This was our second cruise on the Solstice and it is one of our favorite ships.
I must say up front that this was the worst embarkation I've ever encountered. We arrived at the port around 12:30 pm. The lines were extremely long. It took well over an hour to board. Part of the problem may have been that instead of passing out the medical questionnaire ahead of checking in, you filled it out at the check-in desk. Other than that, I don't know why it took so long.
Once on board, we were able to go directly to our stateroom, deck 6 forward. We immediately met our room steward, Derry, who took excellent care of us during our stay. Our room was your typical balcony room, small, but comfortable. We had a problem with the TV having a distorted screen. We called 3 or 4 times during the week, but could never get it corrected. Occasionally, when entering our stateroom, we smelled an offensive odor such as sewer. We were easily able to control our room temperature. The shower maintained a perfect water temperature. There was plenty of storage space.
