Celebrity Solstice Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The Australia to New Zealand Cruise is a must see!

Had we not had an issue with the noise above us, we would have given the cruise 5 stars. The noise never actually woke us up but if we were awake, you weren't getting back to sleep. Clearly last minute bookings get the cabins that no-one else wants. We have actually booked another cruise on the same ship, although after it gets a re-fit at the end of 2021. We have just booked on a lower level with staterooms above and below us.

Outstanding in every way, especially service and organization.

We love the Celebrity Solstice. The impeccable service from the staff, the cleanliness, the outstanding food and beverages and the overall entertainment was outstanding. We have booked two more cruises on it's sister ship - the Celebrity Eclipse.

Fantastic cruise, visiting many beautiful places, made all the better by the excellent service, as always from Celebrity.

Our overall experience was fantastic. The attendants were all superior, rooms were clean and public areas were also. The ship is going into the renovation and should update some of the older looking areas of the ship. We really enjoyed the ports of call and the tendering operations were well run. We our loyal Celebrity customers and this cruise just added to our continued loyalty. We have already signed up for our next cruise in 2021.

7th cruise with Celebrity. 5th time on Solstice. Booked again at Future Cruises on board for another. Can't wait to do it all again. All c redit to Captain Alex and crew.

Excellent experience. Good food, nice room, good entertainment. Embarkation and disembarkation process great

10 nights, out of syndey, to Hobart and around NZ. Despite it being the middle of summer, unfortunately stuck a patch of bad weather, but NZ is brilliant even on a bad day.

It’s such a beautiful ship with the most amazing crew. Captain Alex just makes the cruise even better. The best captain we have ever sailed with.

Having sailed on the infinity last month this ship let us down on food in the main dining room. Not a patch on the chefs on the infinity.

Really enjoyed Aqua class, loved the Persian garden. Excellent cabin stewards. Great shows and guest performers but house and lounge bands need improvement. Looked the photo staffs approach to more spontaneous pics, even bought 3! Beautiful itinerary, as NZ is just beautiful. Very enjoyable cruise director and Activities Staff, very fun and engaging. Captain Alex might be the most fun CRUISE SHIP CAPTAIN, ever!

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

Disappointed in Cruise for what we paid for. Learnt things by the errors that were made.

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.

This was a great cruise on celebrity cruises. We had a great cruise on board the celebrity solstice

Great staff and New Zealand is beautiful. Loved Picton, Napier & Akoroa and Milford Sounds. Christmas day on the ship was disappointing with no Christmas menu and no Christmas Carols or festivities (they had this all on New Years Eve) very disappointed but the staff were amazing. Too much upselling constantly on the ship and constant additional costs for everything when it was already a more expensive cruise with being a Christmas New Year Cruise. Not our favourite ship out of the other couple of cruises we have done. But wonderful staff that made it very memorable.

We really enjoyed our cruise and made some wonderful new friends. This was the 4th time we have cruised to New Zealand on the Celebrity Solstice. We did expect that being a Christmas/New Year cruise that there would have been more celebrations and traditional Christmas meals. New Year was celebrated more than Christmas. On Christmas day it was Happy Holidays and not Merry Christmas - for a cruise in Australia/New Zealand why did we have to respect the beliefs of the minority. When we are in their country that's fine, but they should respect us in our country. This was my only disappontment.

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