and prices don't even look so bad......

I saw this link to the laying of the keel from one of the German threads.

As a Captain's Club member I got a mailing with a link to this page on Solstice:

Ken, There's no X on the stacks and the color scheme looks more like an RCCL ship to me. Will be interesting to get some feedback when she starts sailing.

Neil, It really does have a new look, has the feel of a Radison Seven Seas ship.

PS Also, Neil you probably noticed the "X" on the side of the aft portion of the ship. I have to say I am also interested in the Azamara wing of Celebrity as it develops.

We had options for the Soltices but decided against her since we are getting a 14 nighter in Asia on the Quest for roughly what we are paying on the Solstice in one week..... now add the immigration bit to the picture and the cruise in Asia wins hands down.

Hello Moeve, when do you sail on Quest?

28 Feb 2009 North East Asia - yes I know it is cold BUT lots of new places we have never been to.

Over and above that my vacation money goes else where for a second year running - thanks to US immigrations.
