It was average at best. We won't travel Celebrity again.

Review summary

We did not like the loud rap music played in the Ocean View Cafe. The constant reminders that we were not part of the upper levels of the captain's club was very annoying. None of the many cruise lines we've been on had a similar arrangement.

Anyone that has sailed on Celebrity knows that there is zero music played in the ocean view Cafe.

We were on the Solstice recently from Honolulu to Sydney and never in those 17 days did they have rap music playing. Love cruising with Celebrity and it would definitely be our first choice.

We have been on the Solstice three times and were on the cruise prior to this. Never experienced Rap music in Oceanview cafe and never had any issues in regards to Captain Club and the levels with all 6 cruises with Celebrity so I would love to know what you were referring to.

Poor review. Need to elaborate more on what was wrong other than "loud rap misic". (Which we never experienced on the 13 days we cruised on the Solstice)
