Celebrity Solstice Cruise Reviews for Fitness to Alaska

Our cruise to Alaska was very special and Celebrity did everything they could to make sure guests were well cared for. While other cruiselines are taking things away from the cruise experience, Celebrity seems to be finding ways to constantly improve and add to the guest experience. The food and service in the main diningroom as well as in the buffet was excellent. Also, the specialty ...

Review: July 28th Sailing of the Celebrity Solstice. To begin: I have sailed in riverboats on the Rhine, as well as on the Fair Princess, the HAL Ryndam, the Constellation, Eclipse and Infinity. This was my first cruise since 2014. It had been cancelled several times due to health problems in the family and the Covid issues. My personal rating of this cruise is six out of ten. It would have ...

The 2023 President Cruise was abso-tively 'over-the-top'. This was my third time on SOLSTICE, my very FIRST cruise aboard Celebrity was on her in 2010 and she's as fresh appearing as I recall (and I have a great memory!). It was another (my 25th aboard Celebrity ships) Xcellent sailing. Service is unwaveringly Xceptional. As was the food. Ditto for entertainment. This frequent ...

We went on our first Alaska cruise September of 2021 when the Celebrity Millineum had only 600 passengers - (first cruises after Covid). It was great with less people, but some places were closed due to covid like Canada. We decided to return to Alaska this May, as it is easy to travel there living in the Northwest. The ship was most likely at full capacity this time. Our only problem was ...

I decided to take the plunge and book a cruise to Alaska as my first cruise ever. Glad I did. I didn't mind the ship was older. I don't need all the fancy "bells and whistles". My room was clean. I liked all the activities provided. Food was good. Loved all the excursions that I did. Loved all the ports that the ship stopped at. I'd book another cruise with celebrity! Everyone on ...

I've been on other AK cruises with Holland and Princess, but we decided to try Celebrity this time. The AK cruise is easy from Northern CA, at least it was before Covid. This time we flew to Seattle 2 days early, because there have been so many delays on airlines. We stayed one night in Tacoma and one night in the Belltown area of Seattle. My 41 year old daughter was traveling with me, this was ...

This cruise was rescheduled from the summer of 2020. This was my 4th Alaskan cruise on the Solstice with previous cruises 2016-2018. I was told there were 2600 passengers on the ship not quite full capacity. We completed all of our onboard information online in advance of the cruise. This was our 7th Alaskan cruise out of Seattle. Embarkation was very chaotic. We arrived at our scheduled time. Our ...

I got a lot of great info from this site before my vacation so I want to try to share my experience and help others as well. This was a twice-rescheduled family cruise (myself and my sister and our parents and spouses) that we were originally going to do in 2020. So happy we finally got to go! My parents, who have cruised before, picked the ship and the itinerary. I have to admit I thought I ...

We had booked this cruise originally for July 2020; however, cancelled twice due to COVID pandemic. Happy to say we were finally able to cruise this time. Embarkation in Seattle (Smith Cove - Pier 91) was easy. We flew into Seattle the day before and stayed at Hotel Sorrento ... a historic Seattle hotel about a 15 minute taxi ride to the port. We arrived at the port at approximately 10:30 ...

We’d done an Alaska cruise 5 years ago and thought it would be fantastic for our kids and grandkids, so we booked 4 SRs for all and took all. It is a perfect itinerary for the 3 generations. Boarding was Very Smooth. Next to us was the RCL ship and it had a line that ran the length of the dock while Celebrity had us just walk in, go through a bit of a line and all went well.Works when we show ...
