COTW Posted May 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2014 We recently enjoyed an long cruise with Celebrity - touching soil in New Zealand, Papeete, Moorea, Bora Bora and Hawaii. Our reviews are quite long with images and are broken up into: Overall ship review + video Bay of Islands Papeete & Moorea Bora Bora and Hawaii coming soon. Worth a read for anyone who has never cruised before. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingGatorGirl Posted May 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Great review, loving it! My family and I our considering this for 2016. The one thing I am worried about are the seas for the two long stretches. How rough was it on the stretch of sea days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QE2_Fan Posted May 8, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Gorgeous Photos, Great Review - feel like I'm on the cruise with you...but hold on - get a grip - i WILL be on the cruise soon enough!!! We are bring Solstice back to OZ in October from Hawaii. Cannot come soon enough!! Solstice looks a beautiful ship, the ports of call are straight out of a dream ... Do tell me though - in Bora Bora when you swim with the rays and sharks, can you touch the sharks? Do they get as close as the one in your photo - or was that a bit of a zoomed shot .. lol like from about 50 meters (safe shark distance!!) away!! Thanks again for your efforts and sharing your memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workstocruise Posted May 8, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Your pictures and posts brought back memories of our cruise. We sailed round trip from Papeete on Oceania Marina from April 5 to April 19. While waiting to disembark, your ship pulled into port and docked next to us. We liked it so much we are booking her to Alaska in July 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawyer_boy Posted May 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Finally able to add our last post from our Celebrity Solstice cruising. HAWAII (a very brief visit and introduction) :-) You never mentioned what you did in Auckland? I see the ship review post, the Bay of Islands then Papeete and Moorea but wondering how you spent the day in Auckland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COTW Posted May 12, 2014 Author #15 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Sadly, I didn't get as much time to experience Auckland as I would've liked so I didn't feel like an authority to write on it this time around. Hopefully I'll get another opportunity. New Zealand is such a magical place. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
