Just spent an amazing 19 days on an amazing Asian adventure! The whole thing was magical from start to finish! We visited some fabulous places- Halong Bay is a must in Vietnam. The elephant sanctuary in Koh Samui was a never to forget moment with such gracious creatures. Gardens by the Bay in Singapore was stunning. The Botancial gardens & orchid gardens are a definite must to visit- stunning displays! Eating with the locals in Hong Kong was delicious. Celebrity Solstice was a very friendly ship with staff that were very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. We had an obstructed cabin - with no obstruction- marvellous! The food onboard was a delicious varied menu. The waiters each evening were a delight and looked after us very well. A big shout out to Rouwl & Riaz. The martini bar was a huge entertainment zone each evening. The BBC as we named then - Bali boys club were a delight. They gave great service whilst entertaining us all with their tricks! The sunset bar was a fabulous spot and a shout out to Sharlene & Dwi- they looked after us well and we had some lovely chats with them. The entertainment in the theatre was excellent, singers, magic and dancing! All in all the best holiday ever!!!!

All fine other that incident where cupboard door 'held on with gaffa' tape came away from the cupboard. It was over the bed and I am not sure who thought replacing a hinge with tape was acceptable. Had we been in bed it could have caused a nasty injury.

Our third Celebrity cruise but the first for a few years. We enjoyed the whole experince so much that we have already booked a further two cruises with Celebrity, one of which will be on the newly refurbished Solstice. The service, the food, the whole ambience onboard was wonderful. Yes, you could tell that the ship needed a bit of TLC, but we knew beforehand that she was due for a refit. The itinerary is challenging as the major cities are miles away from the ports where you dock but you just need to be aware of this and go to bed early!
