Is there an area with loungers to get sun (or shade) that is not by the pool and open to non-suite guests? Is the Spa Cafe open to everyone, or just AQ or suites? Deck 12 (pool deck) and 14 (one deck above the pool deck). Spa Cafe is open to all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would always go there to avoid the crowds in the Oceanview. Do not know if it a recent change, but Spa Cafe was closed on embarkation day on current Solstice cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so much information, sometimes I find it hard to follow and process since I have not been on the Solstice yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserchuck Posted April 12, 2023 #106 Share Posted April 12, 2023 There are more loungers all around the ship than I have ever seen before. Saw some today in front of the gym on deck 12. With more loungers, seems to be a lot less chair hogging, except right around the pool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted April 15, 2023 #111 Share Posted April 15, 2023 We have really enjoyed our voyages with Captain Theo "the voice from above". He is very personable and was always willing to stop and chat with passengers are he made his way around the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashville15 Posted April 16, 2023 #112 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Thinking of doing Solstice for a Hawaii to Vancouver cruise next April. We will be on Equinox in 4 weeks, so want to book onboard to receive lower deposit and greater OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was Theo. All the Greek Captains we’ve cruised with have been charming, visible throughout the ship and warm. None of them seek the limelight.

39august Posted April 20, 2023 #119 Share Posted April 20, 2023 There are public showers in the gym locker rooms. Wine should be in your carry if possible. Otherwise, your luggage may end up in the "naughty" room, delaying cabin delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a full size toaster, an electric cooking pot, extension cords and several other items. When we boarded, security noticed the 6 foot long iPad charging cables in our carry on, and asked us to open it so they could look at the cables. Once they saw it they were just charging cables, they let us through with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baynanno1 Posted April 26, 2023 #124 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Thanks for your willingness to answer questions while cruising! I enjoy reading real books on sea days and utilised the Library on Eclipse in December. 😊 Is there still a Library on Solstice and how well is it stocked? I have just read the Library has been replaced by cabins on Millennium Class ships. ☹️ Also just read Edge Class ships were built without a Library. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
