Having wanted to try the solstice class ships and take a westbound transatlantic and sail a new ship - November 2012 offered us all three of our wishes in one trip. We used the Celebrity Choice Air services which was great and quite reasonable. We saved almost $1000 per person doing this. We booked in July of 2011 taking advantage of a $250 discount offered to past passengers. Then in the summer of 2012 , the line offered reduced rates to veterans so we able to upgrade and get an additional $300 off our fare. From July of 2011 until the cruise we had a very active and large CC thread and booked many activities, transportation and excursions with folks on the site. It was great!

We flew into Barcelona the day before the cruise and stayed at a lovely 4 star hotel we have stayed in before. Unfortunately, while waiting in our hotel lobby for transport to the ship, a thief made off with my husband's carry on bag. He got nothing of real value but sure inconvenienced my husband as his meds were in the bag. Fortunately, he had packed spare in his large bag. So beware as pickpockets and thieves are the main occupation in this city.we talked to people who fared far worse than us losing jewelry, passports, credit cards, etc. They are really slick and good over there.

Check in at the port was horrendous with long lines that took forever before we reached the counter - and they had plenty of agents. Not sure what the solution is. Once on board, we stepped into a gorgeous ship. Our veranda stateroom was really nice - very large, lots of storage, oh so comfortable bed, and a shower to die for in the very roomy bathroom. I mean curved shower doors and a shower you could actually move around in with room to spare. The balcony was nice and large with lovely comfy chairs and a table. And of course, everything was new!
