The interiors are very interesting and unique. The dining room is very retro 1960s cool.

Is it so difficult to post a link instead of stealing my bandwidth by hot-linking my pictures?

So I feel that SOLSTICE *is* much ado about something very interesting, far more so then any other ship we have seen lately except perhaps AIDA!
Congratulations to Celebrity for a job well done!

Greetings Ben.

I must say if you like warm and fuzzy, Celebrity is probably not for you. Celebrity ships tend to be more cutting edge, and sometimes that means a little cold in areas as that is the style today. HAL is definitely more warm and fuzzy.
The casino is ugly, but they need a place to get the bad ideas out of their system.
I am more excited to be on the decade old Galaxy in 2 weeks which is the progenitor and still beautiful.Mercury is my favorite of the 3.
Solstice really shows how the Farcus formula is stale and tired.

She does give the feel of a grand ocean liner in a modern way, and I think you get the feel that you are on a ship in almost all the areas unlike most of the cruise ships today.
2 areas I don't like are the purple casino and the disco but you have so many alternatives.....
But my pet hate is the rounded beds - as twins they do not work and a bed next to the balcony, does not work for me.
Other than that Bravo.

Yes you are right in the aspect of warm and fuzzy thats me warm and fuzzy. And HAL oh well nobody cane denied that I'm in love with that line. That said and I said it in my previous post I love here Dinning room. A room designed in the great tradition of main dinning rooms on board our beloved Transat liners (HAL, CGT etc.) Like here exterior and inn that I'm turned 180 degrees from the first ugly renderings. Oh well she looks much better then the RCI vessels.
Greetings from warm and fuzzy Ben.

yes and no, i think the interiours of this ship areimpressive, nicely done, and in certain areasabsolutely new and imaginative
but for the lack of deckspace i'm almost sure that this ship is to me: A BAD WEATHER SHIP!i think you can probably enjoy and have a nice cruisebut with the sun out and finding deckspace this shipwill feel VERY VERY crowded
imagine 2850 passengers trying to find a waythrough, a possible deckchair ...??!!
it will be interesting to learn about reviews when she will be sailing down the Caribbean, i think she's better of in "bad weather" areas...
regardsb. Joe
