Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Solstice
Solstice is an older ship probably due for some refurbishment. Our balcony cabin was clean and comfortable. The buffet restaurant offered excellent choice and there was never any difficulty getting a table. The food in the main dining restaurant was good but we had to queue a while most days for dinner. At lunchtime you were crammed together in a corner to save the waiters walking any distance. This increased the risk of of Covid and was uncomfortable on a table for two as you were so close to your neighbours. The celebrity brand is all about upgrading and paying more. The included Wi-Fi was very limited and only allowed use of one device at a time. There was up selling of the drinks package which we did not find necessary. The basic drinks package offers a good selection . There are quite a few restaurants you cannot go unless your aqua class, have a suite or pay a supplement. This left the feeling of being a slightly second class citizen which is something I dislike. The itinerary was good, the shows an board were varied. Love the timing of the shows which allowed us to watch the 7 pm show first then have dinner later, (something that you often cannot do on other cruise lines). Really enjoyed the expert on board and her talks about the Alaskan wildlife - excellent lectures. The Captain announced one percent of passengers had Covid on board. There were very few Covid safeguards. We tested positive as soon as we got home as did others. It is difficult to avoid when mixing with but celebrity could definitely have some better safeguarding such as spacing the dining tables, masks in elevators and encouraging people not to share outside their group.

Amazing ship upgrade & itinerary
The best of Edge series has come to the Solstice class in this revamp of Solstice. A great itinerary of Bali & Australian ports. The best celebrity service on board from staff who remember you & your favourite requests. Can’t wait to see the other Solstice class ships get similar facelifts. Would definitely repeat this itinerary & any others on the Celebrity Solstice.

Reviews Beautiful Ship spoilt by so called balcony
Beautiful Ship spoilt by so called balcony
Celebrity Ascent is a beautiful ship but the set up for an Infinity Balcony spoilt it .The balcony is more like an extension to the stateroom. rather than a balcony We were 5 couples travelling together and in the past able to communicate with each other from our balconies which we weren’t able to do Being on a cruise round the Caribbean it would have been better to have an open balcony . I can understand it might be useful if sailing in bad weather but it spoilt our experience and several fellow passengers agreed with us. Also the Main Dining room was very very very dark and as there were 10 of us on a table it spoiled our enjoyment of dinner, not really being able to communicate very well with each other especially one of our party who wears hearing aids and lip reads.Excellent service and otherwise lovely surroundings Just a shame marred by these 2 issues.

Reviews We loved our first cruise on Celebrity Solstice.
We loved our first cruise on Celebrity Solstice.
Celebrity Solstice gad just undergone a major refurbishment when we sailed on her on 2nd March 2026. Everything felt new and fresh. The food was great in the main dining room, and the buffet was one of the best I've experienced on a cruise. Entertainment was ok, nothing spectacular, but we still enjoyed it. The bars were never too busy, and we never waited more than 5 mins for a drink. Balcony cabin was spacious and felt new after the refurb. Staff very good in all areas. This was our first time sailing with Celebrity, and we really enjoyed our Thailand-Vietnam cruise on Solstice.

Fantastic
A short 4 night cruise which we really enjoyed. Had an interior room which was more spacious than we thought it would be. The food was really good with lots of choice. The crew were all lovely and very helpful. Lovely ship, and always something to do if you wanted to.
