Thread: Celebrity Solstice or Azamara Journey

I am thinking of booking a Transatlantic Nov. 2010, I cannot decide between these two ships. Can somone give me so information. I wish I could go on both but I can't. I will be booking an inside cabin so if you have info on this as well.

Dorene, I have sailed on the Solstice and the Quest (the Journey's sister ship), and both of them are delightful. It would be hard for me to recommend one over the other. It all depends on what you are looking for in your cruise.

The Solstice is definitely a BIG ship, but she doesn't feel that way. We were on her for a 1 week cruise, so can't tell you what kind of transatlantic activities she'll have. With our short cruise, we didn't get to finish exploring before it was time to disembark. The specialty restaurants are wonderful and the shows we saw were top notch. We did find that the storage in the cabin was a bit tight, but the bathrooms made up for it all. They are the largest we've seen. This is a very elegant ship.

On the Quest we did a transatlantic cruise. We had a sky suite, so can't tell you about other cabins. We LOVED this cruise. It's a small ship and before we disembarked, we knew a lot of the staff, and could recognize faces of passengers. The ship was able to go into ports the big ships couldn't. We didn't lack for activities during the crossing and it was fun to have lunch with the staff and entertainment crew. The theater is more like a cabaret with tables right up to the stage. This is also a very elegant ship.
