Reviewer read

A strong ship by most measures. It falls behind on embarkation.

Celebrity Solstice rates higher overall than 73% of the ships we track. Disembarkation is its strongest showing. The weak spot is embarkation.

The one caution

8.3out of 10 for embarkation

Higher than only 40% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.44.

Of the 1,355 reviewers who wrote about it, 69% were positive.

Everything else, in three lines

One category rates in the top tenth of the fleet — disembarkation.

Nine are good without being remarkable: value, public areas, service, activities, ship quality, dining, fitness, entertainment and cabins. They rate higher than 59% to 80% of ships.

One falls below the fleet: embarkation (higher than only 40% of ships).

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 81 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.78 and 9.00. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
