Our pre-cruise we stayed at the "Outrigger on the Beach" in Waikiki beach we were able to purchase an upgrade to the Diamond Suite, which was a great room overlooking the ocean and Diamond Head. The hotel was directly on the beach. We had lunch at Dukes and dinner at Chuck's both were good. It was a great place to start our vacation.

Now for the Solstice, it was our 4th cruise on the Solstice class but our 1st on the "Solstice" Cons are: Embarkation was the strangest we have ever had in the 15 cruises we have done. It took us almost an hour to get to where we got our keys. Elemis Spa is no longer, the new company is Canyon Ranch Spa Club. The prices for treatments are much higher; the upkeep of the Persian Gardens is not being addressed. Steam room not very hot, the benches are sometimes too hot, some days music, some days not music and some days the music is too loud and they appear to be understaffed and not very friendly.

The changes to the Aqua Spa Cafe were not for the better. Very very small portions with even smaller selection and half of the menu items cost extra.

Cabin Review

The cabin was great we have sailed on 3 other solstice class ships and always get the same cabin. It is on the hump and has a much larger balcony.
