Iceland would be grateful for the trade. Do you think this was due to low take-up on account of a lack of multilingual commentary?

Foxy, just to be clear Celebrity's prices for ordinary accessible tours are much less than those prices for private tours. The one we took in Alesund was only $79.50pp (=£52pp), and was actually a regular panoramic tour, but utilizing a coach with accessible access, which is something Celebrity frequently offer, but P&O rarely seem to. We booked this on board and were able to utilise our OBC, if we had prepaid for the tour I think I would have struggled to drink my way through that amount of OBC.

Nice review and a pretty similar itinerary to the one we did with Celebrity Infinity in June last year.
The 'seawall' was a real blessing for those with speed of foot.
