18 NIGHT FRENCH POLYNESIA CRUISE

This was to be the trip of a lifetime for my wife Carolyn and me. The anticipation had been building since we first booked on board the Celebrity Century, back in January 2012, while on a 12-night cruise from Auckland to Sydney. It is always worthwhile checking out the special future deals that are available while on a cruise! Sometimes there are real bargains to be found. Carolyn's brother Calvin and his wife Narelle had booked on this 8th of April cruise almost a year earlier and had been encouraging us to put it into our schedule as well. How glad we are that we did, as it certainly turned out to be a wonderful experience that will long be remembered...and hopefully repeated at some time in the future, too!

The 8th of April started with us making our way to the local railway station near our home, which is a little south of Newcastle, and overlooking Lake Macquarie, in NSW. We took the train to Sydney, with a change of trains at Central Station to take us to Circular Quay. This exercise took a little over 2 3/4 hours. We were then able to admire the Solstice docked at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, shining beautifully in the sunshine, with the Harbour Bridge as a backdrop. What a wonderful sight to see…and to realise that the day of our dream holiday had finally arrived!

Cabin adequate with enough storage for us. Loved the bathroom and shower screen. We didn't need a more expensive cabin when we spent so little time in it. Would book one of these cabins again.
