Celebrity Solstice Review
Could not have asked for a better cruise.

Additional details
Having been to New Zealand quite often for business and skiing, this holiday was more about the cruise than the destination. We did really enjoy the ports of call though.
Boarding in Sydney was well organised, though there was quite a wait at 11:30am when we got there. Should have dropped the bags and gone to the pub, but we where too keen to see the ship. Once on, and not having access to our bags, we set off immediatly to see what the ship had to offer. From the roof top lawns to the bars and the pool area it was all brilliant and so clean and well maintained. We had a light lunch from the Bistro out the back on the Oceanview Bar deck looking over The Rocks
It was fun having the overnight in Sydney's Circular Quay. We got back off the ship later in the afternoon and played tourists around The Rocks. They had set up a seperate entrance so as not to interfere with the people still boarding.
Cabin Review
A nice cabin, this one has the bed nearer the balcony rather than the lounge. Loads of storage. Nice and central in the ship so minimal motion and easy to get to restaurants etc. Big balcony. Only minor down side (and this is being picky) was that we where above the life boats and the forward and rear wing cabins blocked a bit of view front and rear. But not really a big deal. The cabin attendants where fantastic.
