Celebrity needs to get their act together

Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Celebrity Solstice

The pre-cruise hotel needs to be looked at. We arrived in Auckland late, the reservation the hotel had was for two nights (we only had it for one) and luckily, we had the paperwork to prove it. I asked at the desk where the Celebrity Representative desk would be in the morning because we had a transfer to the ship. All I got was a blank stare and was told to ask the Concierge in the morning. I ...

Solstice - no value for money

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We are a couple in our sixties and cruise a lot. The last years we tried several cruise companies just to compare them. We just got off a cruise on the Solstice and this was the worst value for money cruise we have ever taken. Embarkation in Auckland was a mess and lasted a few hours. The cabin and cabin stewards were fine. The food was not very good. Just average with very few choices in the ...

Having been on 10 cruises previously to different parts of the world with other cruise lines we were really looking forward to our trip to Australia which we booked about 2 years ago with the "5 star Celebrity Solstice".....what a disappointment to say the least. Unless you want to upgrade to the speciality restaruants or Aqua Class give it a miss. One of the chefs did a demonstration in the ...

I’ve been on numerous cruises and have never written a review before. Since it seems that people are more eager to share negative thoughts than positive, I thought it was about time I posted a review. This was our eighth Celebrity cruise and our second on the Solstice. All others were on M-class ships or the Xpedition (fabulous by the way). We did a 17-nt. New Zealand/Australia departing Feb. 8 ...

Very Disappointing

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We have just returned from our Australia Top End cruise feeling very disappointed by the experience because of the reasons listed: Dining Room: Almost every meal served was not hot, only warm, the meat being very tough and the fish very dry. On several occasions we returned our meals but in the end just gave up. We were served far better meals in pubs ashore and my wife even preferred a salmon ...

I was excited about travelling Solstice. The advertising and brochures highlighted a better quality experience. I must state that prior to this cruise in March 2015 I had sailed Diamond Princess ex Sydney in December 2014 and and Crown Princess ex Los Angeles in February 2015..All cruises I have paid for. The embarkation in Sydney was chaotic. WE waited 30 minutes to check in even though we were ...

A lot of reviews become TLDR (too long, didn't read), so I will try to keep this review as useful as possible and eliminate babble by categorizing my review. *About me* - 36 - female - married - no kids - loves: quiet, good food, good booze, minimalist luxury, doing excursions on my/our own ^ this should set the tone as to why I liked/disliked certain aspects of the ...

We had both the penthouses and often take our vacations on private yachts. We stay at 5 star hotels and fly first class or private. I am not saying this all to brag, but to let you know the demographic of this review. Overall, there are few vacations that get you better bang for your buck than cruises and it was very true for our cruise. For all the retirees that nick pick about little stuff, you ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was my first Celebrity cruise. Please excuse any mistakes in my English as I am not a native speaker. Embarkation: Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal Great location for a cruise terminal. You are right in the middle of everything and there are stunning views from the Sunset Bar upon sail away. No staggered boarding but it was very quick. Due to heavy rain it was no fun but that is not ...

We were persuaded by friends of ours to cruise as they have been doing it for years and found it really relaxing, we are an Australian couple in our 40s and 50s, I was looking forward to it but DH was a little anxious... We absolutely loved it, the rooms were a lot bigger than I expected with room for luggage under bed and a very functional shower and we were amazed at the sound proofing. We felt ...
