Having flown along way from Ireland, it was great to relax on a wonderful ship and visit places we could only of dreamed off. Thought the Celebrity Solstice was amazing in every way.

Our room steward, Bertalino couldn't do enough for us. Waiter Robin in the theatre was great and Olga in the Ocean View café who cleared tables was super.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Loved the lifts with views of them from foyer to deck 15. The ability to sit on decks 3 to 6 and watch foyer entertainment with a coffee or drink.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very pleased with stateroom, perfect size for the two of us. Steward kept it spotless.
I enjoyed the tenders to and from the ship, not everyone did! Akaroa not very big but we did enjoy the red Double Decker trip even though it was delayed by an hour and a half. Driver and guide gave super commentaries in a very friendly way.
Really enjoyed the excursion round Wellington visiting many interesting places and having some time to ourselves as well. Bus driver John Mahon was amazing, funny and informative.
Disembarkation in Sydney quicker than embarkation in Freemantle. However although our ticket numbers were called out on the ship, the shore staff insisted they hadn't! Miscommunication somewhere!
