We were really looking forward to this 6th cruise for us. Overall it is a very nice well laid out ship but the staff did not make this cruise an enjoyable experience. Embarkation was OK but very busy. The cabins were ready almost straight away. We missed one of our ports because of a cyclone and the captain dealt with this situation very well. The excursions were expensive as always with big ...
We chose this Cruise as other family members were going and we had had such a magical cruise in October 2017 in relocation from Hawaii to Sydney, we thought we couldn't go wrong. Well it has been such a disappointment. Cabin (along with a lot of other areas) need a big revamp. Staff are overworked, allocated too many tables in main dinning room that service is random at times, guest relations ...
We sailed on the Great Barrier Reef cruise in March/April 2018. Overall, it was a great experience. Since we were in a suite, we had access to Luminae which delivered some of the best food I've tasted on a cruise. The service all over the ship was top-notch and we loved our butler Jacky. We thought the ship was well-maintained with plenty of outdoor areas to enjoy. The nightly entertainment was ...
We had such high expectations of celebrity cruises after being recomended by friends and our travel agent. This was Our fourth cruise and had done NCL and Royal Caribbean before and had been told celebrity was higher grade. We were immediately disappointed with the condition of the ship. We had a balcony cabin that was out dated with old fashioned curtains and grubby appearance. We named the cafe ...
This was our first cruise with Celebrity, previously we have sailed with Princess in the Mediterranean. Staff on the whole are very friendly and helpful, especially those in the buffet and shops. Our room attendant was great, always a lovely clean cabin.
Cabin was great. Loved having the bed beside the balcony and being able to lie in bed and look out at the sea. Good size bathroom. Great ...
We have been on Solstice three times now and it is looking a little tired. It could do with a refurbishment. Overall, the service and staff were amazing. The food can be a little repetitive and at times boring. There was a lack of activities with most centred around designer jewellery or art auction - these don’t appeal to most. The cabin is spacious and it is great having free on demand movies. ...
We recently sailed on the Celebrity Solstice to Australia and the Great Barrier Reef. We've sailed with Celebrity many times, the last one before this being March 2016. I found the ship quite beautiful, with a lovely atrium. But I'm writing to warn travelers of some important points.
1) They do not have outlets by the bed. There are 3 outlets by the desk -- two with American plugs, one with ...
We sailed on Solstice 30 March from Sydney to the GBR and back over 12 nights
This was our first ever cruise and we chose well – people we spoke to onboard said we had chosen the best cruise company to go with
We did a lot of research before choosing this cruise and chose it because of the itinerary and because Celebrity seemed more of a ‘grown up’ cruise catering more for adults than ...
Solstice is beautiful with the friendliest, most caring, attentive and helpful crew ever experienced. The food was good with huge helpings in the dining room and the waiters were ever so obliging. The live shows featured first class entertainment- best ever and very varied ranging from the fantastic Solstice singers/ dancers to very funny comedians. The ship is spotless with everything in the ...
This is our second time on the Solstice and like last year, the price dropped for this same cruise out to the islands and so a group of us bought a cabin.
Overall we loved the luxury of this ship from the cabins to the public spaces. Whilst the weather may not have been so forgiving, it was just good to sail on this ship. We also love the level of service we receive from the crew. They are well ...
