Review summary

Was solid, fine cruise. Would not say wow, but generally good. We missed two stops due to weather and a medical emergency, which was unfortunate and could have been communicated better. LGBT drinks were held in undesirable locations and unadvertised after the third day. Service had its ups and downs.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good, if not great in main dining room. Did not try specialty restaurants. Buffet also very good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not a lot of interesting talks, unappealing activities/games in general. Gym was spacious but many machines broken.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Ship singers and dancers excellent. Special performers were mixed.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Some mix ups in the main dining room, room attendant excellent. Bar staff mixed. Excellent martini bar bartenders, other bartenders lackluster.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Good for an older ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was average for a balcony room. Not much benefit from the concierge class.

Ship tip

Outside buffet tables are the best!

Wonderful cruise, fantastic staff, but Celebrity Solstice really needs a complete refresh!

Disappointing experience for cruising.
