Sail Date: Nov 2016
Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 2A
We sailed out of Miami November 27, 2016 for 14 nights.
This was our third sailing on a Solstice class. The Eclipse still has fuller spaces in the Sky Lounge and the Lawn club, while the Reflection reduced them to construct luxury suites and private cabanas. Given a choice we will opt for the Eclipse in the future.
We stayed one night pre-cruise at the Pullman Miami Airport. They provide a free shuttle from the airport, and we shared a taxi to the port the next morning. Embarkation was at a standstill and poorly organized. Later we were told that due to Thanksgiving weekend fewer Immigration Officers were available to process passengers on the six returning cruiseships, resulting in late clearance for the new passengers.
