Welcome Aboard
Buffet Lunch

Our cruise might be departing for the Western Caribbean but Celebrity Edge Oceanview Cafe  took us to lands far away.  The buffet offers traditional favorites, as well as cuisine from around the world with a menu that varies.  The selections included Latin, Italian, Indian, Asian, Grilled Favorites, Seafood, Salads, Cheese, Bread and of course scrumptious desserts.

The floor plan is very open with the interior setup with several stations, each featuring a unique cuisine.  My suggestion is that you first take a tour around the entire buffet before deciding what to select.  Take some pictures as well so that you can remember the experience long after you return home.

Did  I Mention Desserts

If you have a sweet tooth like me, you'll want to save room so that you can dive into the desserts.  If you can't find something you like there, waddle over to Scoops for some gelato or ice cream.  There's an extra charge for this venue, but if you are a Captain's Club member, you can get a free scoop of gelato during your cruise.

Celebrity Solstice - Oceanview Café

While on our pre-inaugural cruise on Celebrity Solstice, one of the first experiences we had was dining in the Oceanview Café.

We were immediately struck by the eye appeal of both the dining area and the serving area. Especially appealing was the serving area which was very spacious. The color scheme included beiges, and other light colors, yellow, gold, and blue lighting. Signs overhead clearly marked each serving station.

Passengers collected a plate from one of the many serving islands and filled their plates as they made their way easily from station to station. There were duplicates of some stations so that if the line was long at one of them, you could simply go to another one and not have any wait.

The stations included a beverage station, salad bar, fromagerie (cheese selections), pasta kitchen, pizzeria, BBQ, chefs corner, the carvery, the bakery, and desserts. At each station, the food was arranged meticulously - nothing was out of place.

We've seen many buffets on ships and this was the most efficient and elegant setting that we've ever seen. It goes without saying that the quality of food was very good also. Celebrity has definitely raised the bar on fast food.

We enjoyed all of our breakfasts in Oceanview as well as our lunches. If you didn't want to eat inside, you could go out on deck and enjoy the ocean views in an open setting. Don't miss this treasure while onboard a Celebrity Solstice class ship.
