Editorial Summary

The creators provide a scorecard review of the Celebrity Solstice following a ten night Hawaiian cruise. They describe the embarkation process in Honolulu as smooth and efficient, though they noted that disembarkation was delayed and crowded. Regarding onboard amenities, the reviewers mention that the ship features three pools, noting that the indoor solarium becomes very crowded during cooler weather. Service quality was described as mixed, with some staff members being highly attentive while others appeared indifferent. The dining experience received varied feedback; while the main dining room food quality was considered a disappointment, the specialty restaurants like Tuscan Grill and Silk Harvest were highly recommended. Entertainment options were plentiful, including theater productions, live music, and interactive game shows like Liars Club. The reviewers observed that the stateroom showed signs of wear and tear, specifically noting dated furniture and cramped space in their balcony cabin. Despite these issues, they concluded that the ship remains a solid option for regions like Alaska or Australia due to its well maintained public areas and diverse activity offerings.

Creator's Key Takeaways

our first crews on board Celebrity Solstice was back in 2014 for a seven night Alaskan cruise

service on Celebrity Solstice was a bit mix during this recent trip some staff did provide the service we expected whereas others seemed a bit indifferent or tired

one surprising letdown was the food quality in the dining room we both felt that the food did not live up to celebrities typical standards

the highlight of our cruise was cafe al ba Keo which we visited multiple times a day for our coffees and a few sweet treats
