May be its me but she was due with Indy on the 26 October when I printed the VTS list in March.
Now, she's gone.
Is she going to Dover instead or direct to the US?

It was announced a long time ago that she would not be calling in the UK and is sailing directly to the US.

When she was brought forward all mention of her coming disappeared. One travel blog reckoned recently we're getting Equinox to make up for it but we were anyway. I'm still hoping there'll be time, even for an overnight visit, but it is looking unlikely.

Hello everybody,

news from Germany is that Celebrity Cruises has suddenly changed plans again and that "Celebrity Solstice" will be presented in Hamburg next week despite that scheduled visit's earlier cancellation.

Best,

Raoul
