Love your pictures. Thinking about this cruise for 2017.

Quick peak into the iLounge

 

 

Now for a visit to the Molecular Bar

 

Other people have posted that some Molecular bars only have 5 drinks on the menu, on this Solstice cruise the full menu was available but they didn't have any liquid nitrogen for the Dragon Fly. Loida the bartender was amazing (I hope I remembered her name correctly) she even made drinks for us not on the menu.

Back to our room to change for dinner and we see our beds have now been separated for us, room steward was excellent his name was Lukas.

 

 

 

Now off we go to dinner we had select dining but went almost the same time every night so we always had Joey and Christian serving us and Rolando the Sommelier were all fantastic...

 

 

Night one menu (I didn't pay too much attention to taking photos of the menus so they are not that good but you should be able to make out the items)

Thank you for a very interesting thread, looking forward to the rest. After one cruise on Equinox we are now looking at Solstice for Alaska next.

Loving this. Our cruise isn't until Sept 11. I LOVE the anticipation. This will be my first Celebrity cruise. Celebrity cruisers seem very loyal. Only my second cruise ever, too. Both Alaska. Such beauty. Looking forward to more [emoji41][emoji41]

Excellent so far! Love your pictures. Keep em comin' please

[loupana]

Ok, before I get back to business I want to thank all of you for the kind comments...I'm doing this because I was looking for a photo review before my cruise and there wasn't very many, so I thought there were more people like me that are looking for the same...

Heartbeat of the Operation

 

 

Chefs that will be taking groups of us on tour...

 

 

We had Chef Bruno, he was excellent and very funny...

 

 

Signage on the doors leaving the kitchen reminding servers to smile...

Menu items posted for servers to know what they should look like and what ingredients are in each serving, I'm only posting one photo but I took three and I'm sure i didn't get everything. They have lots of items to memorize.

A peak into the Refrigerators with deserts prepared...

Food displays setup after the tour to persuade you into booking a specialty restaurant. It worked we booked Tuscan Grille for lunch, note to everyone, we initially said NO to the $25 lunch cover change and they said we could have it for $20. Lunch was booked for Day 4 because we don't arrive in Juneau till 1:30PM

 

Bistro on FIVE display

We then went to the Main Dining Room for lunch
