This was our second cruise, our first cruise last September was a 10-day cruise on the Queen Mary 2. The Solstice 14-day transatlantic cruise turned out very different from our intial expectations. Celebrity's sales pitches/brochures and passenger revues led us to form a high level of expectationson.
Unfortunately the QM2 is a hard act to follow, which greatly influenced our views and opinions of the Celebrity Solstice. Net result of these expectations we believed that Solstice class ships would equal or ever better the QM2 augmented by the fact that Celebrity Solstice class ships are rated at 5.5-Stars vs. the Queen Mary 2 only 5-Stars.
