The Daily, our first night on Celebrity Solstice, and Sea Day

So remember I told you about this neat little "newspaper" they leave in your room every night called Celebrity Today?  I'm going to give you an overview of what it entails.

It gives you cool information like what day it is, what time sunrise and sunset is, what the weather is going to be AND lists all the cool things to do while onboard.  I always take my Daily everywhere with me, even while on the ship.  This way I don't miss anything.

Here lists all activities for the day and evening

 AND huge tip here - the last page lists the Hours of Operation for the Bar, The Art Gallery, Spa, Guest Relations, Photo Gallery, Pools, Shops & Boutiques, etc.  Also it has the list of restaurants, their times and what they serve as in breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner, etc.  As you can see there is a variety of entertainment all day and night, so that you should never be bored.

And NO we didn't do everything, remember this was the cruise that I was taking my husband on so that he could relax, unwind and try to rest.  He did take his computer and work during the days some, and we did a lot of walking the ship, went to the gym and sat on our balcony looking for whales.  So overall he did relax somewhat but the best part was I had him contained for 7 days all to myself.  It was bliss.

Even when you are out and about in town - we had a couple recognize us from the ship and asked if we had our Daily with us, they couldn't remember what time something was and wanted to be back on the ship so as not to miss it.  Just so happened I had mine and they were very happy.


A real cool thing on this ship was the Hot Glass Show, Celebrity has partnered with  Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York and they give demonstrations of their excellent techniques.  They did two shows a day so there was no reason to miss it.  Phenomenal, they explain everything as they are doing it and at the end of the cruise they auction off their pieces to raise money for their causes.

Each day they display the pieces they have made the day before, it's truly a show not to be missed. Here is a link to some information.

As the evening winds down we decide to head inside and explore.


Yes it's just the two of us on our cruise, but we decided when we got onboard to upgrade our beverage package to the "premium" which for one price per day gave us wine, cocktails, coffee, tea, juice all included.  So we hit up the Martini Bar which has a shaved ice top so we entertained ourselves until dinner by drawing in the 'snow'.  There was music everywhere to be enjoyed and the show was great.  Dinner in the main dining room was excellent.  I will have to say that Celebrity has really good food, not one complaint from either one of us.

Tomorrow I will tell you about the food..........
