We just returned from a 7-night Eastern Caribbean sailing on Celebrity Solstice during the busy Spring Break period. While we are seasoned cruise passengers, this was our first cruise with Celebrity. Our experience was a bit of a mixed bag with the following pros and cons:

PROs

The Solstice is a beautiful, new ship - we really enjoyed the comfortable public spaces, lovely interiors and distinctive appointments Celebrity also really deserves kudos for their food and entertainment. We mostly ate in the MDR, less frequently in Oceanview Cafe and once in Bistro on Five (a wonderful spot) and, honestly, we enjoyed everything that was served.

The entertainment was also topnotch - from the ship's performers to the special guest performers to the live musicians (some of the best we've ever heard at sea - especially Cheek-to-Cheek and party band Headliners). We also loved the Corning Museum Glass Blowing exhibitions - so educational and fascinating to watch. Read more
