Celebrity Solstice - 10/3 to Eastern Caribbean

[njguys]

Any GLBT cruisers on the Celebrity Solstice on 10/3-10 to the Eastern Caribbean? My partner and I are on the ship with my family and we'll need a GLBT break from them at some point. :)

Hey there, I will be on the Solstice for the October 3-10 sailing. I'm on vacation with my family as well so I will definitely need a GLBT break now and again :) Would love to meet up for a drink or something.

[njguys]

Sounds great; we'll have to plan something! We're arriving in Fort Lauderdale from Dallas on Saturday for a little R&R before the cruise. Looking forward to the vacation!

[jasonsmith2]

definitely - do you know if Celebrity has a regular meeting for GLBT? I have never sailed Celebrity.

[njguys]

We're new to celebrity as well but I doubt they'll do anything unless we plan it. We'll have to make plans to meet in the martini bar on night one.

[jasonsmith2]

That sounds good to me. Just let me know what time works for you guys on the first night. Looking forward to it. Only 2-weeks to go!

We've sailed Celebrity many times and there have always been informal FOD gatherings as often as nightly. The events aren't highlighted in the daily program but are posted on an event board near guest relations. Have fun, you will love Solstice, a remarkably beautiful ship.

Hi Guys....I too will be traveling on the Solstice from Oct 3-10th!!

It's my first time on Celebrity but have taken many other cruises!

Never been to Puerto Rico but I have been in St.Thomas before.

Hey all!

My partner Sebastian and I are travelling with two friends of ours and SO looking forward to it!

We're from Toronto and mainly cruised with RCCL so we're hoping there's a similar FOD posting/drinkies thing...

Our cruising companions are Gary and Ernesto from Dallas - we'd met on a cruise out of Galveston about a year ago so we're well prepped for a fun time.

Looking forward to meeting you all! :D

 

Cheers,

Eric

hey everyone. looking forward to a great cruise next week! as eric previously stated we are all traveling together for the cruise. we also get into ft. lauderdale the night before for a little r&r. so what time should we all meet on sunday night at the martini bar? we have 2nd seating so we could probably get there around 10:00 or earlier, like at 7:00. any thoughts?

 

i noticed that the other nj guys live in dallas? where? we are in oak cliff.

[njguys]

It's becoming a party. Looking forward to meeting everyone. We're also from Dallas - Colleyville actually. See you in the martini bar on Sunday night at 10 if not sooner.

[njindallas]

where in nj are you from. i am originally from matawan and old bridge.

[njguys]

Our name is a bit of a misnomer, although we did live in NJ for two years from 2006-2008. We lived in South Orange at the time. We should probably rename ourselves TXGuys. :)

I am planning t5o go solo on this ship at the beginning of January and I wonder if they have FOD meetings. My experience is that both RCCL and Celebrity do not print it any longer on the cruise program, unlke Princess or Holland America.

[njindallas]

the don't print it, but there will be a community board near the front desk that lists meeting times and places. just check that and you will most likely see a meet and greet setup. if you don't, just do it yourself!
