vations including The
Lawn Club which offers real grass on the
high seas, a two-storey wine tower in the
main restaurant as well as some Celebrity
Cruises firsts including 10 dining venues and
more staterooms with balconies.
I am delighted to say that Celebrity
Cruises did not overhype Celebrity Solstice,
she delivered more than promised. Every
experience on Celebrity Solstice is designed
to make the guest feel special and
unhurried, which has certainly paid off.
I would compare the launch of Celebrity
Solstice to that of Royal Caribbean
International launching Voyager of the Seas
in 1999, both of these ships broke the mould
and delivered on the promise. Ultimately the
Solstice Class will make Celebrity Cruises a
global player in the cruise market.
There is always a premium to pay when
quality is assured and I can confidently say
that the premium is worth every penny.”
