Celebrity Solstice Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

The food in Cafe Blu was horrible. I am a plant eater mostly. My choices were limited and tasteless. My husband found the meats in the Ocean View Cafe to be over cooked. I have noticed on our last 3 cruises with Celebrity that the quality of food has gone down. The entertainment has always been slow, but enjoyable. However, during this cruise the entertainment was unimaginative. I felt like the ...

We booked Aqua class, as had done several times before. Not worth it, and for much less, you get almost the same in other categories, like Veranda or Concierge. Blu restaurant was always full, had to wait 15-20 minutes every evening, no matter what time we arrived. Breakfast is available between 7.30 and 9. Good but very slow. Seems they are short on personnel. Menu not as good as it used to ...

Beware, came on healthy, left with covid! Food was awful! They broke my luggage as well. Value of 250. Gave me a cheap bottle of champagne to compensate me. The food was so salty. Every time I ate it my feet and hands were swollen. Also went down to get medicine and I asked the nurse if there were people on board with covid and she said yes. I asked her to give me the symptoms of covid and ...

Where do I begin...First let me say that the weather was perfect, normally supposed to be raining this time of year but we got super lucky and it was sunny and 60's the whole time. Second, Alaska is AMAZING!!! This trip was the Dawes glacier cruise out of Seattle. Everywhere we went was amazing. Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway were incredible ports. Now for the cruise ship, deep breath... The ...

My husband and I are in our late-30's/mid-40's, and we have been on 10+ cruises together. Our last cruise was in December 2019. This was our first post-Covid cruise. Also, our only other Celebrity cruise was back in 2015, and it was out of the Mediterranean. This was our first time taking a Celebrity cruise out of the States. Pre-Cruise: We stayed two nights at an Airbnb in the Belmont Shore ...

First off I must say the crew was wonderful. The finest ever and very nice. We had sailed on Celebrity many times before Covid and really liked it. I especially remembered the warm welcome as they handed us a glass of champagne….but that was several years ago. Not anymore! Embarkation was a mess. Very confusing. You had to drop your luggage off at the ship, then go to a different parking lot ...

Close by, my birthday and value was the reason for choosing this cruise to Cabo. We have enjoyed this class of ship and Celebrity in general before- pre covid.Times have changed - the food was just terrible.It didn't make any difference where or when you ate, it was all the same problem. Bottom line, it is clear they have cut the food budget. Think they were getting complaints at sea on ...

A cruise where you cannot sit outside on a deck and relax is not a cruise. The loud music that was incessantly played by the pool pervaded every area of the deck. No one seemed to enjoy the music except maybe the crew. It was this weird techno rap with an annoying beat. You could not escape it as it was turned up to the max. The only reprieve was port days. The second we stopped in mazatlan we ...

My wife and I have cruised four times before. Twice op Carnival and twice on NCL. We were very excited to book our first Celebrity cruise, however I have to say the experience definitely didn't match the hype! Like other posters have said, the ship is somewhat outdated, but overall we thought the ship held up pretty well for its age. For us the dining was a disaster! We ate in the dining room ...

My wife and I were not the typical cruisers on our recent sailing. We’re both in our late 30s, have traveled the world independently, and are interested in really getting to know a place and its people. I was really disappointed in both the vibe onboard the ship in tandem with the extreme tourist-ification of our ports of call. We did not partake in any of the shore excursions, instead planning ...
