Celebrity Solstice Outdoor Common Areas - Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Solstice

The Grass Is Greener on the Top Deck of the Celebrity Solstice

The Celebrity Solstice has one exclusive feature not found on other cruise ships - the Lawn Club - a half acre of finely manicured grass growing atop the ship. This green space is mostly for walking, sitting, putting, or just enjoying the park-like atmosphere.

The Lawn Club is not the only distinctive element outdoors on the Celebrity Solstice. The Resort Deck has three pools - the Solarium, the Sports Pool, and the Family Pool. The adults-only indoor Solarium is beautiful, especially at night when the fountain changes colors.

In addition, next to the Family Pool is a fun fountain for children named the Wet Zone. The Celebrity Solstice also has a basketball court, jogging track, and plenty of comfortable deck chairs for sunning. While the kids are playing in the Wet Zone fountain, adults will enjoy the lounge area atop the ship on the Solstice Deck. It has terrific sun beds.

Let's take a look at some of these outdoor areas on the Celebrity Solstice.

The Corning Museum of Glass operates the Hot Glass Show at the Lawn Club on the Celebrity Solstice. The show was a popular venue on our short two-day cruise.

The Hot Glass Show includes live, narrated demonstrations of glassblowing, performed by highly skilled artists. The demonstrations are held several times throughout the day, and one of the shops in the galleria features beautiful glass artwork.

The Celebrity Solstice is the first ship to have "real" grass growing on its top deck at the Lawn Club.

No deck chairs or high heels are allowed on the grass at the Lawn Club, but there is seating nearby.

The Solstice has two funnels near the Lawn Club, but only one is marked with the distinctive "X" of Celebrity Cruises.

The Solarium is actually indoors, but has an outdoor feel, with the pool, lounges, and fountains.

The Solarium is for adults only and with its pool, fountains, and comfortable seating, it should be a wonderful refuge from the hubbub on the rest of the ship.

As can be seen in the next photo, the waterfall fountain changes colors in the evening.

These inviting sun beds are found atop the Celebrity Solstice on the Solstice Deck.

This fountain sprays water in time to the music. Kids and their parents will enjoy playing in it.

Anyone who has been to Olympic Centennial Park in Atlanta will find this Wet Zone fountain familiar. The one in Atlanta was built for the 1996 Olympics and continues to be a favorite place for children to play in the warm weather.

These blue deck chairs are founds near the pools or the outdoor deck areas.

These inviting lounging beds are in the Solarium near the AquaSpa Cafe.
