Springtime re-positioning and seasonal promotions bring us another high value transatlantic crossing at a relatively modest price. Add overnight stays in two desirable ports 1) the Azores, which is increasingly touted as a new port-of-call and intriguing landscape, and 2) Dublin, and you have a near-perfect formula for an Eastbound crossing.

Today on the
Celebrity Cruises website you will find the 15 night crossing on the Eclipse departing April 15 from Miami priced from $1,299 in veranda and $1,149 ocean view. There should be discounts for seniors, military, and first responders.
Automatically added gratuities add $14.50 per day or $217.50 and "taxes, fees and port expenses" add another $111.95. The "out the door price," as we would say to a car dealer, is $1,478.45 per person in ocean view double occupancy. You may be able to negotiate on-board spending or other amenities through a cruise agent or online.
