Boarding the Celebrity Solstice
After spending a couple of nights at the River Rock Casino Resort near Vancouver International Airport, we took the Canada Line SkyTrain to Canada Place. Boarding the Celebrity Solstice was quick and easy, giving us plenty of time to start exploring before our cabin was ready.
Boarding day has arrived as we begin our 7-night Celebrity Solstice Alaska cruise from Vancouver.
Exploring the Ship & Settling In
Once onboard, we explored many of the ship’s beautiful public spaces, including the Solstice Theater, Grand Epernay Restaurant, Oceanview Café, Lido Deck, Solarium, Spa, Fitness Center, and Sunset Park. We also moved into our inside stateroom and started settling in before sail away.
We spent the afternoon exploring the Celebrity Solstice before sail away from Vancouver.
Sail Away & Our First Evening
Sailing away from Vancouver is always one of our favorite parts of cruising. After enjoying beautiful views as we left the city behind, we wrapped up the evening with comedy in the Solstice Theater, dinner in the Grand Epernay Restaurant, and live entertainment in the Grand Foyer. It was a fantastic first day aboard the Celebrity Solstice, and we couldn’t wait to see what the rest of our Alaska cruise had in store.

Looking for a hotel before your Celebrity Solstice cruise? See why the River Rock Casino Resort is one of our favorite places to stay before sailing from Vancouver.
Planning a Celebrity Solstice cruise? Before sailing on the Celebrity Solstice, we had plenty of questions about what to expect onboard. From dropping off our carry-on bags and charging our devices to formal night, complimentary dining, cabin amenities, and whether we’d sail the Celebrity Solstice again, we wanted to know the answers before stepping onboard.
After spending a week aboard the Celebrity Solstice on a 7-night Alaska cruise, we’re answering the 10 biggest questions we had before sailing. If you’d like to see everything in more detail, be sure to watch our full video below.
🎥 Watch the full video here:
1. Can You Drop Off Your Carry-On Bags Before Your Cabin Is Ready?
Yes! Shortly after boarding the Celebrity Solstice, we were allowed to leave our carry-on bags in our cabin while our stateroom attendant finished preparing the room. It made embarkation day much easier since we didn’t have to carry our bags around the ship for a couple of hours.
2. What Charging Options Are Available?
The vanity includes two North American outlets and one European outlet, while the bathroom has a shaver outlet. One pleasant surprise was discovering USB-A and USB-C charging ports beside the bed after the ship’s refurbishment. Bringing a European adapter is still a great idea for adding even more charging options.
The vanity includes two North American outlets and one European outlet, making it easy to charge multiple devices.
3. Will You Get a Table for Two?
We had an assigned dining time of 8:15 in the Grand Epernay Restaurant, but we weren’t sure if we’d be seated with other guests or have our own table. To our surprise, Celebrity had already assigned us a window table for two for the entire cruise, making every dinner feel a little more special.
4. Can You Request a Fan, and Is the Cabin Cool Enough?
Our inside cabin stayed comfortable throughout our Alaska cruise, especially with the thermostat turned down. We also requested a fan through Guest Services, and one was delivered to our stateroom shortly after boarding. If you enjoy sleeping with a fan, it’s worth asking because they’re available on a first-come, first-served basis.
5. Does the Shower Have a Door, and What Amenities Are Included?
The Celebrity Solstice features an acrylic shower door instead of a shower curtain, which we really appreciated. The shower also included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. In addition, the bathroom offered liquid hand soap, body lotion, and a hair dryer, so there were fewer toiletries to pack.
6. Does Celebrity Solstice Feel Crowded?
Even though our sailing was completely sold out, the ship rarely felt crowded. We usually found seating in the buffet, elevator waits were short, and there were plenty of quiet places to relax throughout the ship.
Even on a sold-out sailing, we found plenty of space to relax around the Lido Deck.
7. What Is Chic Night Really Like?
Celebrity’s Chic Night was much more relaxed than we expected. While many guests dressed nicely, very few men wore full suits on the first Chic Night. On the second Chic Night, more passengers dressed up, and yes, complimentary lobster tail was served in the Grand Epernay Restaurant.
Chic Night in the Grand Epernay Restaurant included elegant dining and complimentary lobster tail.
8. What Complimentary Dining Is Included?
There are plenty of complimentary dining options aboard the Celebrity Solstice. During our cruise, we enjoyed the Oceanview Café buffet, Mast Grill, Sunset Park Café, Spa Café, Café Al Bacio, and the Grand Epernay Restaurant, giving us lots of variety throughout the week.
9. Can You Relax in the Buffet Between Meals?
Yes! One thing we really appreciated was being able to stop into the Oceanview Café between meal times for a coffee, lemonade, iced tea, or juice while enjoying the incredible scenery through the large windows. It became one of our favorite places to unwind.
The Oceanview Café isn’t just a great place to eat. It’s also the perfect spot to relax with a drink and enjoy the incredible Alaskan scenery between meal times.
10. Would We Sail Celebrity Solstice Again?
Absolutely. We loved the elegant atmosphere, relaxing pace, beautiful public spaces, and overall adult-focused experience. If you’re looking for a cruise that feels refined, comfortable, and relaxing, we wouldn’t hesitate to sail on the Celebrity Solstice again.
The adults-only Solarium was one of our favorite quiet places to relax aboard the Celebrity Solstice.

Finding the right luggage can make a big difference when you’re traveling, whether you’re heading out on a cruise, flying across the country, or planning a weekend getaway. We’ve been using Level8 luggage for several years and have been very happy with its durability, organization, and smooth-rolling performance. That’s why we were excited to add the new Level8 Grace 3-Piece Luggage Set to our travel gear collection.
In our latest video, we take a detailed look at the Level8 Grace luggage set, including the 20-inch carry-on, 24-inch checked suitcase, and 28-inch checked suitcase, covering the features, storage, organization, TSA locks, spinner wheels, and overall design.
What Is Included in the Level8 Grace 3-Piece Luggage Set?
The Level8 Grace luggage set includes three different suitcase sizes designed to cover a wide range of travel needs:
20-inch Carry-On Suitcase
24-inch Checked Suitcase
28-inch Checked Suitcase
The set is available in Navy, Champagne, and Black, making it easy to choose a style that fits your travel preferences.
The Level8 Grace 3-Piece Luggage Set is available in Navy, Champagne, and Black, with each collection including a 20-inch carry-on, 24-inch checked suitcase, and 28-inch checked suitcase. 🧳✈️
First Impressions
One of the first things that stood out to us was the sleek and professional appearance of the luggage. The micro-diamond textured finish, ribbed shell design, and protective corner guards give the suitcases a premium look while also helping protect them from the bumps and knocks that can happen during travel.
The larger checked suitcases feature reinforced corner guards on all four upper corners, while the carry-on includes corner protection on the front upper corners.
A closer look at the Level8 Grace luggage highlights the reinforced corner guards, stylish Champagne finish, and durable hard-shell design built to help protect your luggage during travel. 🧳✈️
Durable Yet Lightweight Design
The Grace luggage set uses a lightweight ABS shell that offers a nice balance between durability and weight. We’ve had excellent experiences with previous Level8 luggage, including one suitcase that survived an unexpected tumble down an entire flight of stairs with no damage to the luggage itself.
One of our favorite features of Level8 luggage has always been the wheels.
The 360-degree spinner wheels roll incredibly smoothly, making it easy to navigate airports, cruise terminals, hotels, and city streets. In fact, they roll so well that we’ve occasionally had to chase after a suitcase when it started rolling away on a slight incline!
The multi-stop telescopic handles are comfortable to use and accommodate travelers of different heights.
Organized Packing for Easier Travel
The 24-inch and 28-inch suitcases open almost evenly down the middle, making packing and organization simple.
Inside you’ll find:
Large zippered mesh divider
Additional storage pocket
Adjustable compression straps
Fully lined interior
We paired our luggage with Level8 Compression Packing Cubes, which have become one of our favorite travel accessories. Packing cubes make it easy to stay organized and significantly speed up unpacking when arriving at a hotel or cruise ship cabin.
Level8 compression packing cubes help keep clothing organized and make packing and unpacking quicker, especially for cruises and longer trips where staying organized is important. 🧳✈️
Carry-On Features We Love
The 20-inch carry-on includes several features that stood out during our review.
One of the most useful additions is the dedicated front compartment designed for travel technology.
This compartment includes:
Padded 15-inch laptop sleeve
Tablet storage
Zippered accessory pockets
Velcro storage compartments
Pen holder
The design allows easy access to your laptop and travel essentials while moving through airport security or waiting at the gate.
Built-In TSA Locks
All three suitcases include integrated TSA-approved locks, eliminating the need for separate padlocks.
The carry-on also includes an additional TSA lock for securing the front laptop compartment, helping protect valuable electronics while traveling.
The Level8 Grace luggage features a built-in TSA-approved combination lock and durable YKK zippers, helping keep your belongings secure while traveling. 🔒✈️
Our Overall Thoughts
After taking a close look at the Level8 Grace 3-Piece Luggage Set, we came away impressed with the combination of durability, organization, and thoughtful design.
Some of our favorite features include:
Protective corner guards
Smooth-rolling spinner wheels
Durable YKK zippers
Built-in TSA locks

Dedicated laptop compartment on the carry-on
