promenadedeck Posted March 12, 2008 #51 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hello all, For those of you already booked on the Solstice, was there still any vacancies left at the time you booked? I heard that it's sold out or almost sold out and I got my TA to put me on the waiting list. Do you think I have any chances for getting on board? Thanks.

emjsea Posted March 12, 2008 #52 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hello all, For those of you already booked on the Solstice, was there still any vacancies left at the time you booked? I heard that it's sold out or almost sold out and I got my TA to put me on the waiting list. Do you think I have any chances for getting on board? Thanks. Have you sailed with Atlantis before? If not, I think you will be out of luck, if you have it's going to be timing. Those of us that sailed Liberty in January got first pick. Then they gave a chance to those that did the March Carib cruise that ended this past weekend. They say that on March 15th, all past Atlantis cruisers will be receive an email notification that the cruise is available to them (I guess if it didn't sell out on the last cruise) and the free for all will begin! :D Sorry I don't have better news.

promenadedeck Posted March 12, 2008 #53 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks - every bit of info. helps. I have sailed with Atlantis before, on the Radiance of the Seas in '07 and am curently booked on the Atlantis Serenade of the Seas '08. All the other cruises have been with RSVP,the last one being on the Zuiderdam two weeks ago. I also booked the RSVP Eurodam for '09, but the Solstice ship and itinerary look more attractive to me, especially the three sea days. So I'm thinking of switching if I can get reservations.

emjsea Posted March 12, 2008 #54 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well fingers crossed for you! Hope you can make it. Also, it wouldn't hurt to give them a call and find out. We had originally booked next year's Freedom, but wanted to change our minds. I thought we'd have to wait until March 15th, but my husband told me to call and ask. I did and they switched us. You never know until you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonBud Posted March 13, 2008 #55 Share Posted March 13, 2008 did they let you pick a stateroom when you called? That's one of the things about booking while on a cruise, being able to pick your cabin. My husband gets seasick (luckily the two cruises we've been on he hasn't) so we like to be able to pick a room higher up and in the center of the deck where it's supposedly more stable. Although I have to admit that on the Liberty in January, I didn't get sick, but I noticed the ship rocking quite a bit. Much more than the Serenade the year before.

emjsea Posted March 13, 2008 #56 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yep, they let us pick from the available staterooms. We had the deck plans open on the computer at Celebrity's site and used that while talking to the Atlantis rep. Took all of 10 minutes. Very easy. We don't get sea or motion sickness so I don't notice it much. I do like being "rocked" to sleep at night though. The Freedom in January of 2007 was much rockier than this year. At least it was more noticeable at the dinner table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRSNDC Posted March 13, 2008 #57 Share Posted March 13, 2008 BostonBud- Motion is less noticeable on the LOWER decks midship. I think you should try for Category 2B on the Continental Deck. If that's not available then try Cat 2B on the Sunrise Deck. -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonBud Posted March 13, 2008 #58 Share Posted March 13, 2008 We like being up higher. We are in a CC stateroom on the Sky Deck right in the middle. Size of room and balcony outweighs the motion plus we've never experienced bad movement in our rooms. We'd wanted to be in a suite but the suites were being held for the March 08 cruise and we didn't want to be on the deck right below the pool deck. Those parties can get very loud.

frquarterguy Posted May 12, 2008 #59 Share Posted May 12, 2008 For anyone waiting to book this cruise, it has gone on sale to Alumni. Sign up soon, rooms seem to be selling quickly. At this time, it is not listed on the website, so you will have to call Atlantis or your travel agent to get the info..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjsea Posted May 13, 2008 #60 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Ok, folks. Let's wake this thread up. After all, we only have 10 months left to get to know each other before the big trip.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRSNDC Posted May 14, 2008 #61 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Just in case y'all haven't been following on the Solstice thread on the Celebrity boards, here is the latest webcam picture of Solstice from the German shipyard. She is still in dry dock. (Click pic to make it bigger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemspec Posted May 14, 2008 #62 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hey guys! I am so excited about Solstice. This will be my fifth Atlantis cruise by the time I get there. I am travelling with best friends from Phoenix and Denver in side-by-side balcony rooms on the 6th floor. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjsea Posted May 14, 2008 #63 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We are on the 6th floor too :D 6264. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveinNJ Posted May 22, 2008 #64 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The BF & I are also now booked on the 6th deck - 6199. Hope the ship does make it to Curaçao, the stop there on March '07 cruise was great! But whatever the ports it is about the experience on Atlantis that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WehoAtlantis Posted June 16, 2008 #65 Share Posted June 16, 2008 :) Hi all, we just booked a balcony at the back or aft of the ship. We are really looking forward to exploring the Solstice! Mike and Paul West Hollywoood, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBrown1003 Posted July 6, 2008 #67 Share Posted July 6, 2008 If I remember right, that'll be my 7th Atlantis cruise, 14th cruise overall. I've done 6 with RSVP [incl. QM2 transatlantic] and will be taking my first public cruise in November 2008....though it's with about 100 people attending a gay bowling tournament.

BostonBud Posted July 21, 2008 #70 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It seems they just emailed the change out too. I'm excited about Labadee, we went there on the Jan 08 cruise and really enjoyed it. They also went to Curacao in 07 but we ended up missing the Tdance which everyone really seemed to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRSNDC Posted July 21, 2008 #71 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The new itinerary is fine by me. It sounds great. And I love Labadee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBt Posted July 29, 2008 #72 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It seemed FOREVER for Atlantis to open up sales to the general public which they did last Wednesday. I was pleased that my bf Nick and I were able to get a sunset aft cabin on deck 6...in fact all those aft-facing balconies on deck 6 were still available, despite the Solstice being already 90% full. The stylish decor and spa focus really sold us on this cruise...I'm sure the male company and warm breezes of the Caribbean will add to the ambiance and enjoyment.
