Review summary

Really like Celebrity. Have sailed on the Solstice before. Ship really needs new furniture, especially on deck ( worn,some torn, faded). Food was not special in any way in dining room. Guess this is to force you to use the speciality restaurants for added costs. Cafe was much Better. Overall, you can't beat the service onboard. Due to weather a lot of indoor time was experienced. Lots of nice people with a seat hard to come by in thr public areas.

Ship tip

If you go to New Zealand and Sydney, Australia expect high winds most days and a rough ride across the Tasman sea. That's just because of where it is located. Take some duct tape to keep the closet doors from banging. Free Dramamine given onboard. I

Whatever you do don't complain about Celebrity, I am still waiting for a reply to damage to my clothing from my cruise in September. People commit crimes and are dealt with inside a couple of weeks, but Celebrity MUST have more than the average complaints to deal with. If you get a circular about your cruise asking for comments ignore it.

Couldn't agree more with you about the Main Dining Room, food was very poor particularly during the evening. The Celebrity Standard has definitely slipped.
