With 3000 passengers it did not feel crowded. I don't know how they did it but the solstice-class is a winner. The crew was always courteous and sincere- from the first day to the last day. Entertainment and food was a 10. The music groups were well chosen for the fifties age group. Some solo guitar, some groups. The cruise director was a hoot and just comical enough to be real. The food in the dining room was excellent as was the service. My wife is a Vegan and she felt there were not enough choices in the restaurant but at the buffet she was able to find everything she wanted. The security was present but not obvious. The drink package was fun and we enjoyed the banana daquirais immensely.The on board lectures were interesting and the Q and A with the capt and hotel manager were very informative. They did not stop until every question was answered. We will definately choose Celebrity again.
