We were on solstice Jan/feb. The bottled water was local water. It seemed to change from port to port.

I’m just off Solstice. It was available at all bars except the restaurant and World Class bar. Here is the Elite info from our cruise. Have a wonderful cruise

Great thread! We are cruising in a couple of weeks. We are elite and this will be our first cruise without a package. It’s just my husband and I, if we were with friends (if they weren’t elite) I think we’d need to take the package. It’s a 12 night cruise with around 6 days off the ship on excursions. I really don’t think the package would be worth it. We plan to take a bottle of wine on board each. We bought a few bottles of wine in the Black Friday sale for dinners. The other nights we will avail of the 20% elite wine discount. We will use the HH each day that it’s available. For the rest of the time, we will pay as we go. I think it will work for us as this cruise is more about touring. A new experience for 2 passengers who have only ever had the premium package!

Many thanks for such a wonderful review. We board Solstice in HKG on 27th Jan. I’ve enjoyed every minute of your trip! Wishing you a safe onward journey.

I think it’s a good compromise. it’s nice to have some choice with a hark back to ‘the old days’ a few times through the cruise. May make it feel like more of an occasion. This gives good flexibility for choices at 5-7.

Oops I meant to write ‘beat’ not bear! I’d no glasses on this morning!

Can’t bear that view though! Wow!

It was Mario Kucko on 28th sept sailing

I disembarked Journey on Oct 8th Captain Kresimir Korona Staff Captain- Andro Milat Hotel Director - Tomasz Jadczyk Cruise Director - Darren Lynton Food & Bev - Mario Kucko Assistant Cruise Director- Grace O’Donnell-Clancy We had a great cruise and crew were wonderful.

Sorry to hear this! We have Solstice booked for January. We’ve only done the MDR on one celebrity cruise, we weren’t impressed, if it’s worse than that- oh dear! We are going to book a dining package but it’s a shame that it’s gone that way. I’m glad to hear the crew and cabin were good. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your cruise.

I received the email and added it online, however, when I log back in, it has disappeared. I’ve tried it a couple of times with no luck. I receive 15% loyalty discount so it’s no biggie.

We met Darren on Quest in March 22. He was training under Amanda. He was wonderful, a really lovely person with a great attitude. We are on Journey at the end of September, shame we will miss him.

This was what was offered on the premium drinks package. They’re were four of us having a glass at dinner and the waiter set the bottle down on the table, as we asked him to take a picture of us.

I was on Silhouette in May. The Champagne was very elusive! The brand was Eugene 111. I’ve added a picture of it. This was on our table, so I had to zoom in and screenshot. Excuse the picture quality.

I disembarked Silhouette yesterday morning in Southampton. We had breakfast and left the ship just before 9. We were a party of 4 with luggage so we got a taxi. We had booked the 9.45 to Heathrow and arrived at the station around 9.15. Both embarkation and disembarkation were exceptionally smooth and quick on our cruise, which was fully booked.
