Review summary
We really enjoyed our cruise and made some wonderful new friends. This was the 4th time we have cruised to New Zealand on the Celebrity Solstice. We did expect that being a Christmas/New Year cruise that there would have been more celebrations and traditional Christmas meals. New Year was celebrated more than Christmas. On Christmas day it was Happy Holidays and not Merry Christmas - for a cruise in Australia/New Zealand why did we have to respect the beliefs of the minority. When we are in their country that's fine, but they should respect us in our country. This was my only disappontment.Embarkation

If you want to enjoy a traditional Christmas - this is probably not the best cruiseline to pick.
