Creator's Key Takeaways

We've sailed on the Celebrity Solstice. We've really enjoyed it. Great ship.

I am really thrilled to see this. Um, I know that when we went to, um, Europe in December for the Christmas market cruise, um, people were having delays with it.

I am absolutely excited to go on our 50-day cruise on the Island Princess at the end of this year.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure layovers in places that you think, 'Oh, I've been there before. I can zip right along.' Make sure that you put in extra time.
If you've been stressed about the EES, still put in a lot of time for your layovers.

Cruise News Update – March 4, 2026 Today we have three important cruise and travel updates. First, Celebrity Solstice has just come out of dry dock — and the refresh includes more than just staterooms. Several onboard venues have been updated as well. Next, if you’re traveling to Europe this summer, there is an update about the EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES). The rollout had been creating long airport lines, and officials have now delayed the full implementation until September 2026. And finally, some positive financial news for cruise investors — Carnival Corporation has resumed paying dividends after several years. We’ll talk about what each of these updates means for travelers and cruisers. Let me know in the comments: Have you ever sailed on Celebrity Solstice? Are you planning a cruise to Europe this summer? Do you own Carnival stock for the onboard credit perks?
