FIRST VISIT TO CELEBRITY'S "SOLSTICE"!

As invited guests of Celebrity Cruises, Linda and Dorsey will be sailing on the inaugural cruise of the Celebrity Solstice!! They are VERY excited for their adventure coming up this week, and I know are looking forward to sharing their experience upon their return.

The new Celebrity Solstice has a half-acre lawn of real grass on the top deck, and is scheduled to cruise the Eastern Caribbean. The seven-night itinerary includes port calls in San Juan, St. Maarten and St. Kitts. The Solstice will continue with Caribbean itineraries through Spring 2009.

The lawn on the top deck isn't just for show! Guests will be able to play bocce and croquet, practice putting and picnic on the grass with wine and cheese. The ship also has two theaters, a casino, spa, shops, lounges, bars and clubs, five cafes and bistros, and four specialty restaurants in addition to the main dining room. A "Hot Glass Show" will feature master glassblowers from the Corning Museum of Glass in upstate New York. For kids ages 3-12, there's a "Fun Factory". while teenagers get their own space, the X Club.

Check out the pictures below and more will be posted after the inaugural cruise!
