Celebrity Solstice Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Scenic trip would have been better on a different cruise line.

The ship is a mess, the entire 9th floor didn’t have hot water for days. Our room had major issues including the heat not working and either going full blast and turning our room into a sauna, or blowing cold air and turning our room into a freezer. For 4 days we had to deal with that until it was fixed. Room service food was awful and one morning it didn’t even show up at all. Other times when it did it was at least twice as long as they said it would be and cold when it arrived. Other food on the ship was truly disgusting. Bread so hard you couldn’t cut through it. Rotten vegetables. Poorly seasoned food. Lobster bisque with no lobster. And don’t even get me started on the buffet…. The worst food quality I’ve ever seen on any ship. And I’ve been on carnival ships.

Most enjoyable cruise I have been on! It was the first Celebrity cruise for me. Alaska was beautiful. One excursion was canceled due to weather. Another excursion was canceled because a woman went overboard and we arrived late at the port. Entertainment and food onboard was excellent. Attended the behind the scenes tour of the ship and the hot shop class. Our cabin was kept immaculate! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 want to do it again.

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!!

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.

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

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.

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