Thread: Solstice Maiden Voyage - 12/14/08

We booked this cruise back in June, 2007 when it opened for Captain's Club members. We are very excited to be doing the maiden voyage - our last maiden voyage was the Century back in Dec. 1995. That was the first C-class ship and it was built by the same shipyard building the Solstice class. We are certainly glad that it is doing a Caribbean as we can enjoy the ship instead of hitting ports we have never been to before.

I am a little depressed. We just canceled our Solstice 12/14 cruise. Since it didn't come down in price from what we booked at when it was the maiden voyage (day bookings opened for Captain's club members), we just couldn't justify paying a premium price for what is now a non-premium cruise. So unless a fantastic deal comes up we have to wait over 400 days for our next cruise. This is the first cruise that we have cancelled.
Since we are retired, hopefully something will come up on the exciting deals before the Equinox - and the airfare won't wipe out the savings on the cruise.
Oh well, since the cruise is now cancelled we are planning on visiting our grandkids in Florida and Texas a little more. (May wait to visit the Houston grandkids until all is cleaned up from the hurricane.)

No longer a maiden voyage. Did you switch to November?

Martin, I copied Karen's post over to this thread so you would know her current plans. (see post above yours)

Too bad she won't be on the cruise with you, but maybe there will be others!
