We don't understand either. We do know that information relayed out of Celebrity is not always consistent. Our plan is to try again tomorrow. We may keep the TA option in our hip pocket.

Your hip pocket is more than likely your direction.

The days of the 2009-2012 Canadian Dollar strength is history. :D

Sorry but they are winning. I won't go to Europe anymore. And there going to keep winning unless the Turks do something about it.

Weak opinion and I absolutely disagree that "they are winning". :(

Will not be cancelling any of future European cruises.

Aqua rooms located under the pool deck, just can't wrap my arms around that one.

Blu is certainly not worth such a poor cabin location. And that's an upgrade??

Security liked this, never smelled smoke again after this pic.

Probably your issue, more than likely it's User Error. Never had a problem with my 12 Celebrity cruises.

Solstice by far is the most beautiful ship in Alaska. It's been true the last 3 summers and will be once again in 2016.

After the first night on Solstice 2 weeks ago, I witnessed on two occasions guys not being allowed at dinner into the MDR with shorts.

I'm all for Celebrity enforcing no shorts at dinner in the MDR. :cool:

SHIP: Solstice

CABIN #: 1068

DECK #: 10

CLASS: C2

AREA: Mid-Ship - Starboard

BED NEAR: Balcony

QUIET?: Very Quiet

BALCONY VIEW: Great View

BALCONY SIZE: Normal

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: No noise, vibrations or creaks. One of the quietest cabins experienced. Centered between mid/aft and mid/fwd elevator banks.

Aqua can be a fun to try, but we prefer the MDR over Blu. Especially if you like larger tables, more space and higher ceilings. Blu is a bit too tight for our liking.

Really like the S Class ship but I'm not a fan of the hump/bump cabins. Due to vibrations from 2 past cruises on mid/aft hump/bump on S Class ships, I prefer cabins between the 2 elevator banks. It seems to me the vibrations are from either the elevators or possibly from the open design feature which runs from deck 3 all the way up to the pool located on deck 12.

Before Celebrity a few years ago changed things up it was real easy to make Elite. We did it in 4 cruises without ever being in a Suite.

I agree with the earlier poster that the Celebrity Captains Club perks easily exceeds the competition. Time fly's that's for sure, after our next cruise in 3 weeks we will move to Elite Plus.

Has anyone sailed the Solstice end of April in Hawaii. We are booked April 2018 and just read that it is Golden Week in Japan and the ship could have a charter on it. Apparently it is a big week in Japan and tourists flock to Hawaii.

 

This cruise ends in Vancouver and is 12 nights.

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Well you have 2 years to figure it out.

We are as well are on the 2016 Hawaii to Vancouver Trans-Pacific. And yes, your perks are very typical as expected,,,,2 years out, equals mark it up, to mark it down big time down.

Those that are sailing on this cruise in 2016, as others might be able to give you a glimpse of what it could be like in 2018. Stay tuned.

Let's give it a chat in 6 weeks.

Let's just face it, Blu is seriously overrated.

As another poster stated, the tables are so very uncomfortably right next to each other, and all without the dining experience being all that special or different than the MDR. Regarding the ambiance and atmosphere of Blu, it is seriously lacking. The MDR is heads above.

Take away the overrated food of Blu, this concept is nice, but just doesn't add up to the overly charged amount and higher amount.

Without a doubt go with UDP over the disguised value of Blu. :cool:

Unfortunately I've never heard someone moving to another level until the cruise is completed. The cruise prior would have been a good time to book accordingly to a higher level like Aqua vs. Balcony would have given you more points per day to get above 300 points.

I like the move Celebrity has gone with doing overnights.

My next cruise in a few weeks on Solstice has an overnight in Maui. Customers have been asking for overnights with good reason.

Surprised to hear X doesn't carry this item especially since their parent company RCL does. Guessing corporates thought process doesn't jive real well with Fireballs or Jager Bombs. ;)

Makes sense, thanks for the info! Side question now.. I just booked my 3 choices, but my wife (major PITA :p) wants to do Le Bistro instead of Moderno. Cant figure out for the life of me how to cancel Moderno and choose Le Bistro instead. Can I do this online? :D:D

Previous online changes require you call. Since she's a PITA have her make the call NCL.

It's good to try something different. Just back from a AmaWaterways Rhine European river cruise.

Can now speak from experience, and yes, it will be a very long time before I go on another river cruise. Feel now like a river cruise is a bit like the minor leagues. Enjoy the choices, options and venues. Like the Ocean and the big boats. "Hello NCL Escape".

Never read any reviews except from the very sexy SuiteCruiser. :cool: :cool:

If your drinks are measured, then you are getting exactly what you paid for.

Never had a eye to eye weak drink at the bar. :D

Traveling to France in 7 days, I'm all over it. !!!! :D

I agree!

A lot posters suggest "Go to the Buffet".

 

We always like to dress up for dinner anywhere, but we are all guests not the "Clothing Police". It is up to the cruise line to enforce who does and doesn't get into the MDR. I think everyone knows why they don't.

 

There is an old quote "Don''t judge a book by it's cover".

+1

I like the way you roll.

For Europe 2016, It's out there to GET. "ALL 3", not just 2, of the Big 3.

Bev==Grats==OBC.

Sorry, if NOT, YOU missed IT. :confused:

The "Go Best", Promo is the Minimum ,,,,, not SO Good.

I was surprised to read this today regarding "designer jeans/jeans that don't have holes, rips or tears".

 

Did policy change?

 

I thought all jeans were forbidden in the MDR period.

Maybe you have been sleeping through formal night in the MDR?? zzzz Must have been, my dear, out of touch as usual.

Been Wearing Designer Jeans the last 5 years on Celebrity on formal nights.

No, not going to explain what designer jeans are.......you wouldn't have a clue anyway.

I agree, it is a bother like it's a big deal or something, I just empty it out myself. :cool:
