Rated 8 out of 10.
Loved staying overnite In Cabo- the main reason I booked this trip. Wish there were more ovenites on Celebrity ( & in Mexico).
Food, service, entertainment, comfort, cleanliness & overall luxury experience on Celebrity is a 10.
Instead of visiting a Silver shop in Mazatlan, wish we cld have spent time visiting in the Golden one.
Port time change (less time) in PV was a small disappointment.
Overall- LOVE Celebrity & loved Mexico.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Morning room service- excellent! On time, hot coffee & great croissants.
Buffet- Ocean view Cafe- very good. Loved the breakfast choices and the Indian food available each day. Danish pastries are especially good. Hot food also very good.
Main dining room- food very good. Terrific service always!
Love the Martini Bar.
Murano specialty dining restaurant- excellent!! The food was fantastic both times we dined there- lunch & dinner. Service was impeccable.
Tuscan Grille- not great on our dinner visit. Food presentation was not great. Actual food was not hot and pastas were undercooked. Service was excellent tho.
A disappointment compared to our Alaska cruise's dining there in 2019.
Sush On 5- very good. The sushi rolls are highly recommended.
Cafe Baccio- very good coffee. Pastries good but some a bit dry and not as good as 2019.
All in all, the dining on Celebrity is VERY GOOD- often EXCELLENT!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Lots of activities tho I don't use the pool much nor do the 'game show' activities. Liked the Captain's talk about navigation to us passengers one afternoon. Wish there were more lectures as we had on our Alaska cruise. Appreciated having Hanukkah services on board.
All in all- just dine.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
All the stage shows we attended were Excellent! Very talented singers & dancers- full of energy! Beautiful sets and good costumes. A good veriety of musical genres- rock, classic, modern themes. We especially LOVED the Motown group UPTOWN- 3 terrific young guys-singer/dancers- who rocked the house and had everyone dancing 1 night in the theater & 1 night in the center main atrium area on 3, mixing & dancing with the crowd. Everyone loved them!
Children's Programs
Just me & my husband- our kids are grown & not traveling with us.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Absolutely impeccable! From our room steward to the serving & dining areas- the best!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Our cabin as well as the entire ship was very clean! We saw staff constantly cleaning all parts of the ship, day & night- reassuring. Tho the Solstice ship is a bit older now, still very pretty and comfortable. Easy to access all parts of the ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Our veranda cabin seemed a bit smaller than same class cabin on the Eclipse ship to Alaska but they could be the same. But all in all just fine. Overall, very clean & bed very comfy. Lots of storage. Balcony was big enough to enjoy the sea and scenery and just 'chill' outdoors.
Ship tip
Go to the Murano specialty dining restaurant!! And take advantage of the Martini Bar- great drinks, a good gathering place & always busy!
Loved staying overnite In Cabo- the main reason I booked this particular trip. So worth it as you get to explore & experience more of the town. Not as rushed to see & do everything.
Only spent a day in Mazatlan but took the offered City Tour excursion- totally worth it to walk the old town area's streets & square, visit a bakery & market, and pass by a shrimp, food & flower market along the trip. Even passed the baseball stadium. Loved seeing the Malacon too. Visiting the Golden one was advertised but we did not visit there- wd have ike to.
Wished the ship could have offered a 'Shrimp Dining Night' onboard as Mazatlan shrimp is supposed to be best in Mexico!
Wish we had more time to spend in port in PV. When I booked this cruise, time in port was listed as 8 am-6 pm but it was changed to leave at 4pm- way too early! We lost 2 hours in port to explore so wish that had not changed. We did not do an excursion but did walk the Malacon & surrounding streets to have lunch. Suggest to shop at the craft markets on Rio Cuale ,right off the Malacon towards the end. Need to go back to PV!
