Review summary
This was my second cruise and I am hooked. The Celebrity Solstice lives up to the claim of being a class above all other cruise ships. The ship itself is beautifully appointed but the real asset is the staff that go out of their way to be friendly and accommodating to all of your needs. Two examples, after the first full day of the sailing, there was a form left in the room to fill out regarding anything that was missing to make your vacation better. In our room the doors to the closet were difficult to slide and the top drawer in the bathroom was askew. I wrote that on the form and that very afternoon when I returned to my room, both were fixed! Second example, after a full day of excursion on shore in the tropical heat, there were two very long lines waiting for the transfer boats to take the travelers back to the boat. One was for the Celebrity Solstice, the other for another cruise line. As we made our way through the port gate, there were two tables set up with overhead canopies, one serving ice cold water and punch, the other handing out iced towels to all Celebrity passengers. The unfortunate travelers on the other cruise line had nothing while waiting for the transfer boat to take them to their ship. I am completely spoiled now and other than wanting to try the Royal Caribbean Oasis, I will always choose one of the Solstice class Celebrity ships for my cruise vacation.Ship experiences
