We just arrived home and cannot think of our cruise on the Solstice without smiling. This was our 8th cruise and first Celebrity. The embarkation indicated we were in for a real treat and it just got better and better. We were greeted with smiles and friendliness quickly and efficiently all the way. The ship was beautiful, spacious and clean. We were guided to the areas where lunch was served, along with tours, should we be interested. Of course the music was playing and a drink was offered. We were ready!

Our luggage was brought to our cabin early. That was a wonderful thing. We met our cabin steward, who introduced himself and gave us some pointers. Wonderful man, Paul Irving, who worked with another gentlemen. Together they were dynamite!

We requested a large table at the second dinner seating at 8:30 pm. We all introduced ourselves and met our wonderful waiter Yuogo and his assistant Lenny.(Leonard) We all had wonderful conversations and continued after dinner together. We all did our own thing during the day and each night we met at the table telling each other about our day and our experiences. We all left together after dinner every night, having a great great time. The wine stewardess, Anna, and the matre di were there to greet us, each evening, friendly and courteous. Our waiter guided us through every evening's selections and we were NEVER disappointed. Read more
