Background

This was our first cruise on Celebrity Solstice and our second Caribbean back to back. We have been cruising for over 22 years and have cruised the Caribbean, South America, Asia, Alaska, Mediterranean and the Panama Canal sailing on assorted cruise lines and ships, 26 cruises in total.

The first cruise was in the Eastern Caribbean for seven nights and the second cruse was the Western Caribbean also for seven nights. Both weeks started and finished at Port Everglades. The weather was excellent with only a couple of sun showers and no rough seas. Being May it was shorts and t-shirts during the day. Temperatures felt worse in the Western Caribbean vs. the Eastern Caribbean, we suspect the trade winds in the East made it seem cooler. Read more
