Minniebug Posted May 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'm still not sure if the Solstice currently cruising in Alaska has been refurbished, even though I was told she was by two different celebrity customer service folks. Nothing online on their website. Anyone currently cruising to enlighten us?😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbiker97 Posted May 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Solstice has not undergone the revolution like Silouhette has (and Equinox partially has). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted May 12, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The Solstice has not been revolutionized, The pandemic stopped all future refurbishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare terrydtx Posted May 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Seems like the Celebrity CS reps are either not trained, are uninformed or just out and out lying to get people to book. The Revolutionizing project has been on permanent hold since the 2020 shut downs from Covid. Some rumors are 2024 is the earliest the project may resume, if ever.

dgoz Posted May 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2022 When you look at old videos and the newest one they put out in April, it does seem like some of the staterooms have been refurbished with new soft goods. But no full revolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fly and Sail Posted May 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Nothing has been done on Solstice. I'm on it right now and this ship is patchwork wherever you take a detailed look. My AQ cabin had three severe defects within one week. They still use magnet striped key cards that have to be replaced every 2-3 days because either the foil with the data peels off or other faults. I wouldn't book it again until it has undergone substantial renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefchick Posted May 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Fly and Sail….I board the Solstice tomorrow and you are clearly not having the best cruise….My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary, is there anything you enjoyed this week that we can look forward to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted May 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 12, 2022 All the rep has to do is look at a picture of the ship. If the hull is white, it hasn't been touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was of the understanding that they were replacing the veranda furniture when we last cruised on here in 2019. Didn't look like it. They may have given the cushions a clean? Still, doesn't take away that beautiful feeling of sailing on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably I'm having a strain of bad luck but I went to Alaska for fresh air and some nice scenery so I'm happy with that. The weather was perfect, I enjoyed every moment that I could focus on the nature so my recommendation would be to enjoy your time at the destinations and treat the ship like a hotel. Of course this was the first sailing of Solstice and I feel like they used the pax this week as guinea pigs to get up to speed (at our expense). You should have a better experience tomorrow onward. Happy anniversary and bon voyage! PS: Don't expect the wifi to work, no matter what package you have - it was a disaster! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Eclipse does as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hull had to be taken care of to avoid the barnacle issue which Eclipse now faces despite all the measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooden footing in front of the closet was broken and loose. The common areas were in good shape and we had a great cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got back from the 5/6 sailing. Funny, the last ship & destination we sailed to was AK and on the same ship 14 years ago! Had a fab time and loved it being 1/2 full. Yes, it would have been nice to have the upgrades but the VIEWS!!! That is what you go to AK for. Never went to a show! We had a 10 top table to ourselves!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
