1-10 of 540 Celebrity Solstice Romantic Cruises Reviews
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Three generations including ten grandkids, 2 to 13 years. This was an ideal itinerary getting Texans out of the summer heat and seeing sights even many of the adult kids had never experienced. Celebrity has a good kids program and that was a major benefit.
Ship size was a compromise--large enough to have multiple activities and not so huge that there are no intimate spaces.
Ship was full ...
We had been on Celebrity before a couple of years ago but had done a second Marella Cruise in January which we thought had gone downhill so back to Celebrity. Alaska was on our bucket list. Not the fault of Celebrity but Seattle Airport is the pits. Queues so long we had to go down the escalator, round the block and back up stairs before we even got to the main queue so would never go back ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and May sailing. The ship overall is very clean and pretty but is showing a little bit of wear and age. The crew is excellent and really makes this ship special. Our room steward was the best we have had on ten plus cruises. The staff in the Blu restaurant were excellent and the food overall was very good and wonderfully presented. The buffet was very ...
We just thought to try it once and see if it was for us. We had a good experience for most things except for the cost of buying cappuccino in the morning. It was so disappointing and distasteful that we poured it down the drain and said we will never buy it again. It cost about $9 each, what in the world for. What were we to spend the on board credit for? I sure didn't know and who to turn to ...
Things we liked: wonderful boat and amenities, the crew was kind and hard-working, and the food was good for the most part. The ports were great and we liked the setup of the ship. Service and food in Murano was exceptional, best place to eat by a long shot.
Things we didn't like: service in MDR was very rushed, we felt hustled along to order and eat, food was good though. Service in Tuscan ...
So Alaska was a bucket list cruise. The chance to revisit Vancouver and a first time visit to Seattle was too good to pass up. Everything about this itinerary was amazing and after a few spots of rain for about 30 minutes in Ketchikan, it was mostly blue skies and warmth throughout. Could not have conjured up better weather.
Fantastic stay in Auberge hotel just 5 minute walk to the port in ...
