What Travelers Say About Celebrity Solstice
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Celebrity Solstice sailing. Based on 2,000 discussions.
Celebrity Solstice is the lead ship of Celebrity's Solstice class (2008) and, after a March 2026 relaunch as the first ship in the line's $250 million class-wide makeover, presents itself as a refreshed premium-tier ship for travelers who prize calm elegance over high-energy spectacle. Its most famous feature, the half-acre of real grass on the top-deck Lawn Club, has been retired and reimagined as Sunset Park, an open-air sundeck with turf lawn games, live music, cabanas, and an expanded bar. The vibe is refined and adult-leaning, with tasteful décor, a serene plant-filled Solarium, and a heavy emphasis on service.
What People Love
- Freshly modernized in the 2026 $250M Solstice-class refurbishment, leaving the ship bright and well-appointed throughout
- Standout fine dining, especially Murano's tableside French service, repeatedly ranked among the best meals at sea
- Attentive, polished crew and a generous crew-to-guest ratio that keeps service personal
Common Complaints
- Loss of the iconic real-grass Lawn Club, replaced by artificial-turf Sunset Park, disappoints longtime fans
- Wi-Fi remains sluggish despite the Starlink upgrade
- Included dining feels narrowed post-pandemic, with the best food behind extra-cost specialty restaurants
