You can
find any cruise you want to book on the Internet. But the best way to buy a
cruise is from an experienced travel agent, who can get you the best
price and who understands how to design a cruise vacation around what
you want and what you can afford. Cruise lines are not all the same, and every ship presents a different experience.
I have cruised on dozens of ships, but if I want an up-to-date analysis of atmosphere, style, food and pricing for a cruise, I call an experienced travel agent.
Booking Celebrity Solstice: Until April 2009, Celebrity Solstice is on 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruises roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with port stops that include San Juan, St. Maarten, Tortola, Haiti, and St. Kitts, depending on the itinerary. Celebrity Solstice sets sail on a transatlantic voyage from Fort Lauderdale April 19, 2009, ending in Rome, where the ship will offer a series of roundtrip 10- and 11- night Eastern Mediterranean sailings.
The Solstice is the first of five new Celebrity ships, followed by Celebrity Equinox in 2009, Celebrity Eclipse in 2010, a fourth Solstice-class ship in 2011, and a fifth in 2012. For more information, visit www.celebritycruises.com.
