Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff on Celebrity always makes the cruise for me and the Solstice was no exception. We never waited more than a few minutes for anything. Our cabin steward was so fantastic!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Solstice is one of my favorite ships. It does show it's age around the edges but it's a beautiful, well maintained and clean ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This is an accessible cabin. Lots of storage. The bathroom is easy and safe for anyone with disabilities.

Ship tip

Visit the World Class Bar. It's off the beaten track bout the bartenders are top notch and the cocktails are amazing

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.

Glad you enjoyed. We were on the Solstice in August 2015. Loved the whole cruise and we had fantastic weather. No rain at all and the week before we went they had torrential downpours and mudslides. We also had many days where we didn’t even need a jacket or sweater. Great great time and wonderful itinerary.
