Just wrapped up an unforgettable 12-night cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore aboard the Celebrity Solstice🚢💙 We stayed in the Royal Suite to celebrate our anniversary, and the crew even decorated the room for us—such a sweet surprise! ❤️🎉
🛏 Royal Suite Vibes
The suite was HUGE—separate living room, bedroom, walk-in closet, marble bathroom, plus my favorite part: a massive balcony with a private jacuzzi 🛁🌅. Morning and evening dips while watching the ocean… pure bliss.
We also had a dedicated butler who took care of everything—snacks, in-room breakfast, dinner reservations, even laundry (yes, laundry was included—no worries about running out of clothes on a long trip!).
🍽 Food & Champagne Life
Dining was another highlight. Luminae (the suites-only restaurant) was exceptional—ever-changing menus, consistently top-notch. We also tried all the specialty restaurants (complimentary for Royal Suite guests 🙌).
And drinks? Endless champagne flows every day, plus a bottle of Dom Pérignon to celebrate our anniversary 🥂✨ Happiness level: MAX.
📶 Wi-Fi & Service
Surprisingly fast and stable Wi-Fi (posting pics, scrolling, even streaming—no problem at all). Service throughout the ship was polished, thoughtful, but never intrusive.
🧭 Shore Excursions
Our journey included stops in Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia:
• Kayaking in Ha Long Bay + local lunch
• Ho Chi Minh City tour (we skipped Cu Chi Tunnels)
• Free exploring in Pattaya & Koh Samui
The pace was super relaxed—no rushing around.
🏨 Pre & Post Stays
Kicked off with a suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, and ended with two nights at Mandarin Oriental Singapore (Marina Bay Club room). Both hotels were incredible—views, service, dining—absolutely 5-star.
💰 Trip Cost (for 2)
• Royal Suite (12 nights): ¥100,800
• Shore excursions: ¥10,152
• Hong Kong & Singapore hotels: ¥27,770

✅ Verdict
Our first time staying in Celebrity’s Royal Suite, and it blew past all expectations. From the jacuzzi balcony to endless champagne, it was truly a trip to remember. 🥂💫
