Solstice vs. Liberty of The Seas

[mgg42]

Hi all!

 

35y/o veteran cruiser, but first time solo cruiser. Looking for a 7 day R&R to recover from some major burnout!

 

Trying to decide between RCI Liberty of The Seas, and Celebrity Solstice.

 

Ports of call are basically equivalent.

 

I am happy dining with my table mates in the main dining room, and I'm also content dining solo in the buffet (or even Muranos or Chops or the equivalent if possible). I have never cruised alone, but I travel alone frequently.

 

I will enjoy the pool, the fitness center, the casino, the bars (of course!), and may take in some of the entertainment. I don't lose sleep over missing belly-flop or hairiest back competitions.

 

I know this is EXTREMELY subjective, but would you have a strong preference one way or the other?

 

Surprisingly, Solstice is a good bit less expensive.

 

Thanks!

I've been on the Liberty and loved the ship such a great atmosphere and so much activities beauty of a ship as well and the entertainment was phenomenal.. All the shows were great and the ice skating show was just fantastic... One thing to definatley do is do the 70"s Street Party..

 

I havn't been on the Solstice but I'm sure its also amazing... I dont know best thing to do is maybe flip a coin

Are you looking for an active vacation or something a little more elegant or spa-like? Checking out the Roll Call threads of your prospective cruises may also be helpful. You really can't go wrong with either, it's more a matter of just the right fit for your needs.

 

And yes, the Solstice is amazing. :)
