We began our cruise experiences back in early 2001 with Celebrity aboard the Summit on a 11 day Caribbean cruise. That cruise set the standard for us as first time cruisers. We then did several more on different Celebrity ships culminating in a 14 day Baltic cruise on the Constellation. That was, and still is the highlight of our cruising experience. Since the Constellation we tried NCL and certainly enjoyed the laid back atmosphere, so much so, that we locked ourselves into a promotion that kept us away from Celebrity until this cruise on the Solstice. As the title of my review states, " Good to be Back"
