Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Tuscan Grill was excellent. Cafe al Bacio was fabulous. Main dining was okay. The buffet had some wonderful choices and fabulous Indian food.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Dr. Gary Kramer's talks were absolutely terrific. He was so informative, while being witty and quite funny. The talks made the trip so much better!!!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward, Benny, was so very attentive and kind...we just fell in love with him. / Juriel at Cafe al Bacio was excellent. He made everything run very smoothly while maintaining a calm and friendly manner. / Satish in Main Dining was charming, funny and efficient. / Wayan Robi, also in Main Dining was very good and funny. / Isabella in Main Dining was excellent. / John, the waiter, in Main Dining, was terrific. // On the negative side: Guest Relations wasn't sympathetic or apologetic when I told them I had no hot water in the shower. This was not the standard of service I expected from Guest Relations. / The people who served the ice cream in the Buffet area weren't friendly or welcoming.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I thought the library area on Deck 10 was gorgeous. The golden lighting and the books and the general décor were very soothing. I liked the older feel of the ship. I'm not a fan of modern décor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The bed was very comfortable. The room was large enough with enough space to store items. I loved that the bed was high enough to get my very large suitcase under it.

We are booked on the Solstice for an upcoming cruise. We currently have a balcony cabin on deck 8, but are considering upgrading to an Aqua Class cabin. Did you notice any noise coming from the pool deck above your cabin - either chairs being moved, loud music, people taking, etc? Thank you.
