Celebrity Solstice Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was third of back to back cruises. South Pacific, Great Barrier and then this one

We waited over a year to see the Great Barrier Reef. Then, when the moment came, Celebrity/Sunlovers Cruises failed to provide the means for seeing the Reef. The Celebrity/Sunlovers boat held just 27 people, forcing the 300 people to go aboard for just 15 minutes each. 15 minutes to see the Great Barrier Reef is false advertising, verging on fraud. And we were charged nearly $300 extra to see the Reef for 15 minutes. [Then we did not even get the 15 minutes because the glass-bottom boat was cancelled by ocean swells.

Good ports. Good food. Great shows. Nice cabin. Great staff.

We had a wonderful cruise, we started in Australia and thought it was great but when we got to New Zealand, we were blown away by its beauty, definitely the most gorgeous country we've ever visited! The Solstice was great from stateroom, food, and entertainment - Celebrity is the best.

It was a great cruise. For us there were too many sea days. We are better off with fewer sea days.

We truly enjoyed this cruise, and we thought it was well organized and efficient when disembarking at ports. Just a side note on excursions....New Zealanders are “on their own schedule”,so if an excursion states it’s only 3 hours, it could, possibly, be much longer (which was the case on all our excursions). But, we never missed the ship’s departure!

Again the crew and passengers were very different than the first cruise we took on this ship; from not as courteousness or helpful.

Enjoyed it very much; have done this cruise before in reverse.

we want to do it again.

This was a honeymoon for us. We participated in many activities. We loved the glass blowing class, history presentations of comedy, and trivia. We enjoyed the casino, piano concert with the celebrity orchestra, table tennis, and all the music! We would do this again!! Thank you!!

This is a trip we are glad we took, but probably wouldn’t take again. On the plus side, it is a relatively inexpensive way to visit Hawaii, which is hideously expensive. Room and food cost us about $180 per person per day on the boat. Comparable accommodations and meals would probably cost at least twice as much on land. Not to mention we saved some on air fare. Flights to Vancouver are much less than flights to Hawaii. In addition, we got to visit three islands, one with two stops. On the downside, tendering at Kona and Lahaina limit how much time you have to visit these ports. There are some sights we would like to see, especially on Maui, that would better be done while staying there. The first day in Lahaina the sea was pretty rough and getting on and off the tenders was challenging, especially for people with mobility issues.

We love the food most in entire of this cruise trip! Best food and best service!

The experience was great and loved Alaska. The ship was the best way to see it all, but the cruise itself was average. I recommend everyone put Alaska on their bucket list. Glad we went on it! Wildlife and nature was beautiful.

Celebrity Cruises gave us such a memorable and fun trip. Captain Alex was hilarious as well as Cruise Director Lewis and Patrick. They pack so many activities you dont have a chance to be bored. The attitude of all on board was that of positivity and happy to see you!! I am already planning our next cruise!! Thank you Captain Alex and crew!!

Alaska is a beautiful country, everyone should try to take a cruise and see it

This was a once in a lifetime trip for our other two travelling couples and they were "blown away". This was not our first time to visit most of the destinations but it was the best cruise.

Satisfactory experience but not as outstanding as previous Celebrity cruises we have taken.

Great trip, Alaska is amazing. Dining room times are an issue for breakfast and lunch, which caused most guest to go to the buffet. The buffet did not have enough seating to accommodate the large crowds. The buffet had the same items all of the time, no variety. The boat was beautiful but the furniture in the lounges and theatres are worn. Furniture needs replacing/updating. The Alaskan experience was wonderful.

If you want to go on a cruise where you can relax, enjoy nature, go on excursions on the glaciers, water rafting, view whales and just catch up on some R&R, go to Alaska!! If you want to go to Alaska and feel like it was worth the cost, travel Princess.

Highly entertaining cruise with magnificent sights and cool, pleasant summer temperatures.
