July 2017 - 7 Night Alaska Tracy Arm Fjord (Seattle Roundtrip) Cruise on Celebrity Solstice
This was my first cruise and I am so glad we chose the Solstice. We took this cruise line based on the recommendation of friends. Our weather was perfect with no rain at all at any port, unusual for Alaska. All of our excursions were wonderful...no disappointment at all. The captain turned the ship 360° so that everyone got a good view of the glacier in Tracy Arms Fjord...spectacular! I especially loved the way the crew treated us. We were asked regularly how we were enjoying the excursions, food, our room, the pool, etc. Many of the crew members truly enjoyed their jobs and that really showed and added to our enjoyment. We ate in the Grande Eperney Dining Room and in the Oceanview Café (buffet) and were not disappointed in the least. We truly felt like we got the royal treatment. We would highly recommend the Celebrity cruise line.

Cruise tips
Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey
No excursions here. We spent 4 days in NYC on our own.
We did the Lighthouses of Maine excursion and enjoyed it very much.
We did 2 excursions here. The Victorian Walking Tour and An Intimate Look at Acadia National Park. Even with both, we had plenty of time to shop and explore the town on our own. I highly recommend the Intimate Look at Acadia National Park because of the small bus. There were only 14 on our small bus. This allowed us to get on and off at more stops more quickly. It was foggy at the top of Cadillac Mountain but our guide was able to find plenty of places for us to get fabulous views and some gorgeous pictures. Both excursions were informative and very much worth it.
We went on the St. John's Bucket List excursion. This was a disappointing day but only because of the rain. We saw the reversing Rapids if the Bay of Fundy go both directions. We went to St. Martin, but it was raining and the Village had no power so we only stayed a few minutes. We actually did see more things on the excursion because we had time to spare. It was disappointing but it was no one's fault. It was simply a rainy day.
We went on the Top Ten of Halifax which included Peggy's Cove, the Fairview Lawn Cemetery (Titanic victims), the public gardens, and the Acadia Maple Factory. It was a long day, but very nice. We saw what we wanted to.
We did the Scenic Boston excursion. The ONLY reason we were disappointed had to do with a delay in arriving at this port because of the weather. The excursion was good. We were just unable to explore on our own afterwards, as originally planned, because there were no drop-offs at Faniuel Hall due to no shuttles being run. There was no helping the weather delay. We hope to do Boston again one day.
