2 nights on Solstice

[OzKiwiJJ]

Yeah but no ice cream to go with it. I bet.

 

Is gelato acceptable?

Nope, needs to be the real thing.

We really liked Cafe Bacio. It's on one of the upper levels of the atrium, unlike the International Cafes on Princess, and seemed to have a nicer ambience.

 

On our cruise they were using Bistro of Five as overflow seating for the cafe but now that Bistro on Five is now Sushi on Five that may not be possible.

Mrs Gut loved Cove Cafe on Century and the Aqua Spa Cafe.

its not till next October so no hurries but...

 

Never done a Two nighter.

 

Never been on Solstice.

 

So, any hints it tips?

 

Pack light.

Explore the ship early and find the nice nooks to get quiet spots to read and sit.:D

Get a nice spot up at the sunset bar lawn chair and grab some of the blankets.

Café Al Baccio is a great place to sit and socialise with plenty of treats and good coffee.

We normally go on an exploration as soon as we board, top to bottom, fire to aft.

 

Even ships we have been on before.

Mrs Gut loved it on Century. So I suspect we will spend a bit of time there.

Hope there is no fires aboard.:eek:

For sail Away??

 

If the weather's nice enough, yes. Otherwise go to the Sky Lounge.

I am sure you will.

[MicCanberra]

For sail Away??

 

Yes for sail away or just for watching the city lights as they come on depending on the timing.

Thanks mate, love being out on Deck as we leave Sydney, especially around dusk.

Good advice but weather is an issue, Café Al Baccio may suit better.

Phat phingers:D

The Sky Lounge is awesome for sailaways, we tried to get up there when leaving most of the NZ ports. Some, like Tauranga and Dunedin, had very narrow channels and it was fascinating to see the ship manoeuvering through them from such a vantage point.

 

Cafe Bacio has relatively limited window space, compared with the Sky Lounge, although part of the Sky Lounge was cordoned off for the Elite/Suite Happy Hour on our cruise.

They don't do that on embarkation nights, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Please let him on, even if it is to be confined to quarters, otherwise we will never hear the end of it.:p
