Cruise liner Celebrity Solstice which has a capacity of 2,852 passengers and 1,250 crew members is currently berthed at the Suva Wharf with most of the tourists onboard visiting our shores for the first time.
John Byatt and Maddi Crothers who boarded the Celebrity Solstice from Victoria, Australia was impressed with how the locals treated the tourists that arrived today.
Crothers says this is their first time in Fiji and they thought that the locals would force the tourists into buying things like other countries they had visited.
Crothers says this is a trip of a life time.
The Celebrity Solstice will be heading to Lautoka at 4pm today and then leave for Noumea tomorrow night.
The 314.86 metre cruise liner was built at a cost of US$750 million in 2008.
Onboard amenities include a large theater with a 1,400 plus seating capacity, numerous bars and clubs and youth facilities.
