Celebrity Solstice

Review summary

The ship was new and very well designed. The people on the cruise were mostly older (65+) but there were many families with children. It did not have a party atmosphere which you find on other cruise lines, but we enjoyed the more dignified atmosphere. Celebrity offers various beverage plans which were well worth the price. The food was exceptional. We did not try the specialty restaurants as the food in the main dining room was always delicious.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
While the ship did offer a program for children of all ages, only the very young children seemed to be attending. Older (12 years+) children did not attend the programs, so a child looking for something to do had trouble finding a place to meet other children.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

1 out of 5
Not much to do at all. The port is in Old San Juan. There is shopping but the stores smell musty. There were no beaches nearby and no excursions to beaches or snorkeling were offered.
Don't Miss: Stay on the ship

Philipsburg, St. Maarten
