Actual date was 5/8/2015, but Cruise Critic would not allow going back that far. It was to Alaska, not Australia. This was our first cruise and Alaska was on our bucket list. We didn't know what to expect, but now we're cruise addicts and have two more cruises booked. My wife is on a minimal protein diet, and everyone was most accommodating. Received a good deal on a veranda cabin, C3 - 1265, and ...
My husband and I took our daughter and her boyfriend on an Alaskan adventure! We are 51 and they are 28/32. I was surprised that they loved it so much! This was our experience:
Embarkation in Seattle was a breeze. We were on the ship in less than 20 min. We upgraded to Aqua class so there was an express line.
The Ship: Was clean and pretty. Its the biggest ship they allow in Alaska so doing ...
Hello! Thought I'd post my first review ever of my cruise experience onboard the Celebrity Soltice to Alaska on May 8th, 2015. Here goes nothing!!
We arrived at Pier 91 with high hopes, smiling faces, and a pocketful of kryptonite...
Embarkation was very smooth. The line for priority was shorter but not much different than when we arrived around 11.45. There was a slight delay with our kind ...
This was my first cruise and sailing to Alaska sounded different and exotic. It was all it was cracked up to be and I have now already booked two more cruises to follow. I decided on taking this cruise in May basically to get a cheaper fare. Had great weather, and actually no rain. I guess I was lucky, but it paid off. No crowds in port. I'd recommend taking the chance and go in May. The only ...
After waiting 2 months after a disasterous Constellation cruise, I have to say this cruise was FABULOUS.. It took that very, very bad taste out of my mouth and Alaska was awesome! It had been 6 years since my last cruise there and I am so glad I finally decided to go back. Weather was in the 50's/60's throughout the week and Mother Nature
shone down upon us with SUNNY days too...one small ...
The Solstice is one of the best designed cruise ships my wife and I have been on. However, the experience is significantly undermined by Celebrity's attitude to customers. Here are some of our stories.
1 the cruise itinerary showed a day of cruising the inside passage. However my wife and I were awoken to the ship rolling in 3-5 metre swells in the early hours of the inside passage day. The ship ...
We have about 40 cruises total, we love to cruise. We usually don’t comment on the cruises as everyone interprets a cruise in their own way. But when it could impact others …….we like to speak up . Hey no ship is perfect but easy things to fix should be fixed!!!
Cruise – Celebrity Solstice from Seattle – Alaska - and back to Seattle - Embarkation and Disembarkation relatively easy and better then ...
BACKGROUND: We are a couple in our 50s / 60s and live in the SF bay area and cruise as often as possible. We got hooked on cruising up in Alaska several years ago. This was our 8th time cruising up in Alaska and it never disappoints. We have been once in May but all the other sailings have been in September. We are always warned about the weather in Alaska in September but all but one time, we ...

This was our 16th cruise, the 6th with Celebrity. The cruise itself and ports of call were outstanding. Made more so by Brent Nixon whom we were privileged to have on board the entire cruise.
Embarkation process was a breeze, as opposed to the disembarkation which was delayed by 1 hour in Vancouver, our first ever experience of this. This caused us some concern as we had a post-tour booked ...
