Review summary

Awesome - really the only word that describes our cruise. Love Celebrity !!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick check in and on the ship. Only took about 10 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food and service was excellent in every restaurant. The waitstaff and bartenders went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We spent a lot of time on the pool deck and never really had a problem getting a lounger. Something that is quite often a problem on many ships. The fitness centre is also excellent we really enjoyed using it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The guest performers were excellent and the ships entertainment stuff was also very good even though we had seen one of the shows before we were still entertained.

Children's Programs

Did not have any kids with us .

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Can’t say enough good things about all the employees on the ship. It didn’t matter if it was your room steward, waiter or even the person with the soap washing your hands on the way into the dining, they were all friendly and greeted you with a smile and did an excellent job .

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We really enjoy the solstice class of ship as it is a nice size to get around. The ships condition was very good, much better than I had expected since it’s going in to dry dock in June 2019. I had read some reviews were people were complaining about the ships condition but I’m not sure what they were talking about as I really didn’t see anything that stood out to me.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was excellent, we really like having the oversized balcony because it fits the lounger plus several chairs. This was great as we could have as many as six or seven people out there with lots of room having a few drinks. Our room steward was amazing, she would always have our room done as soon as we came down from breakfast. I can’t find anything to complain about with the room it was perfect.

Ship tip

Try to get a room near the rear elevators as most places you go on the ship seem to be close to the rear set of elevators as compared to the front ones.

Not a lot to do in the sport, it was very nice and clean and safe so we did wander around in the port and found some nice spots to enjoy the perfect weather. Hopefully this port Will be developed in the near future.
