We had the experience that it had shown on the app, then the day of our reservation it was removed and then the ship received some at a port and we had it for our second reservation. Good Luck. 

Last week I had the lamb chops for lunch in Luminae on Solstice and they were outstanding. 

You cannot rely on the app being accurate for that day. I have found the daily menu to change on day one of the cruise. I always try and book my specialty dinners around Luminae and I can't always count on it. Be flexible. The menus don't usually change, but the day can.

Thank you for your review. We have a Solstice cruise in February. I was sent an email about contacting Zora as the shoreside concierge, but no response after I have sent two emails for requests. Did you have the same concierge and any issues getting responses? Thank you

Saw one on WOS Nov 13-20.

I would not for LAX, and it is risky for LGB and SNA. We are doing 1330 for LGB.

I used the "indoor walk" for my outside running and it worked fine.

It is all about what you can afford and what you value. For us it is so worth it. Our jobs are extremely stressful, and this helps so much 🙂

General Comments (offer details, etc.)  actually 2 Villa’s available for $8000 over what we paid for the RS. I would prefer the Villa for the location. Suite prices have skyrocketed in the future so this would probably be my only chance to have a Villa. I have limits to what I will pay J and this is pushing it.

I understand. I am a nurse and healthcare workers still have to wear a mask and enforce this to all that enter our hospital. We do not have any Covid patients in our hospital! Everyone needs an escape from this. Enjoy your cruise.

Thanks for posting

Yes we also opted to spend an extra night at an airport hotel. I just hate jumping right back in to the stress of flying.

I am a Conundrum red fan when on Celebrity.

Only a week ago I carried through two kits in my carry on and no issues with TSA.

Thank you for posting this. Great video.

I called the 1-800 number and they updated my information as vaccinated. They answered quickly and the whole conversation maybe took 4 minutes. I also checked that my next cruise had correct information.

Thank you for your honest post. I have worked in surgery all of my life, but wearing a mask in public is like I never escape my job. Many do not understand this. We go on cruises to escape. I am vaccinated, and I understand. Just sayin' 🙂

We sailed on the Edge in a Celebrity Suite. I am 5'3" and will probably never sail in a Celebrity Suite again because of that tub. It is too bad because the room is lovely. We have a Royal Suite for the Apex next May. I also dislike the tiny balcony on Edge class for the Celebrity suite and the Royal. My Apex cruise will be port intensive so the balcony will not matter. 

I am looking forward to vicariously living through your cruise. I realize you will not need the luggage valet, but would appreciate if you could post any information if they are still offering it and what is the earliest flight they service. Thanks and have a fabulous time. 

When you check in on the phone the first thing will be to scan your passport. You just hold the camera over your passport (the page with your info/picture and it will upload; next is the picture-just take a selfie and it will upload, then pick your preferred boarding time.  Submit and you are done. You will need to go back on the day before to answer the health questions. Hope this is clear.

I am also a red Zin drinker (Rombauer) and have not seen  “The Seven Deadly Zins” brand on The Edge or any Celebrity ship. They do carry a red blend Conundrum which I find similar and pleasing enough substitute.  And there is another brand of Zin, but I did not care for it. Good Luck.

On the recent transatlantic they had entertainment at least three times in The Retreat. I believe on chic nights.

I have enjoyed following your review and your pictures are amazing. I am curious if you enjoyed the Wellington tour. I am trying to decide whether to do the tour or just walk around on our own. This will be in 2 months. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

First welcome home brother. I also didn't retire from the military but always get the veterans discount. I always take a copy of my DD 214. CYA. I've never been asked to provide it when booking a cruise or at the embarkation terminal. 

Same for me. I have never been asked.
