Review summary
The Celebrity Soltice is only a few months old and you can see that when it comes to cleanliness of the ship. Spotless. Beautifl pool area and many options to layout throughout the ship. Food is on par with other cruise lines. Wish they had more options when it came to booking excursions and room for more people on the excursions they do have. My husband was VERY disappointed with the smoking policies on the ship. We actually received a letter threatening a $250 fine if they thought he was smoking on our own balcony. It's common for there to be designated areas for smoking, but it would have been nice to know the EXACT policies and the fact that there was no smoking allowed on balonies and in the casino before we booked. Because of this, my husband doesn't plan on sailing on this particular ship again. Most of the staff went above and beyond - especially in the dining areas. Not so much at some of the bars.Ship experiences

Pros: Ship is very clean, beautiful pool and lots of options to catch some rays
Cons: Knew smoking would be in designated areas - did not expect one of those areas to be our own balcony and the casino
