Celebrity Solstice, North America
5
This is our third cruise with celebrity and once again brilliant service, ship and entertainment. It is the first cruise since I’ve developed a dairy allergy and I did struggle at first to find food I could eat that I was sure I wouldn’t have a reaction to. There was no food labelled as vegan which I knew I could safely eat. Our restaurant however, if I gave them my choices the night before, the could prepare my meal dairy free and the made a surprise sweet each night for me. I was disappointed there was no vegan ice cream in the buffet or vegan cakes so I couldn’t have a treat during the day. Our staff member for our rooms did provide non dairy canapés on an afternoon but mostly was shellfish which I don’t like but my husband enjoyed. I will feed back directly about the food.
The entertainment was outstanding, from cabaret, comedy, to magic.
The jewellery talks were really informative and I did end up buying a very bling sapphire ring. I love it. There was so much choice to do while at sea you were spoilt. We did take part at an extra cost in Deal or no deal. It was really good fun and definitely worth the gamble. A free cruise was up for grabs as well as cash prizes and vouchers for the casino.
Our shore excursions, especially the one in Puerto Vallarta were very good though we would have liked an extra half hour to walk along the promenade as there was some lovely sculptures and street art.
Overall this was an excellent cruise and I would really recommend.
