Celebrity Solstice

7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)

Sail date: February 20, 2011

Ship: Celebrity Solstice

Cabin type: Suite

Traveled as: Family (young children)

Review summary

The ship was clean and the service was incredible. Though Celebrity is not a cruise line that is known as being kid oriented they did an amazing job at keeping our 9 yr old daughter happy and very entertained.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
though the specialty restaurants are extra-they are totally worth it. The quality is that of any top name metro restaurants

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Particularly enjoyed the enrichment programs around food and wine

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Our daughter can be very shy and reserved in new situations, but the entire staff really helped draw her out and get her involved. She is already emailing back and forth with several of the other girls she befriended at the Fun Factory!

Service and Staff

We had a sky suite facing the back. The only downfall is the outside portion of the oceanview cafe's seating was directly above us so the early morning dinners' would wake us up

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

We took a snorkel/beach excursion- it left at 8:45, which meant it was still pretty cold when we got there. The beach was nice, but we had to leave by 11:30, just as it was finally warm enough. I also got a really nasty cold sore from the snorkel gear- which was just really nasty

San Juan, Puerto Rico

There were no excursions that allowed our daughter to attend. We wondered around a bit, but I didn't feel very inspired by any thing we saw

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

1 out of 5
We tried another beach day so went for the beach rendezvous on the french side- we got there and you couldn't see the beach because the rows of the lounge chairs were so tight. Lunch was included which was horrible

Pros: Service and food delightful

Cons: the excursions did nothing for the cruise

Recommends Celebrity Solstice? Yes!
