This pre inaugral cruise on Reflection was a competition prize offered by Celebrity and won through Cruise Critic. We were extremely excited to be one of the first to be sailing on this brand new ship and accepted that the format would be short and maybe all the features would not be up and running - how wrong we were with regard to the latter.
This two day cruise was primarily an advertising ...
I was lucky enough to be invited on the 2 day cruise which launched the ship. I have sailed on Eclipse and Equinox so am familiar with this class of ship.
Some new areas were great, others not so!
The Porch looked wonderful, like a little bit of New England, it is in the place where the Lawn Club shop used to be so has fabulous views, I think it will be very popular; as will the Lawn ...

Having not sailed on a Solstice class ship we were ...

Got on the ship and was greeted by a line of employees, all wearing white gloves!! They help you with your ...
Celebrity Solstice Review
It could be argued that the new Celebrity Solstice is the prettiest ship at sea. I doubt that you would find many who would not agree. But there are a whole lot of steps along the way that make Solstice unique. Celebrity has done a great job focusing on the total cruise experience and beyond.
It seems that new builds these days all have a flashy signature ...
Solstice Naming Cruise
Nov 14th to Nov 16 2008
We feel honored that Celebrity invited us to attend this very special event.
We left early on Friday morning on a 3 hour drive to Port Everglades to board the Solstice at 11 am.
