We just got off the Celebrity Solstice and had an amazing time! We have been on 3 cruises prior to sailing on the Solstice but also traveled with 2 new cruisers on this trip.

Embarkation:

We arrived at the port in Ft Lauderdale at around 1 PM. As we live in Ft. Lauderdale, we used an off-site parking area, Air and Sea Parking, which provided great, quick shuttle service and a less expensive means for parking compared to the port ($56 vs $105). Embarkation was swift and organized; there were numerous workers who were helpful in guiding us to the correct spots and we were able to easily get bag tags (as we had changed our room at the last minute and needed new ones). We were on the ship exploring within 15 minutes of arriving at the port. Our rooms were ready immediately and our luggage arrived nearly 1 hour later. Read more
