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 Airport Crowne Plaza Hotel and used their park and ride facility. This is a lovely hotel, where we were able to leave our car for the duration of our holiday. We got the shuttle bus from the hotel to the airport at a cost of £8 pp return. It's convenient, but the buses only run every 30 minutes and can be busy! We flew to Miami International Airport with British Airways, and although we had no real complaints about the flight, we much prefer Virgin Airways, who we feel look after you much better than BA, but that is just a personal opinion. We were met by Larry's Limos, which we had pre-booked on line, and were pleased with the service we received. They took us to our hotel in Hollywood Beach for a 2 night pre-cruise stay.

Cabin Review

AquaClass 1

Cabin A1

AQ 1625 - this is a lovely cabin and very quiet as it's under other cabins, not the pool. The bed is near the bathroom. The sliding door wardrobe is next to the bed and there are two storage cupboards/boxes over the bed, which can be slightly awkward to reach. There are a few small drawers under the TV and a large basket under the bed which we used to store our shoes! Our suitcases stored easily under the bed. There are American and European sockets on the vanity unit plus an American style shaver socket in the bathroom. It has a reasonable sized balcony with an overhang but this does not restrict the view and the sun reached us in the morning or evening. There were two lovely chairs and footstools plus a small table on the balcony. A wonderful bathroom, with an amazing shower that has proper shower doors and a little bar to help ladies shave their legs! There is plenty of storage space in the bathroom. This cabin is not near any crew space and not too far from the lifts.
