We will be there!

Hi Peter! I'll be on this cruise with my partner, Chris. Our friends, Terry and Cameron, will also be joining us as well. It will be my 4th time on the Summit and Chris' second time. This will be my first cruise over 7 nights in over 20 years and I'm looking forward to all of the sea days!!! -John

I normally sail in AQ with a PP beverage upgrade on all of the ships but we got a fantastic deal on a SS on the Solstice for our next cruise and didn't hesitate to book it. X then offered a very reasonable Move Up to a CS which we bid on and won. I have zero regrets and certainly won't be upset about missing the Retreat Sun Deck. It's really up to the individual and what is important to them. Cheers!!

I fondly remember the Zenith days back when X's only other ships were the Meridian and Horizon. It really was a fantastic product, regardless of what type of cabin you were in.

We are also heading to Mazatlan on our cruise in early February. Definitely seeing how this will play out.

Thank you for sharing your story and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm planning a burial at sea for my aunt on an upcoming cruise and your story has helped put my mind at ease.

Haha! Thank you so much for posting that link. I guess I should have searched a little more. Taking my first ever December cruise so I wasn't sure how soon they made it festive. I'll keep it a secret from my partner as it will be a nice holiday surprise for him!!

Any insight on when they begin to decorate the ships for the holidays?

I took my first Celebrity cruise when I was 14 and I'm almost 44 now and still enjoy it. I do go to the Silent Disco but I'm also perfectly happy listening to acoustic guitar at the Sunset Bar or the entertainment in the Rendezvous Lounge. I enjoy dinners at Tuscan Grill but I also like the buffets at Oceanview Cafe. I stop by the Martini Bar daily but I can also sit and enjoy a nice glass of wine in Cellar Masters. I've already been on the Apex and Equinox this year and had a great time on both and I'm sure I will have a great time on Summit next week. Bottom line is I 've grown up with Celebrity Cruises and I still enjoy because I can find various things for the different moods I may be in (or I can sit on my balcony and do absolutely nothing at all).

I’ve stayed at that Hilton many times with work. There’s a place called Bites in the courtyard behind the hotel. It’s adjacent to the 24 Hour Fitness. They have breakfast sandwiches, etc. There’s also Omelette Inn on Pine St. which is a 10 minute walk or so.

I’m Elite and my partner is not. Never had a problem with him accompanying me to any events I’ve been invited to. It’s a very nice perk of the program.

Thanks for your review. My partner and two of our friends have booked a Sky Suite on the Solstice for a February Mexican Riviera cruise and are looking forward to it. I really hope they have that same massage/facial special onboard for that week because I know we will all book that!!!

Thanks for the informative, well-rounded review! I have my first cruise on Solstice in February and I'm looking forward to it.

I live on the East Coast now but got an amazing deal on aft Sky Suite for a Mexico cruise in February on the Solstice. Combined with an astonishingly good deal with Flights by Celebrity, I didn't think twice about booking and making the transcon flight. I figure after a few glasses of champagne on my balcony all of the windows will appear cloudy anyway. Cheers!
