Celebrity Solstice Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

The ship was excellent and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. The only detractors were the distances from port to excursion destinations for a few places. 2-3 hour journey times were often the case. We didn’t go to Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh because of this. Instead we spent an overnight in Pattaya which wa only 40 minutes in a taxi (£8 on a Grab taxi rather than the $60 US the taxis were looking ...

The Good … 1. the staff were wonderful especially Angelyn, Leo, Gerald & Christanto!! 2. The ship is beautiful, especially the atrium & the main dining room. Alot of thought went into the decor & it look’s expensive. 3. our bed was so comfortable & the room was really nice. I know alot moaned that it was tired & due a refurb but we didn’t notice. 4. The food selection was really ...

Just returned from Far East cruise on Solstice. I have sailed with Celbrity a couple of times before and was happy with those cruises, so content to use them again. Solstice though is a ship in real need of updating and refurbishment as looking very dated and shabby in parts. Had a balcony cabin that was kept very clean by a great attendant (Jovie) and she also ensured we were happy with ...

This was our 14 th cruise with various lines but our first with celebrity. We did 3 nights in Singapore at the beginning of our cruise and added 3nights in Hongkong after the cruise. Certainly Hongkong is a must see city worthy of anyone’s wish list.Having said that so is Singapore. The cruise was everything we could have hoped for .Cabin was concierge deck 9 with good size balcony.Solstice ...

Good points: - Good selection of food in the buffet restaurant and at lunchtime in the Epernay restaurant. - Some of the music in the bars - especially The Storytellers. - The Martini bar and its staff - hugely entertaining and friendly. - Tuscan Grill speciality restaurant food and service. Excellent and substantial dishes. - The pool and jacuzzis. - Our balcony cabin - ...

Because of Covid this cruise was cancelled 3 years for us, but the Celebrity Lift and Shift deal gave us the opportunity to sail this cruise with same benefits as booked in 2000. Ship itself is nice, sails quiet and stable. Cabin is a bit outdated but still very comfortable. Bed/matress however was hard compared withn our last cruise with the Solstice and Eclipse. To be replaced? Cabin steward ...

Joined the ship in Singapore, embarkation a bit clunky not as smooth as others we’ve experienced but overall ok. Luggage delivered promptly and all in tact. We had a balcony stateroom on deck 8, pleasantly surprised by the size and particularly the shower was much better than many, plenty of room. Lots of storage in our room, AC worked well, spacious balcony with comfortable chairs, very large ...

We are on a cruise in Asia from Singapore to Hong Kong and have to describe the experience as distinctly average. The staff are great and the food is plentiful. The boat is ok if a little old fashioned and frayed at the edges. However what we found quite remarkable is how things you would expect to be part of an expensive all exclusive package are extras. Wow do they know how to charge: ...

Wanted to visit this part of Asia. Started off in Singapore with 2 nights in a hotel, loved it but very expensive. Arrived on Solstice and first impressions was she is getting old and quite run down. Cabin furniture old and worn and balcony really shabby - chairs not at all inviting. Beds were comfortable and linen clean. Most of the ports we stopped at were industrial, with a couple in ...

We wanted to escape our winter weather, and this was a desired return visit to a prior war zone for one of us. We also wanted to try a Celebrity cruise, to compare it to the others we have done. Embarkation was chaotic, and we were initially herded to the wrong line, for people not needing Vietnam visas. Our cabin had a good sized veranda, and an average sized room. We were dismayed to ...
