Review summary

I think that this cruise line may have made it difficult for us to use any other.  People who have cruised before have told us this is the best and it certainly was.  Everyone on the crew wear fanastic and the luxury of everything was outstanding.  Our cabin stewards were fantastic as were our waiting staff in the dining room.  The food was excellent.  When we next cruise it will be celebrity, no matter where in the world we do it.

I would never recommend the Solstice for a first cruise.

Totally agree!  Just returned on June 3rd from Tracy Arm Fjord cruise on Celebrity Solstice!  Loved the spotless, well maintained ship and crew.  We had a very bad cruising experience with another popular cruise line in 2009 and vowed to never cruise again.   Eight years later we decided to try Celebrity because we love Alaska.  Solstice did not let us down!   Yesterday we booked cabin 1211 on Celebrity Silhoutte for a transatlantic cruise on April 15 - 28, 2018 from Port Everglades, FL to Southampton, UK.

Celebrity is fantastic!!!!!

It was an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed the ability to do what and when we wanted to. the options were there and we only had to choose.
