Celebrity Solstice Review
Rating by category
Additional details
My sister and I decided to take a cruise to escape the WI winter. We sailed on 1/17/10. I've only been on 2 cruises before--Celebrity and Norwegian and I knew I wanted to go on Celebrity again. My sister went along with this and I'm so glad we picked this cruise---it was great!!
Embarkation was a breeze. We took the free shuttle from our hotel (Rodeway Inn in Ft. Lauderdale---free shuttle to/from airport and/or cruise port---nice hotel with a "free" hot breakfast in the morning)and arrived around 11:30. We got rid of our bags and went through check in very quickly---no problems.
We headed up to the buffet and it was crowded, but people were willing to share tables and the food was really good! We didn't have a problem with no trays as the stations are set up in such a way that it's easy to go get your drink, then your food. Wait staff came around with coffee refills. Lots of choices of food---something for everyone.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Veranda 2C
Cabin was great. It's toward the back of the ship--kind of away from the midhip elevators, but we didn't mind the walk. Lots of storage---bathroom had a tall cupboard for storage. Room had storage under the bed for suitcases and many drawers and 2 large cupboards over the beds. Closet was roomy. Balcony got quite a bit of sun, which I liked. Shower was quite roomy with sliding glass shower doors. Beds were very comfortable.
