Sail Date: Mar 2013

This was our 24th cruise, but only the second one with Celebrity, previously sailing with Holland America (8), Cunard (4), Disney (4), Princess (4), Royal Caribbean (2) and Celebrity (1). We have not sailed with Celebrity in a while and this was our first time on a Solstice Class ship, in a Concierge Class balcony room, 9270, travelling without our teens. Nice big balcony because of its location, but otherwise the layout within the stateroom is similar to others with verandas.

Perhaps it's because we haven't experienced Celebrity in a while but my wife and I would say that this was one of our most memorable cruises, ranks up there at the top when we cruised as a family with Disney, on the Queen Mary 2 to the Caribbean or our 20 day (two 10-day B2B) cruise on Eastern and Western Mediterranean itineraries on HAL's Noordam.

We arrived in Miami the day before. We rented a car from Thrifty and they have a free shuttle from the Rental Car Centre at 3900 NW 25th St., near the airport. Although there is a Miami port location for pick up or drop off, in reality they shuttle you to and from the airport location. We stayed in a new Starwood property called "Element by Westin" at 3525 NW 25th St, near the airport and down the street from the Car Rental Centre, but easy to get lost due to construction in the area with multiple detours. The Element room had a small kitchen, essentially a studio apartment, beautiful bathroom, and best of all, free breakfast with a variety of wraps, oatmeal, fruits, cappuccino, espresso, juices, etc. I think the free breakfast for all guests paying the standard rate, regardless of Starwood programme status, is the first for a Starwood property.
