Review summary

I enjoyed experiencing Tahini, New Zealand, and Sydney Australia. Words cannot express how much I enjoyed visiting these places. However, the dining, entertainment, and activities aboard the Solstice were the worst! Also, my excursions that I setup through Celebrity were terrible and a total waste of my money!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The most efficient embarkation I have ever experienced

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food in the specialty restaurants (The Blue) was terrible! I am a plant based eater and each meal there tasted like a punishment. My husband and I did not find the food in the main dining rooms much better. My husband is not a plant based eater and he said that most of the meats were dry and over cooked.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
The activities were extremely boring. The cruise director scheduled activities more for a retirement home!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The shows were weak. Even the onboard movies old and outdated.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was great.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The Solstice is old and noisy. It was so bad that I had to sleep with ear plugs to ruff waters due to the ship rattling so much.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
My cabin was comfortable enough, but it was very noisy.

Ship tip

Don’t, choose another ship!
