Who We Are Married couple in our forties with no children. This was our 6th cruise, our 4th with Celebrity. Things we appreciate the most when traveling are service, ambiance and FOOD.
Travel We flew into San Juan from NYC on the day of departure. First time we did this and probably the last. Our flight was delayed and while we made it to the ship in plenty of time to make our embarkation time, the anxiety it generated made this something to avoid in the future. Embarkation FABULOUS. From the time we arrived at the port to the time we were handed our glasses of champagne less than 20 minutes had elapsed.
The Ship's Common Areas In a word GORGEOUS. We were fortunate enough to be able to sail on the Celebrity Solstice during its inaugural year. While we were incredibly impressed with the grandeur of the Solstice, we do believe that the old world feel of the Summit is something that should not be abandoned. From the Grand Foyer to the Rendezvous Lounge to Revelations and Michael's Club we were completely awed by the elegance that was conveyed. The posts we've read that reflect on the signs of wear and tear on this "older" ship seem to us to demonstrate that perhaps some need to only travel inaugural cruises.
