Celebrity Solstice Cruises Answers

You can pre order wine via the American Celeb website only, under the GIFT section. Only a few wine types are available. We ordered a Merlot [6 bottles] We paid in advance at £18 a bottle. You can drink it in the dining room. The same wine was $36 on the ship and had gratuities on it! So quite a saving. There was no problem on the ship in getting the wine but keep the receipt. Check paying gratuities in advance with your TA. This is usually much cheaper. We preferred the ship's tours as we found taxis v expensive from the dock area, if there are more than two of you then taxis will work out cheaper. Drinks on board are expensive, but then the pound has fallen so much that they would be. We loved the ship and loved the cruise. Have a great time.

Neil's advice, as ever, is good! I'm not sure how much Celebrity charge to shove you on their coach with everyone else (and bear in mind that if your flight arrives before the ones they've booked people on, they'll make you wait), but it's worth your while asking the cost and then comparing it with booking the private car (I recommend Zelit limos if you do), as it will meet you off your flight and whisk you straight off to the ship with no hanging about in the heat.

Thanks to all for the advice. McCarthy

As you say Bosscat Neils answers are good as ever, but you are also very good at answering these questions yourself.........Wendy

Seconded, Bosscat of Troy is one of my favourite authors. ....Neil
