Ladies and Gentlemen
I was really looking forward to sailing with Celebrity and better yet, aboard their new vessel Solstice. I have to say that the vessel is extremely elegant. A very high end South Beach type of decor ... and basically that's the good news (besides being 99 % non smoking ship).
The bad news is that the vessel has no flow, very chopped up and not inviting. The crew seems un happy and their command of the english language wasn't that great.
We were in cabin 7362 considered Ocean View "O8". The Cabins claim to be designed by women ... I think the only idea they used was the foot rest in the shower to shave their legs. The cabins are SMALL ... very Small .. again nicely appointed but no drawer space. The shower is larger but there is no hand held shower head and pressure is poor so you don't feel like you got all the soap off of you. The toilet paper holder is impossible to use and we had to take it off the roller ... perhaps Too much info !
The balconies are equally small. We had 3 adjouring cabins in the stern (which is a LONG walk from the nearest
elevator) and the only good news was that you can create a larger balcony which came in handy as when we couldnt get a lounge chair which was often. The Plasma TV had very limited stations but lots of decent free on demand movies.
As to the Poop Smell ... my inlaws cabin were in the Conceirge Class Room 1093 ... and it stunk like Elephant
Poop! There were several areas on the ship that had this smell.
