🚢 Celebrity Solstice Complimentary Food Tour

Now that you’ve had a chance to check out the menus, let’s take a look at some of the complimentary food we found around the Celebrity Solstice.

All of the food featured in our video was included with our cruise fare at no additional cost. There are specialty restaurants and other food and beverage options available for an additional charge, but this tour focuses specifically on the included food we saw and ate during our cruise.

Oceanview Cafe Buffet

The Oceanview Cafe is the main buffet aboard the Celebrity Solstice and is located on Deck 14. The buffet uses an island-style layout, which made it easy to move between the different food stations.

For breakfast, we found everything from eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns to pancakes, waffles, French toast, fresh fruit, pastries, cereals and made-to-order omelets. There were also a variety of international breakfast dishes available.

At lunch and dinner, the selection changed considerably, with salads, meats and cheeses, pizza, pasta, Indian dishes, Mexican-inspired options, carving stations, fish, chicken, vegetables and much more. 🍕🥗

And don’t skip dessert! We found cakes, cookies, soft-serve ice cream and even hard-scoop ice cream with several flavours available during our sailing. 🍦

Complimentary Drinks

The Oceanview Cafe also had complimentary beverage stations with regular and decaf coffee, hot water, tea, iced tea, lemonade and other beverages. Juice selections were also available during breakfast.

🍔 More Complimentary Food Around Celebrity Solstice

The buffet certainly isn’t your only option.

Up on Deck 15, Sunset Park Cafe offered a selection of complimentary snacks, including sandwiches, wraps, pastries, salads and fruit cups. This was also where we found the afternoon warm cookie hour. 🍪

Near the pool, Mast Grill was the place to grab hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries, while Spa Cafe in the Solarium offered lighter options such as fruit, salads and wraps.

We also stopped by Cafe al Bacio, where the specialty coffees cost extra, but we found a selection of complimentary pastries, cakes, cookies and small sandwiches.

🍽️ Grand Epernay Restaurant

The beautiful two-story Grand Epernay Restaurant is the Celebrity Solstice’s main dining room, located toward the aft of the ship on Decks 3 and 4.

We ate here for breakfast, lunch and dinner during our cruise. Breakfast included options such as omelets, Eggs Benedict, pancakes and waffles, while lunch offered a changing selection of appetizers, sandwiches and entrées.

Dinner was where we saw the largest variety throughout the week, with different appetizers, soups, salads, entrées and desserts each evening. On our first Evening Chic night, for example, the menu included shrimp scampi, pan-seared cobia, seared duck, grilled lamb T-bone and Steak Diane, along with the Celebrity Classics.

During the cruise we also enjoyed dishes including prime rib, Beef Wellington, braised beef short ribs and filet mignon with shrimp. On our second Evening Chic night, complimentary broiled lobster tail was also available. 🦞

If you’re planning a Celebrity Solstice cruise, we hope this food tour and collection of menus helps give you a better idea of what you can expect onboard. Happy cruising! 🚢🍽️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
