Review summary

Our 30 year anniversary trip and first cruise was absolutely amazing! The Captain of the ship was most pleasant and funny. I liked his confidence in himself and his staff. The ship was beautiful. The staff were very attentive and regulated seamlessly. Our personally assigned staff always went above and beyond duty to provide 5 Star service. We enjoyed their company and hope to see them again. We met a lot of new friends in other passengers as well as staff. I am so thankful for Celebrity Solstice enchanting us with fabulous lifetime memories. We want to share this experience with our children and Grand children. We hope to cruise again with Celebrity and bring our entire family! Thank you Celebrity Solstice!

Very very comfortable and clean! We had plenty of room and the layout of cabin was smart! Our Steward Sigit provided excellent service, always attentive!

Ship tip

Don’t fall for the “ port jewelry sales “ presentations on the ship! It’s a scam! The over priced jewelry stores in these towns are not owned by locals!

Love Love this charming town! The local people were so wonderful, friendly and happy to have us visit. Our Baranof Fishing Excursion was so awesome! Captain David was wonderful, we caught many fish, saw a big black bear on shore, many eagles and went to a beautiful little secluded island where a Campfire and hot cocoa was waiting for us. Our fish was cleaned and a fabulous chef cooked us a wonderful meal. We sat around the campfire with our captain and chef and a few other workers eating and had a great visit. It was my favorite excursion of all. Well worth the money. Baranof Fishing excursion❤️❤️❤️
