The Celebrity Solstice and its sister ship the Equinox are both great ships that cater to all passengers tastes and pockets. Having been on the Equinox twice, I still prefer it. The Solstice, being older, I believe is now ready for an overhaul. The service, the food and the staff were all outstanding. Normally< i am quick to criticize cruise ship food, but not this time. Most meals were good to excellent. The staff was polite but friendly. Well trained and eager to please.

Concierge class cabins on deck 10 were adequate falling on the side of smallish feel. Furniture still quite serviceable, but showing signs of wear. Door lock was quirky often requiring 2 or 3 attempts before opening

The ship itself generally is in good condition, albeit, it is begin to show its age (approx 6 yrs.) and it creaked and rumbled on rough sea days like an old wood vessel. Door to the balcony did not seal properly so wind sounds were heard on rough nights.

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 3

Cabin C3

Adequate, not overly roomy. Door to veranda did not seal properly. Toilet tissue quality extremely poor. Need to bring your own, like in the old days. Everything was very clean and the house keeping staff was friendly and helpful.
