Celebrity Solstice, widely heralded as the most exciting ship entering the market even before it launches, has introduced three additional sailings for cruisers to enjoy during its inaugural season this year.Celebrity Solstice now will enter service with a Thanksgiving cruise, November 23, 2008, three weeks prior to its previously announced date of December 14, followed by two additional 7-night Caribbean cruises. Each new seven-night cruise -- November 23, November 30 and December 7, 2008 -- will present the same itinerary, departing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, with visits to San Juan, Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; and Basseterre, St. Kitts. Acknowledging that some guests booked on Celebrity Solstice's original maiden voyage of December 14 may wish to switch to the new maiden voyage, Celebrity has established a two-week rebooking window from today through June 12. During that time, guests booked on the December 14 sailing will have the opportunity to transition to the November 23 cruise without penalty, in the same stateroom or suite as originally booked, at the original fare. Guests encountering air-change fees as a result of opting to switch will be reimbursed for those fees up to $100 per person, provided acceptable proof of fees is presented to Celebrity by January 31, 2009. Bookings for the November 23 sailing will be open exclusively to guests booked on the December 14 cruise until June 12, when the special two-week rebooking period ends. Bookings for the November 30 and December 7 sailings open today. Guests on every sailing of Celebrity Solstice will experience a series of brand-defining, first-in-the-industry features onboard, including a half-acre Lawn Club with real grass, a glassblowing show and studio developed with The Corning Museum of Glass. Guests also will experience unrivaled dining venues offering trendsetting cuisine and design, and widely varied entertainment, including new theater productions in partnership with Poet Theatricals. The 2,850-guest vessel also will have staterooms 15 percent larger than those on previous Celebrity ships, 90 percent of which will be outside, and 85 percent of all staterooms will have verandas. Celebrity Cruises offers comfortably sophisticated, upscale cruise experiences with highly personalized service, exceptional dining, and extraordinary attention to detail. Celebrity sails in Alaska, Australia/New Zealand, California, Canada/New England, the Caribbean, Europe, Galapagos Islands, Hawaii, the Pacific Coast, Panama Canal and South America. The line also offers unique cruisetour vacations in Alaska, Australia, Canada, Europe and South America. Noted for four of the top 10 "Top Cruise Ships in the World," as voted by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler (February 2008 readers' poll), Celebrity's current fleet will be joined by Celebrity Solstice in 2008, Celebrity Equinox in 2009, Celebrity Eclipse in 2010, and a fourth Solstice-class ship in 2011.

Jackie ..Princess is just now releasing the Caribbean schedule for 2009/10..and for October and November 2009... it appears so far 14 nights is the only sailing that is over a seven nighter and that Itinerary has it's embarkations from Barbados.. Just wanted you to know...

yw MaryLou.. i gotta tell you of all the public places on board Celebrity ships... Cova ranks in the top two as far as favorite spaces for me... the other is the buffet area early in the morning just before breakfast begins when everything is quiet...

And here is their response So as of today there is the "official word" ... tomorrow of course, it may change things...but as for today we have our answer! Joey

potatoe chips... namely frito lay classic chips.. and pop corn.. extra salt..

Congratulations!! My birthday is the 27th, my mom's birthday was the 11th as is the date of David and my anniversary... either one of those days will be acceptable to us...

lapels pins have been shipped for our supplier.....

The only time that happened to us was on our first sailing with Celebrity .. due to a pod or thruster or some sort of mechanical break we didn't get to Barbados .. they switch the port to a closer st Thomas..

Brookyln Bridge...

Welcome Aboard!!

Hi Gisane Glad y=to see you making yourself at home!! I am Joey, David and I live in Los Angeles!!

I agree

Welcome Aboard!!

one of the first things i do when planning a vacation if it is to be more than 500 miles away is to check airfare....Once i have that information I can then make a decision as to whether proceed or not.. once a decision to go is made I almost immediately buy air...so far the only air fare yet to buy will be for the Connie..and if things go the way I hope that will be courtesy of Frequent Air.. Fuel charges alone will not dictate our plans but major increases in air fare may....

Thanks for the clarification.. I was thinking 3pm eastern noon west coast.. so its 3pm in each time zone...

in spite of !!
