We are a young at heart (50s) couple who were looking to do something different for our holidays and so decided to do our first ever cruise. Using our local travel agent, we were initially booked on another cruise line at the start of March, but due to unforeseen circumstances at my husbands work, we had to cancel that and we switched to Celebrity Solstice.....and think we got the better ...
My wife went on a 3 night cruise with some girl friends last year and broached the subject of cruising with me. After a little research I decided on a 9 night cruise on the Celebrity Solstice in a Concierge class balcony stateroom.
We arrived at the Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and were gobsmacked at the ease of of clearing customs (compared to airports). Once on board we ...
Having started out with Celebrity and then cruised with RCL, MSC and Princess it was good to get back to the familiar quality of experience offered on Solstice.
Perhaps not best for families or people looking for rock climbing or other adrenaline rush activities. Celebrity instead is where I feel most comfortable. Being almost 60 and still on the younger side of the average tells you something ...
Another tick off the bucket list, we were not sure what to expect but this cruise on Celebrity Solstice was one of the best experiences of our life.
2800 guests 1250 attendants and crew, we headed off from Sydney on March 25 2017 to New Caledonia and Vanuatu. 5 Star luxury at sea, all you can eat and drink.
The main restaurant and food was as good as you could expect at a 5 Star restaurant ...
The cost to travel on this ship has been relatively high in comparison to other ships. When we seen it at a bargain, we grabbed the deal
Overall we found service to be high particularly in the buffet where staff dealt very effectively with my wife's dietry needs. The food in the main dining room was good quality and so was the service but on a couple of occasions the tempreture of the food ...
With been first time cruises we wanted the best and certainly wasnt disappointed. Our room with balcony was large and great to have breakfast out there each morning. Emabrking and disembarking took of around 30 minutes. The food was incredible in the buffet and the MDR. As for things to do you could do as much or as little as you wanted. I was happy with a book sitting around the pool. When ...
This was our 8th cruise with Celebrity and the second on the Solstice which is a beautiful ship.
Embarkation was swift and pain free and we were onboard just after 11am.
We were given the Classic Beverage Package as a free perk and upon boarding, asked the cost of our favourite NZ Sauvignon Blancs (in particular Villa Maria). At $12.50US per glass, they are definitely Premium Package ...
We enjoyed our cruise on the Solstice. This was our 5th Celebrity cruise since 2011. Overall the ship was great, food was great, service was good in the MDR and in the specialty restaurants. Itinerary was great too.
This was definitely the oldest group of passengers we have ever cruised with. We are just in our 50's and we were probably the youngest 15% of passengers. Just because the ...
We have cruised nearly 40 cruises. 17 on Celebrity. We traveled with 4 other couples. 3 from England and 1 from Minnesota. We are from Boston area and are 69 years old. We've been on this ship and all of the other sister ships in this class before. The ship is in excellent condition. There isn't a lot of action type attractions on this ship. We're not young but we're not dead. We still ...
I chose this cruise because the Solstice was rated 5.5 Star. I have mostly cruised on the Carnival Corps lines. I do own stock in both Carnival and RCL. This was my 1st try on Celebrity.
To Start I sent my stock statement to RCL Stockholder benefits 1 1/2 months before sail date. When I got on board my credit was not applied. I had to dig out my email that was sent on Feb 2nd along with ...
