We are in our mid-50's, and have taken over 20 cruises with several different cruise lines. We have sailed with Celebrity before, but never on a Solstice class ship. We booked this cruise while sailing on the Azamara Journey last year, so we got what I consider to be a good price, based on the fact that I have checked for a price reduction frequently.

We flew in the day before, since we are coming from the Northeast in the middle of winter and stayed at the Sheraton. The hotel was adequate, certainly nothing spectacular. The hotel staff encouraged us to sign up with one of their shuttles to the port, and told us that cabs would not be available. We did sign up with them, and as we were watching the madness of passengers loading luggage on the van my husband spotted a cab, which we took to the port with no issues whatsoever. We arrived a the port at 11:00 am, and were enjoying lunch by 11:55am. Check in went smoothly, no lines at all. We were in AQ class, which helped. There were several people waiting to board the ship and we walked by all of them because of the AQ-- NICE!!!

Our room was ready at 1pm as promised. I don't particularly like the storage over the bed but, that being said, there was more than enough storage for the both of us. The bathroom was really nice and had lots of storage, and a great European shower!!! The room was very clean and well appointed.The ship is beautiful! I love the layout, with lots of nooks and crannies and bars and lounges. The pool loungers have nice pads on them, very comfy and nap-worthy! We never had an issue finding a lounge chair at all.
