Celebrity Solstice Full Review (2024): What We Loved, Didnβt Love, and Hated

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators provide a detailed review of their week-long Alaskan cruise aboard the Celebrity Solstice, categorizing their experiences into things they loved, did not love, and hated. They praise the ship's entertainment, including various theater shows, a silent disco, and an Abba sing-along. The food received mixed reviews; while they enjoyed the buffet variety, the spa cafe, and specific main dining room dishes, they criticized the slow service and inconsistent portion sizes in the main dining room. The concierge class offered exclusive perks like helipad access, though the creators felt the value did not justify the cost due to the quality of the champagne and the lack of information regarding delivered canapes. Significant criticisms were directed at the ship's physical upkeep, noting worn furniture and balcony rust. They also expressed frustration with the buffet, citing overcrowding, condensed hours, and broken beverage machines. Ultimately, the creators concluded that the ship did not meet the high standards of the Celebrity brand, awarding it a rating of two and a half to three out of five stars.
