Get ready folks !!

 

We all read about so called "superliners" that sail from Australia.

 

Everyone who wants to experience what the rest of world calls "superliner" can do so now, by booking the Celebrity Solstice.

We see that they also have a one night sampler when it first arrives in Sydney in Dec 2012.

 

Any guesses as to how fast that will sell out??

Had a look at the Celebrity Cruises Website for this one nighter.

 

Departs Sydney 8pm Sun 9th Dec 2012 & arrives back in Sydney 6.30am Mon 10th Dec 2012.

 

Below is a list of the inclusions.

  • Shipboard accommodations
  • Ocean transportation
  • Most meals
  • Some beverages
  • Most entertainment aboard the vessel.

Has any one ever done a one night cruise before?

I've done one before on the Rhapsody. I've also done a few 2 night cruises. They are a lot of fun. The majority of people are there to basically have a blast/party. There is a lot of drinking and the dance floors are packed till the wee hours of the morning. ;)

Gidday again Guys...

 

We have not often stuck our nose into the Australian forums, because everyone sailinng on the Oz based ships seem to know what is the best for them....

 

Not going to say much more now, but hope that people can open minds to the international protocols and expectations..

 

Most of all....

 

Enjoy :D

Have a great day

Hmmm -- looking at the prices shown in Debsta's link, I started to get a bit excited. Until I realised that almost all of those cruises will involve air flights and hotels extra to the cruise fare. Of course, that is not uncommon if you want to get away from the Sydney-Sydney or Brisbane-Brisbane "normals - and there is no way around that.

 

The one thing that will prevent me from trying her out is that she is another one of these ships whose stern is taken up by balconies - a definite NO-NO in any ship for me.

April 2013 - this was the repo I looked at Shiona, but I thought it would be too many passengers for too many tender ports.

 

From memory, MSC Poesia was a similiar size and I remember thinking I was pleased it didn't have tender ports, with so many passengers.

Hi Marion we have decided to do the Barcelona - Sydney sectors instead of the Hnl one from what i can see we will only have 2 tender ports - Bali and Yorkeys in 44 nights....happy with that.......if anyone's interested in what goes on during the day i found some current Celebrity Today dailies for the Solstice at:
