Captain Taso Kafetzis is the best captain ever – very involved with his guests. He kept us informed and narrated highlights of scenery points, etc. I overheard that he actually drove a tender to/from the port. I saw him at the pier socializing amongst guests. He participated in an evening show and did an excellent presentation on the construction of the Solstice – well worth attending to appreciate the magnitude in planning and building.

The ship is well maintained throughout. Decorating is towards contemporary design.

The library had complimentary books for loan and plenty of areas for reading or engaging in card games.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 2A

Cabin 2A

The stateroom (balcony) was very roomy- long enough that it had a full size sofa vs loveseat size. Plenty of storage in the main stateroom and bath area. The faucet over the basin was a bit annoying as it extended into the bowl which made it awkward to use when washing face, etc. Drapes were heavy enough to make the room dark, but sheers available also.

King-size bed had curved corners which made it easier to walk around since space is limited. Bed was comfortable.

Only one evening was there a folded animal towel. Later in the week though folded animal towels by the different attendants were on display on the deck.
