Review summary

Love the ship, beautiful locations for amazing photo's. The select group for this cruise was an elderly group. (walkers, wheelchairs everywhere)This particular cruise is not your typical party boat. If you want to get away and relax or spend some quality time with family and/or friend(s) this is the cruise for you. Perfect ship to take mom or grandma on. I enjoyed seeing the elderly enjoy life in their golden years. God Is Good!!!

The food was plentiful, however the same menu everyday was a bit boring towards the end of the cruise. I was expecting at least one night of CRAB ~ I mean we're traveling Alaska. The only good show was the dancers, one comedian left the boat early and the one who took his place was reading from his notes. I felt a little cheated.

Our room service was good. We tipped him very well. Although I was expecting more towel designs upon entering the room at night. One animal looking arrangement for the entire trip.

Oh!  I forgot!  I meant to mention on our May 2017 Solstice cruise that we had NO towel animals at all.  I think perhaps Celebrity does not do that anymore?

 

As for your comedian remark, we did not see but one of the two comedians on our cruise.  The one we saw was before The British Invasion (Beatles) and he was so bad that I dozed through his act.  My husband said he wished he had dozed too!!

We just returned from an Alaska Inner Passage May 26, 2017 cruise on the beautiful Solstice.  I personally was hoping for  more seniors passengers.  Our cruise had practically newborn babies to the elderly in wheelchairs.  Seniors are generally well behaved and quiet in their cabins.  We had loud, unruly, undisciplined small children on both sides of our cabin!!  How would you like that?  We did not blame Celebrity for that, we blamed the PARENTS for not teaching their children how to behave.  We did not let them ruin our wonderful cruise on the beautiful Solstice!

It was nice to read that overall you enjoyed your cruise.  Thanksf for posting your first review here. I hope that on your next cruise you find more variety of food and more towel animals.
