1-10 of 15 Asia Celebrity Solstice Asia Cruise Reviews
Wanted to visit this part of Asia.
Started off in Singapore with 2 nights in a hotel, loved it but very expensive.
Arrived on Solstice and first impressions was she is getting old and quite run down. Cabin furniture old and worn and balcony really shabby - chairs not at all inviting. Beds were comfortable and linen clean.
Most of the ports we stopped at were industrial, with a couple in ...
Joined the ship in Singapore, embarkation a bit clunky not as smooth as others we’ve experienced but overall ok. Luggage delivered promptly and all in tact.
We had a balcony stateroom on deck 8, pleasantly surprised by the size and particularly the shower was much better than many, plenty of room. Lots of storage in our room, AC worked well, spacious balcony with comfortable chairs, very large ...
We wanted to escape our winter weather, and this was a desired return visit to a prior war zone for one of us. We also wanted to try a Celebrity cruise, to compare it to the others we have done.
Embarkation was chaotic, and we were initially herded to the wrong line, for people not needing Vietnam visas.
Our cabin had a good sized veranda, and an average sized room. We were dismayed to ...
My sister selected this cruise for my 70th birthday celebration. The staff in the Oceanview Dining Room and our Room Attendant Matt were good, they made the cruise enjoyable. The New Year Eve’s party was good except there were no Appetizers or Drinks, we had to purchase drinks all night. Champagne was served at midnight. One day I left my Fanny Pack in the 14th Floor bathroom, the handbag/purse ...
Once we saw Celebrity sailing out of LA we quickly booked B2B - itinerary was all new as we had not sailed the Pacific coast before. We like the S class ship and we were pleasantly surprised after reading poor reviews about her condition - I mainly was distracted by the number of windows that need replacing but other than that she is of the classic sailing ship decor in many places but not ...
We chose this back to back cruise because we had never been to Australia or New Zealand before and it was my husband's retirement year so we now had the opportunity.
We firstly travelled to Dubai where we spent two nights and then Singapore where we also spent two nights before embarkation. The embarkation took hours and I began to wonder how it would be getting on and off at the ports later ...
Chose this cruise as a great way of getting to Sydney after a four day holiday in Singapore.
Positives of this ship are:
Very good sized bathroom with ample storage for you toiletries. Great shower quite large with a glass screen.
Excellent food and service in the main dining room and I will stick my neck out here and say it is better than Cunard's Queens Grill. We are frequent Qunarders ...
This was my fifth Celebrity cruise, the third on Solstice. Embarkation in Singapore was a disaster - huge queues and no one really seemed to know which line was which. I'm not sure if that was a Celebrity thing or if it was because of Singapore customs.
Despite having had a multi multi million dollar refurbishment in Singapore right before we embarked it was hard to see. Sure, they have a ...
This was a great cruise up to when we contacted the cough and flu like symptoms. Why oh why do people not cover their mouth and noses when the cough or sneeze. In fact one lady sprayed me in the restaurant at breakfast when she sneezed. The illness we picked up spoiled the last 5 days of the cruise We are back on board Solstice on Dec 9th and hope we don't catch it again
The ...
We had already had a nice long cruise earlier in the year but this one was too cheap to pass over. We had also cruised on Solstice in late 2015 after usually cruising Princess and found it refreshing to sail on a modern spacious ship with a younger passenger list. Ship's staff were very friendly, efficient and mostly went out of their way to help but in the Oceanview Buffet, we thought some were ...
