Loving cruising and wanting to go to Hawaii and the added bonus of Vancouver was amazing!
Landed in Oahu end of April with warm air and palm trees! Glad to get here after over 12 hours of travel and changing planes from the East Coast. Hubby upgraded us to First Class so not so hard to take the trip:)
Hawaii and Oahu were more than I imagined! Good food, friendly people, upgrade in our room ...
Celebrity is one of our favourite cruise lines. The staff are always friendly and so helpful. The facilities on board are all good. Our cabin was as expected. The captain is one of the best we have experienced on all the cruise lines. The entertainment team were excellent especially Paul the cruise director, who was a very talented performer in his own right. We ate breakfast and lunch mostly in ...
Travelled from the UK to Japan via KLM and had 3 day stop over in Tokyo at the Mercure Ginza prior to boarding the Millennium. An ideal hotel location for tourism, shopping and transport both from Narita airport and to the Yokohama Osonabshi cruise terminal.
We pre-arranged 2 tours with Grey Line Japan during our stay in Tokyo a full day Tokyo grand city tour and a combined bus and train trip ...
It seemed like a good idea at the time we selected it. We had thoroughly enjoyed our Trans-Atlantics but this was different.
We were Back-to-Backers and although both cruises were full, it seemed as if 3 times as many people were on this one. Everything was crowded and finding a seat in Oceanview Cafe was difficult if not impossible. Service in the dining room at lunch was VERY slow. ...
Prior to the cruise, we spent several days in Tokyo and Kyoto. We found very spacious hotel rooms for three adults at convenient locations. (Hotel the M Innsomnia Akasaka in Tokyo and Vessel Hotel Campana Kyoto Gojo in Kyoto)
Since we had a lot of luggage, we hired MK Taxi to take us to Osanbashi Pier for approximately 17,000 JPY, for a 45 minute trip.
Embarkation was fairly ...

Thought it would be a good way to visit a variety of destinations, but it wasn't that way.
The bed was very uncomfortable, and after several complaints had the deck manager inspect it and agreed to have a one piece overlay placed over the mattress to try to give some comfort.
Bed was suppose to be a queen, but was two singles put together. A foam overlay was first placed on top after the ...
We just completed our trip, sailing on the Solstice for a 19 night transpacific cruise. This was our 42nd cruise and DW says it was the best vacation we have ever taken!
We live in Mesa AZ and started our adventure on April 4, 2018 flying on American to Sydney. The flight from LAX to SDY was almost 15 hours on a beautiful 787.
We arrived in Australia at about 7am. No problems on arrival ...
A cruise ship is a small city, and 3/4 of the people are all living in the same hotel (the other 1/4 are crew, and live on the lower decks). Depending on what you've reserved (a room versus a suite, a window versus a balcony), it's a hotel life. Attendants make your bed and change your towels, space is at a premium, there's a small safe in your closet, and the mini-bar has a few drinks and snacks ...
We always wanted to do this cruise and visit Hawaii.
Unfortunately our time in Hawaii of 5 days was not enough time, you definitely need a full week or more. Hawaii is great. The weather was great and so was our accomodation at the Hilton Embassy Suites.
Celebrity Cruises are great as was this one. The service and staff are amazing and very friendly. No faults there.
However I will say ...
