Review summary

Overall the cruise was good, the stay in Honolulu for four day prior to the cruise was really needed for all there is to see and do in Honolulu.

I took two  tours prior to the Celebrity Solstice cruise, the Polynesian Cultural Center and Pearl Harbor Remembered.

Both of these tours was the best and not to be missed and very memorable.

The cruise itself was nice, however three islands in a row after spending four days touring in Honolulu was a bit much, you then had five days at sea with the weather getting colder with not much to do.

The ship itself was a good size, clean but lacking good entertainment and reasonable prices for shopping in their shops.

Spending extra for a room in Concierge class found towels and lush robes frayed and rough.

I would not recommend this ship and would not cruise with her again.
