Celebrity Solstice Review

Additional details
We flew to Sydney and spent 4 days prior to the cruise. We had a great day in Canberra, but, if we had to do it over, we would have added a Blue Mountains excursion from Sydney. We explored the city, saw Henry V at the Opera House, went to Bondi Beach to see the sculptures by the Sea and did a lot of other things. Sydney is a wonderful place with a great population of friendly, diverse people.
Embarkation was complicated by construction around the Overseas Cruise Terminal. Celebrity coped well and it was a smooth process. The ship was really, really nice. It was one of the very best we've cruised.
Our balcony room was terrific.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Veranda 1C
Everything worked well. The balcony was great. The bathroom was very nice and had good storage. The bed was comfortable and the heating/cooling worked quietly and perfectly. Our room steward was very nice and very good at his job. However, the purpose of the refrigerator was to sell things, not to provide us a useful appliance for our needs. Ice was not provided except on demand. We never asked for it. Room service was a 10 out of 10. It could not have been better.
