Well hello RS neighbor!
I could not have summed up this cruise better than Ms. GP already has. I was following their travel saga on the runway at SFO, while I was on a weather delay due to hail and winds. It wasn't until she posted a pic and her cabin number that I realized we were next-door neighbors. I did the ultimate fan-boy faux pas when I leaned over the balcony to say hello.
My husband and I were dedicated Crystal fanatics until the bitter end. Our experience on this cruise in RS 1118 and the food/service everywhere onboard, especially in Luminae, have quickly moved Celebrity to the top of our list. Even though the Solstice is somewhat dated in decor, she is immaculate, and the crew is really proud of their ship. I have to give a special shout out to our butler Glenn, cabin attendant Komang, and Ada in Luminae...and the lovely Mar in Michael's Club. (I sent my regards to Mar from Abby Dancer and Iain! She would love a dinner with us Bay Area folk when they overnight in SFO). Oh, and of course, all the guys at the Martini Bar for my French 77s (a great twist on the French 75).
Most of all, we met the most outgoing, friendly, fun people onboard, and hopefully some future cruise buddies. If any of you are reading this, hello to Temecula, Albuquerque, Perth AU,
Portland, Biloxi and of course GP and Bob.
