Hi Everyone !

 

I was happy to see the excellent response. Please keep letting us know if you have any interest in a Maiden Voyage Group sailing.

 

A lot of things remain to be seen, such as... when Solstice's debut will be, her itineraries, how long will her sailings be ? where her homeport will be located etc.

 

I will try to get these questions answered. However, we may be many months away from these answers. Let's try to keep this thread going. As soon as I get any details, you will be the first to know :)

I think the first cruise would be in Europe. If it starts late 2008 it might be a transatlantic.

Oh No!! I hope you aren't right, but it does make sense. darn....:(

OH I would love that! I'm definitely interested in a maiden voyage though. I've never been on one. I've never been on a ship anywher near that large either. Mercury is the biggest ship I've ever been on.

We're defintely interested. We'll be on the Infinity this December, 2006 on the Millennium in April 2007 and open for 2008.

Andy,

 

I'd love to go on the maiden voyage!

Why would any one want to do a maiden voyage? They are problematic to say the least. Especially problematic are those of new class design.

 

It takes a good 6-9 months to get all the kinks worked out on new designs.

 

I've done maidens, but thankfully mostly as an invited guest. I would never again pay for one. The last one I paid for was Millie.. and it was cancelled!

 

No maidens and no sailings immediately following a major renovation!

[ExRockyMountainGal]

Count us in for the Maiden Voyage (or any other time)!

 

Kathy and Ike

[Nick Needs To Know]

Bumping this up so we can get more people interested!

[Buckeye Geo]

Sounds like a great idea. Count us in...

I was on the maiden voyage of the Infinity and loved it.:D It was delayed by a month(thankfully my DH and I have flexible schedules).:rolleyes:

 

Because of the inconvenience, we were offered the cruise and air at 2 for 1. What a saving!:p We had booked an oceanview cabin. When we got to the pier we found out that we had been upgraded to a balcony.:D This being our first cruise, we were awed.

 

At night, on returning to our cabin we received many nice gifts. The nicest was a piece of crystal celebrating the Infinity's maiden voyage.

 

Everything was fun. We were excited to be the first to do many things. It felt very special. I would love to be on the maiden voyage of the Solstice!!!

I think X-fans are very ready for a new ship. That's pretty classy of X to kudos you for a 1 month delay. Heck, the house I built was delayed by 6 months and it was only a couple of thousand square feet. The only thing I got for the delay was a higher intrest rate from the bank. LOL!

I am sure ALL Celebrity Fans are VERY ready for a new class of ship. From the amount Celebrity is spending, I am confident they will be very special.

 

IMHO, Celebrity is VERY late to the newbuild party. They should have placed orders a few years ago. This way, we would be enjoying some new ships sooner instead of later.

[di143]

I'll second that statement! We were on the Connie when she was brand new. Thrilling!!!

I hope one of the new ships would do the Caribbean in the summer.

... we're going too!

When we were on the Connie, I think it was her third trip after the power pod problems, we went ashore in St Croix for the day and when we got back the ship was flying a flag from another country. They had changed the painted registry on the back and her blue hull was being painted white. A little "twlight zoney". New ship/ new look/just new....Wierd feeling!

[Andy]

I hope one of the new ships would do the Caribbean in the summer.

 

I hope so too. With Solstice & Equinox not being able to sail the Panama Canal, we have a reasonable chance of her being a year round Caribbean ship, at least for the first season. I am sure much of that decision will depend on how stong Europe Cruising will be in 2008. If Europe stays strong, she may wind up being 1/2 year in the Caribbean & Summer in Europe. We will have to wait and see.

Hi Andy and everyone,

 

Count me in as well. I would love to meet all of you and sail on a maiden voyage of a brand new Celebrity ship. I am so ready for my favorite line to introduce these new ships. I bet we can all get a great rate.
