Just some background, i have been sailing Celebrity since 2000 or so and completely enjoy there product. I worked in the hospitality industry for 20 years running hotels so I know what goes on with crew and running a Hotel this size. This was my second cruise on the Solstice class and the silhouette shown brightly from crew to venue.

Embarkation Got to the port around noon was on ship by 12:30 was very easy and quick. Room of course was not ready so wandered around looking at the features and the venues.

My main priority when getting on was dealing with the specialty rest. I knew they had a package if you signed up for 3 or 5. This is not advertised that much but I did the 5 package and it was $139.00 pp. or $28.00 per rest. That being said it works much better then the $40.00 for individual restaurants. The package gives you 2 dinners in Tuscan and 1 each in Murano, Qsine, and Lawn Club Grill. I also signed up for the persian gardens package, my peaceful moments and relaxing time I set aside every day for myself. That was $199 I think. Read more
