Although we had done Transatlantic crossings twice on Cunard (each direction) we had never done a Cruise Transatlantic. But, we love the Solstice class ships and it was a great offer and itinerary from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale, with some interesting ports along the way.
Our cabin was the typical Solstice balcony cabin, no wasted space, but certainly comfortable with a better than adequate bathroom.
We were a party of four, with two single woman friends joining my husband and me. We had decided this was a good time to try the anytime seating for dinner and the first night ate in the area set aside.
This cabin was dead aft; concierge class. My husband chose this cabin because he liked to be able to see the view from Port and Starboard. That part was great. And, the bonus was the long walk to the cabin several times a day, when we compensated for the great food!
A typical balcony cabin; we were unable to figure out any other reason to choose concierge class in the future.
The afternoon canapes were uninteresting and not worth eating; the bottle of sparkling wine was flat dreadful and when I tried to get some help from the concierge my call was never returned.
While this didn't, at all, spoil any part of the cruise, it was a lesson learned. We wouldn't spend money for a concierge class cabin again.
