Onboard Experience:
If you already like Celebrity you will love Solstice. Is it too big?
Is the Hearst Castle too big? Size is relative and in many ways
Solstice is like a roomier version of the Celebrity
Millennium-class. The designers more than compensated for the larger
capacity, making her the perfect size - alive with activities but
never too crowded.
Solstice is also beautiful with many of the same features that
make the Millennium class appealing. There are long drapes cascading
down from three decks above to frame the Grand Foyer staircase.
There is a beautiful chandelier in the dining room while the
alternative dining spots are generously apportioned with plenty of
space between the tables.
The vast majority of staterooms have balconies, and they average
15% larger than other Celebrity ships, Most of the extra room is
given over to the bathroom where there is enough room for two people
to get ready for dinner. The large showers feature sliding doors
rather than plastic curtains that hug against you and there is more
storage than most cruise ships.
