Celebrity Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

Was reccommended this Line by our Travel Advisor and all I can say is Thank you, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We arrived early 11:00 hoping to maybe put our Cases on board while waiting around Sydney for our embarkation time of 4:30 and were told we could immediately embark so by 11:30 we were sitting onboard with Drink in hand. All in all a wonderful experience with great ...

On February 3rd, 2018, we sailed on the Celebrity Solstice on a 14 night cruise from Sydney, Australia-Auckland, New Zealand. We hit magnificent weather, although it had been over 100 degrees in Sydney before we arrived, It was actually cool while we were there. I was curious about the conditions in the Tasman Sea because I had always heard that it was rough, just like going around the tip of ...

We decided to cross another destination from our bucket list and thought that the best way to travel to Australia and New Zealand will be with a cruise, as we are not used to drive on the other side of the road. Once we made this decision it was clear to us that we will do it with Celebrity, probably the best cruise company, and they did not disappoint. We travel from Toronto and opted for ...

Three couples, after two years of planning, departed on the Celebrity Solstice for a two week cruise from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand (with stops in Melbourne, Hobart, Fiordlands, Dunedin, Akaroa, Wellington, Napier, and Bay of Islands). The entire experience was perfect. The ship is beautiful and well cared for, the food was uniformly very good to excellent (main dining room, ...

This ship has seen better days.At slower speeds the entire ship would rumble from the engine. The food was plentiful but at best average in taste. Service was not as individualize as on my previous cruises with Celebrity. even after 10 days at the same restaurant i was asked my name and room number. Attention to detail was missing, on several occasions there were misprints in the daily schedule ...

Our Australia/New Zealand Cruise was everything we had hoped for with exceptional sailing conditions. We flew to Singapore and stayed overnight in an extremely well located hotel in the Orchard Road vacinity, enabling us to explore the area and sample good food and hospitality. Then we flew from Singapore to Sydney and booked additional two nights stay before embarking our cruise ship. This was ...

Sydney to Auckland was new territory for us, but we were returning to the Celebrity Solstice after three years on other lines. The 14 day itinerary is fine. We were surprised at the changes in the ship. Embarkation went well, but not the lifeboat training drill later that afternoon. Our drill was the longest I have experienced, first taking attendance for 700 guests, then scouting up the ...

We chose this cruise because of the 14 day itinerary, which started in Sydney and then went to Melbourne, Hobart Tasmania, Milford/Dusky/Doubtful Sounds (a day of amazing cruising of the fjords), and then 5 more stops up the east coast of New Zealand. Akaroa was my favorite because of the stunning scenery. The Australia cruises sail during their summer, which is winter in the US, so it is a ...

I heard that Solstice was a nice ship and as it was our 52nd wedding anniversary I thought it would be a great way to celebrate. Couldn't fault the service and food and Errol in the Ensemble Lounge was fantastic. We had the best cocktails we've tasted in a long time. Sorry that he is retiring as he was a great asset and will be missed. The Captain kept us very entertained. Would have liked ...

We had done the same cruise in 2013 and a Reflection in the Mediterranean in 2014 and as both were super I booked Solstice again.As our agent knew our preferences I stayed with her and the process was stress free. Starting with the negative aspects so I can finish with a plus. Some of the daytime talks were just about selling their products. One on looking more youthful as we age was actually ...
