Celebrity Solstice Review

Additional details
Just returned from a wonderful experience aboard the Solstice on it's Summer Alaska itinerary. This is truely a bucket list experience. The only way to see this part of Alaska is by water. Weather was generally good. Seasonal temps, bring a jacket, and only rainy in Skagway in the afternoon. This is my second experience on this itinerary and it was just as enjoyable as the first time. Have cruised many times but not on Celebrity since early 2000.
The ship was one of the best designs I've been on. Althought full, it did not feel crowded at all. Generally found a table at breakfast and never waited for our table for two at dinner in the main dinning room with Celebrity Select dinning option.
Food options at the buffet breakfast/lunch were good. It didn't vary much each day but so many choices you had plenty of variety just by trying different things each day. Had luch in Aqua Spa a couple of days and it was nice. Did not try the specialty venues. Heard good things but didn't want to spend the money and the Main dinning room was very good.
Cabin Review
Cabin was very nice. It's great to have a balcony on this trip as so much happens outside. It's nice to be able to go out and see it. In port it was warm enough but underway it was often too chilly to sit there. Only complaint was closet. Plenty of hangers but configuation of doors to closet made it tight to get into the closet. Bathroom had a wonderful shower and water pressure was good. Bed was fine as were the pillows. Agus our room steward was always on top of things and we often had coffee delivered to the room in the morning to sit and watch the scenery pass by before breakfast.
