We went on the Celebrity Solstice to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The cruise departed from Sydney and return to Sydney which meant we could just catch the train to Circular Quay and board the boat.
We booked Concierge class and were on Level 10, slightly Arf of mid ship. It took a bit longer than we expected to board the ship. We were given an approximate time for boarding and assumed that passengers would have been staggered throughout the day but it appeared that most people like to get on as early as possible.
We wondered around the ship for about half an hour in TOTAL AWE, then there was an announcement to say all staterooms were ready. We found our bags already in our room.
We were very happy with our cabin staff. They were always polite when we happened to see them and usually address us by name which really made me feel special. Our bathroom was always spotless and I got a laugh out of the way they folded our beach towels into a snake or sea creature.
