We both thought the Solstice handled the seas just fine, but then

the ocean and there is going to be a little movement.

I read reports about a lot motion on other forums. It is sounding like
it does not effect those of us who don't get sea sick but those who do
get sea sick feel the motion more than they do normaly.
I usually take Bonine once a day when on a cruise. On the
Solstice, I found it to be such smooth sailing that it wasn't needed
at all. Deck 9 rocks, but doesn't roll. LOL

Ermalee

That's for sure, Erm!!!

What happens on the Solstice stays on the Solstice.

That was engraved over my doorway.

Jeff


Okay, then I will not mention that Ermalee became engaged - twice.

Becca

Lol.... Hmmm.

Becca, but you DO know she got MARRIED while in St. Maarten, don't
you? ;-)

Hey! Whatever happened to "What happens on the Solstice stays on the
Solstice."????

Exactly! Nobody is playing by the rules here!!!

Loose lips, sink ships! Words to live by!

You know, I saw Ermalee when I was getting coconut sorbet in the
buffet. She was leaving the ship, and I wanted to go with her, but I
had to take photos of the door decorations, first. I turn my back for
one minute, and this is what happens. lol
I did see her become engaged to David, though. Very touching. I need a
tissue. sniffle

Becca

Erm was trying to be a homewrecker, but I don't think she succeeded, lol...

motion and consider it a neutral-to-positive experience on a ship. This

One person speculated to me that with the Solstice being so new, that
they might still be experimenting with the stabilizer system to tune it,
or dial it in. That was the reason for the question following my post.
It makes sense that a stabilization system for such a new and massive
ship might need tuning.

Nonny, you probably met Sharon & Jeanette on the Solstice. This was their
first group cruise and they were introduced to the group by going to one
of Muffin's picnic's in Ohio. Anyway, Sharon asked me if I felt any ship
movement, because she fell out of bed one morning. She thought we ran over
a speed bump.

Becca

THAT is too funny, Becca...a speed bump in the middle of the ocean! Whenever
I hear a "thump" noise, I wonder if the ship hit a whale or a big wave...;-)

Ermalee got engaged to both David and the jewelry store man in St.
Maarten. I got the jewelry man story from Erm while waiting for the
water taxi and then was a witness to her and David's engagement(grin).
