Two Celebrity Cruises ships, head to head — specs, amenities, and what each one is genuinely better at.
Celebrity Eclipse (2010) is the newer ship by 1 year versus Celebrity Equinox (2009).
| Spec | Celebrity Eclipse | Celebrity Equinox |

| Tonnage | 121,878 GT | 121,878 GT |
| Guests (double occupancy) | 2,850 | 2,850 |
| Guests (max) | 3,145 | 3,145 |
Trophy marks the ship that wins each row. Smaller capacity = more space per guest.
Most autumn cruise sales inflate Guest 1 fares. We audited 10 live campaigns to find the 5 deals from $69/night that actually save money.
Celebrity added two new loyalty tiers above Zenith. Reaching the top one would cost roughly $7M in suite fares to unlock a cruise worth $12K.
Three balcony cabins, same week, three cruise lines. We pulled real quotes — the cheapest brochure was the most expensive bill.
