Returning from the Caribbean just a week ago now, I find I'm longing for an excuse to book our next cruise aboard the Solstice! Our third cruise in 18 months, we finally made the jump from Royal Caribbean to Celebrity, and found it met all of our expectations.

A little background: We're two friends from college, both in our early 30's, and while we're always mistaken for a couple, we've found that we're just great travel partners! We've both taken 6+ cruises, spanning the range from Carnival to Regent, with our 'standard' having been Royal Caribbean to this point. Both active individuals, we tend to look for a balance between beach time and activities, and always appreciate meeting new people while traveling, and have been lucky enough to make some great friends along the way.

After fare changes pre-cruise, we upgraded from a Veranda stateroom to AquaClass. Excited about the added amenities, we most looked forward to dining in Blu, and use of the spa facilities. That, along with preferred embarkation and disembarkation, we thought we were already living the life of 'Modern Luxury'!

Cabin Review

Sky Suite 1

Cabin S1

Great room, with the exception of the noise from above. The room is located directly below the Oceanview Cafe and constant noise from the galley can be heard from about 6am until midnight. Be prepared to be woken unless you're a heavy sleeper.

On the other hand, the room is quite large and specious. The balcony is fantastic - double the size of standard Veranda rooms, and located under the deck 14 overhang shading from direct sun.
