![1231b[1].jpg - Brits sailing out of Southampton on the new Celebrity Eclipse this April will be delighted to find a few home comforts onboard -- if you consider mushy peas and steak and kidney pie to be home comforts, that is. Celebrity has unveiled a host of Brit-friendly aspects to the new vessel, sister to Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Equinox. Menus have been tweaked, entertainment tailored to British tastes and onboard lecturers and "enrichment" made more appropriate to a U.K. audience.Dishes like Beef Wellington, cod in parsley sauce, Yorkshire Pudding and mushy peas are being added to the "always available" items on the menu and there will be more vegetarian choices and Indian dishes.Slightly more off-the-wall is the curry and raisin gelato in Gelateria, the ice-cream bar. Perhaps the most welcome feature of all for the tea-loving British passengers will be electric kettles and tea bags in the cabins, which appeared to much acclaim when Royal Caribbean first brought Independence of the Seas to Britain. If these international guests are hoping to sample real British food, though, they could be disappointed. One thing absent from the menus is good old fish and chips.](1231b[1].jpg) |
