Our third time here this week. Very good. Luminae did not disappoint. Thank you Pande. The ship looks great which surprised me as I had read so many comments about the condition of this ship. She looks great. The crew worked extremely hard at making sure that we had a great time. They’re amazing. For anyone booked on this ship, please feel at ease that it will be a great experience. Jim, I hope that you and Iain have a great second week and thank you for this great thread. Safe travels to all of our fellow guests on your trip home. Was really a joy to sail with you I agree with you 100% I was really expecting Solstice to be a bit rough around the edges from some of the reviews that called her a Rust Bucket. In my opinion she is looking much better than some of the ships that have gone through the Revolution. Safe travels home. I can't wait to get back to warm sunny skies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something we’d like to try I didn't see the menu but a guest I spoke with said it was a bit disappointing. Everything was served on a tray at one time in lieu of in courses. It has disappeared from the next cruise. I'll see if I can find out more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venicecruiser Posted December 11, 2022 #859 Share Posted December 11, 2022 If you are thinking trying a luxury line, I suggest Seabourn or Regent. I've been on both and they are much better than Celebrity . Claudia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched you sail by earlier, hoping the rain stops before we go to board. Thank you, again, for all of your posts. It was fun to sail along in anticipation of boarding today for two weeks.

We normally do breakfast in Luminae on debarkation day. I have to have my last morning almond croissant and coffee with Bailey's before departing the ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t miss one breakfast there, pastries were excellent, gained about ten pounds, but have lost most of that since last week. Did you try the potato waffle thing ?

Lastdance Posted December 11, 2022 #873 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Enjoy cruise #2. We are in the Tahoe area and the snow is crazy here; beautiful to look at, but lots of shoveling too! We need the precip, so snow is good. Would I rather be cruising? You bet I would! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember last year we took an Uber from our hotel to the port in Lauderdale. Before they implemented surge pricing it cost about $20-$25. With surge we had to pay $80. Highway robbery.
