My new Daughter in Law chose this cruise. She and my son were on their honeymoon and I accompanied with my other son. We had an amazing cruise. She had never cruised before but both my sons had taken a Carnival cruise years ago. She loved cruising. We all had so much fun. The ship was very clean and the crew went over the top to please us. I always felt very safe onboard. I think there were ...
Amazing......
This was our first cruise so we had no idea what to expect. When we arrived at the ship we smoothly were able to board. We then went to explore the ship. My husband is celiac so we wanted to find out what drink package would be best for him ( if there was even gf alcohol on board!). Everyone was so helpful! We then went to the buffet to talk with the chef go find out what he ...
If it wasn't for seniors (60 and above ) half the fine restaurants in the USA would go out of business in a week. Also 1/2 the cruise ships would be scrapped within a year. Seniors have the money and the time to travel at any time of the year. We have been on 4 Celebrity cruises and have no complaints, food was good to excellent , cabin and room attendants were superb. Embarking ( 20 minutes at ...
After two satisfying cruises with Princess, I was looking to try a different cruise-line. Our experience on Celebrity Solstice was very comparable to Princess.
Parking and boarding in Ft Lauderdale is simple and went smoothly. I parked at Park n Go and was on the ship within 40 minutes or so. Our 2 pieces of luggage arrived at our room before late dining.
With some effort, I was able to get a ...
We've been fortunate to have a great cruise experience on each of our 3 cruises. However, Celebrity seemed to offer a high class of service and provided a much more relaxed experience that either Royal or Disney. Maybe it's just because we are getting older and aren't looking for a party on our vacations? But even our 11 year old son thought that this cruise topped them all.
The ship was ...
Excuse this rather lengthy review, but I am going to try to include some of the 'other' details that people seem to want to know about!
Introduction - My husband and I are in our mid 50s and from the UK. This was our fourth cruise -- third with Celebrity and second on the beautiful Solstice.
Travel Arrangements - We drove down to Heathrow after work on 29th March and stayed in the Heathrow ...
Returning from the Caribbean just a week ago now, I find I'm longing for an excuse to book our next cruise aboard the Solstice! Our third cruise in 18 months, we finally made the jump from Royal Caribbean to Celebrity, and found it met all of our expectations.
A little background: We're two friends from college, both in our early 30's, and while we're always mistaken for a couple, we've found ...
My partner and I, both in our early 40's, cruised on the Celebrity Solstice from April 1-8, 2012 (and as a gift to them we brought our mother's with us). This was our second cruise with Celebrity, having cruised in January of this year on the Celebrity Eclipse. We were won over when we cruised on the Eclipse and were equally impressed with the Solstice. Celebrity gets it right - from the beauty ...
My family of 6 cruises frequently to Caribbean and more recently European ports. After achieving Diamond status last year, we decided to try Celebrity again after 14 years of focusing on our (at the time) small children. We loved Royal Caribbean but were tiring of the same menu year after year; and we had enough bruises from the Flowrider for awhile :)
Embarkation in Fort Lauderdale was easy, ...
We spent a couple days before our cruise playing golf and staying at Doral Resort and Spa. This facility has just been purchased by Donald Trump and will be refurbished, but it was great for two golfers who had this on their bucket list. We rented a car from Hertz, which leads me to my first tip. If you are renting, Hertz has a car return right at the port in the Crowne Plaza hotel parking ...
