I have to say that the Celebrity Soltice was one of the most beautiful ships I have sailed on. Celebrity really does work on making a wonderful cruise.

The Solstice signature is the Lawn Club which is green grass on the 15th deck. They have a lot of different activities and parties around this grass so it is well used. They also have a live tree growing in the middle of the ship. Not something you would expect on a cruise ship. The rooms have a night light to help people get to the bathroom at night. They have swiveling flat screen TV\'s that you can see from anywhere in the cabin.
They have an Entertainment court with a lot of entertainment going on. We did enjoy watching the many talented acts.

The food onboard was good and for a nominal charge you can go to specialty restaurants which had wonderful food.
The spa onboard was heavinly and I received alot of treatments and enjoyed them all.
I am glad that smoking is not allowed for the most part on the ship. You really do notice the difference especially since Europeans are known to smoke so much and there were quite a few Europeans onboard.

Overall a great cruise and I am looking forward to when I can cruise again on the Celebrity Solstice.

Embarkation:

As we had a suite onboard we had a private lounge to wait at until the ship was cleared. They served some really tasty cookies as well as water and punch. I could make reservation for specialty restaurants onboard and have it all taken care of before I boarded.
The boarding process only took 30 minutes.
Inside the ship is beautiful and we really liked the look and feel of everything.
Space in the pool and around the pool was definitely limited. Some people are so aggressive to reserve their lounge chairs as there were never enough. I went out early in the morning and already people had towels books and other items to hold their space. By the time I left they still hadn\'t even showed up while people were looking for a place to sit. Wish they would do a better job of supervising this.
The lawn club seemed like the wrong choice for a ship. It served no real purpose and it seemed like it wasn\'t fairing very well. I saw them replacing huge sections of grass. Guess some dies and then they just pull it out and put more in. You can\'t sit on it or walk on it all you can do is play bocce ball at certain times. Real waste of space if you ask me.
The room was nice and large but that is because we had a suite. No complaints everything was new except I found for this type of room the storage space could have been better.
If it was just for the above I would have given the Solstice a better review. The food service is what brought this cruise down for me.
The dining rooms were beautiful but the food was average at best. The waiters work hard in the dining room but we found that they didn\'t get orders right and didn\'t even know what was being offered on the menu. Some of them really tried hard but overall it was a miss. Even the specialty restaurants were not that good.
Overall the Solstice is a nice ship but the food would make me not want to return.

I really love the Solstice!

Our trip from Los Angeles was uneventful and we arrived into Fort Lauderdale the night before the cruise. In the morning we had a leisurely breakfast and made our way to the ship by 11:30am.
The embarkation process was easy and there was hardly a lineup. As this was a new ship for us we spent quite a while getting to know the ship.
Our room was wonderfull and we always enjoyed having a balcony. I like just going out at night sitting on the deck and having some wine before dinner. The room was well equipped and had plenty of storage space.
Dining onboard the Solstice was excellent and we enjoyed both the service and the food. I really recommend the Tuscan Grille. We went there 2 nights and both my wife and myself were quite happy.
The entertainment was wonderful I really liked their 3 main production shows - Solstice, Pulse and Ghost light. Definitely a strength for this cruise.
Service was good exceptional from some and average from others but none bad.
The Solstice itself was beautiful inside and I really liked the decor.
Overall a wonderfull cruise on the Solstice and we definitely would sail on her again.

I was one of the lucky ones that was allowed to partake on the Solstice Naming Cruise and I must say I really enjoyed it. We received a balcony stateroom and it was beautiful. Everything on the Solstice was new which I wasn't used to with a cruise. New furniture, sheets, towels etc. It all had that new smell. There was lots of storage throughout the room and we had no problem putting away all our clothes and luggage. The room has a refigerator which was nice as we like to store our water in there.
The buffet was the best I had seen. They had many different stations like Mexican, Sushi, Steaks etc and you just pick and choose what you want.
They had a naming ceremony onboard and of course the heads of RCCL were there on the cruise.

The shows onboard were excellent and we watched them both nights. My wife and I really enjoyed the Ghost of Broadway. Overall a spectacular cruise I just wish it was for longer.
