March 26, 2014. Celebrity Solstice. The Ultimate Dining.

Every morning, Ken and I eat breakfast in Bistro on Five. It is one of the specialty restaurants on the Solstice. By the time we get there we have the place to ourselves. Our service is superb. Normally there is a $5.00 cover charge but for us, it is free because Ken signed us up for the Ultimate Dining Experience. Our patterns are not a bit consistent. We refuse to pay an entrance fee but we gladly pay for Ultimate Dining. On the Norwegian Star, I carefully explained to Ken my philosophy about paying more money for specialty restaurants on the ship. He ignored me and bought it anyway, which we ended up enjoying. It thoroughly We had the same conversation about the Celebrity Solstice and with the same result. This ship has three specialty restaurants plus the casual Bistro on Five. Every evening, Ken and I dine in another superb restaurant, rotating between the three. It is great fun. So we take very few excursions because they are expensive and often are not good, but we dine every night with our Ultimate Dining card. It makes no sense but it certainly is fun!!
