August 2022 - 7 Night Alaska Southern Glacier (Seward To Vancouver) Cruise on Celebrity Millennium
Land and Sea 8/09 through 8/19. Not Well Organized
We did the Alaska Land and Sea tour. We had difficulty getting information before the trip. For instance we wanted to know which meals were included. We could not find and answer. No meals were included. We also had to change flights because our connection looked like it would be canceled. We tried to contact Celebrity to tell them our new flight info and arrival time. The only number we had involved a 30 minute hold time.
When we arrived, we found our contact. When we said our names, he said we were to have been there 15 minutes earlier. We explained that we had to change flights. We later found out that our original flight arrived three hours after ours.

Another Fun Cruise. But I Could Have Been Better
The production shows were outstanding. The Internet package was disappointing. Fabi, Alex, and DJ Saxy from the Fun Crew were high energy, Fabi greeted us wherever we were. On early excursion days the buffet should open at 5:30 like the restaurant. we were in too big of a hurry to sit in a restaurant. We wanted something quick and easy. The app works well and allowed us to group our party to see the activities each was interested in.

Great Beach Days, But They Ran Out of Alcohol !!!
This was the first full capacity cruise we had been on. There was no mask requirement. But my wife and I often wore masks in crowds. However, We both developed COVID. Mine on the day we left the ship. Hers, two days later. Both are mild cases.
The biggest problem was the alcohol. We are Diamond and get four free drinks per day. The first day, while waiting for our cabin, to pool bar did not have ingredients for a pina colada. As the cruise progress, no bar could make a strawberry daiquiri, or strawberry anything, no pina coladas, no banana daiquiri, and only dark rum. I was down to a mudslide or mojito. It was disappointing.

This was our first cruise since the beginning of the pandemic. We can say that any concerns we had regarding the safety measures that would be in place were quickly erased. Everyone, passengers and crew, wore masks indoors on the ship. The excursions were also very safe and required masks. We are so happy to have been a part of this return to cruising.

Royal Caribbean always treats us well
We enjoy getting away from winter. Baltimore is a convenient drive and royal Caribbean is about our favorite cruise line. Especially for the value. We will continue on Royal, when possible, We are going to Greenland next year and Royal does not go there. Otherwise, we would be on Royal for that one too.

Princess Has Always Been Organized. Not This Time.
We were disappointed with the disorganization of embarkation and the excursions. On the following cruise, the curtain still was not fixed and three of our excursions were cancelled.

You must be flexible. St Croix would not let us into port. We received a one day refund. When it was announced in the theater, there were no groans. I was surprised. Later they replaced St Lucia with Antiqua. It was a very subdued cruise, but we still really enjoyed it.

The Caribbean in January is Always Great
We love the Caribbean in the winter. My wife wanted Culture. So we visited a Haitian village. And an art museum. I like beaches, music and rum punch. So that was the last half of our cruise.

This was a wonderful cruise. The selected parts were outstanding. The Caribbean Princess is a well run ship.
Cruise tips
We did not get off the ship.
We did a steel drum cruise with beach was excellent.
Web walked around on our own.
Vision of the Seas
Bringing on deck 7 makes the restaurants.and theater convenient
We did Home Sweet Home Adults only. It was very good.
Our excursion to Pirate's Cove had an open bar and lunch. It started at 8:00 am and finished at 11:30 am.
Ports of call were good.
Carnival Legend
we always purchase Internet packages so we can find each other by texting.. The ship's Wi-Fi does not support texting or Wi-Fi calling.
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
we rented a clam Shells. This was the best day.
We thought we would be able to move around on the catamaran. It was full. If you moved, which was difficult, you lost your place.
Yorkey's Knob (Cairns), Australia
Although we left our cabin as soon as the captain made the announcement to disembark, the line was back to Princess Live. We stayed in line until we reached the busses. When we asked which bus was ours, we were told Blue 3. There was no Blue 3. We later found that others had boarded the bus from a different, much cheaper tour and the bus left. The person loading the bus apparently did not read the tickets. We were put on another tour. The only thing similar to ours was the glow worms. We got our money back. But we do not think we will be back to Australia,had done a great deal of research and did not get what we had planned.
Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia
Cheap Cruises had an excursion of a bus tour of the city that dropped us off at our hotel at the end. I highly recommend this if you can get it.
Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska
This was our first visit here. It is owned and operated by native peoples. We really liked it.
No excursion. Just walked around.
My wife likes to go to Bites on Broadway, a local eatery. We also attended a play about a local legend. It was fun.
we have been to Alaska many times. So we just did things on our own.
Celebrity Millennium
The buffet is very spread out and different fruits and breads are at different stations.
It was completely fogged in at first. the captain stayed a while, It cleared beautifully. We had a great view.
Enchantment of the Seas
The Crown Lounge is a great place to relax. The views are fantastic and few people use it.
We have been here several times. We did a pontoon excursion on the Banana River. It was nice.
Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)
Excellent. We rented two beach beds. We were with another couple. But the beds were far apart. We asked if we could be together. They said we could if we agreed to move to South Beach. South Beach only had a snack bar instead of full food service. We agreed. South Beach did not have the winds we had encountered at the original. and there was only one or two other couples. So we had the concierge to ourselves.
We did Maxxi's Beach Get Away. You had to climb over rocks to get to the ocean. And the sand was very abrasive. But, it is a beach day. Much better than the snow at home.
I had used the Visit a City app to plan a full day. Our friends di not leave the ship because they did not feel well. Since my wife and I had been there several times, we walked to the historic Market and Ubered to Rodney Scott's Whole Hog Bar B Q. I had seen several documentaries about it. That was worth the trip.
Enchantment of the Seas
Take advantage of the Crown lounge. It has outstanding views.
Majestic Princess
Enjoy and be confident that the staff on Majestic Princess will take good care of you.
Panoramic St Lucia. It seemed like a lot of riding on the bus for a few beautiful views.
Flavors of Barbados and Island Drive. The highlight of this was the rum demonstration. It made the whole trip.
Caribbean Beach Escape. I love just sitting and listening to the waves. Lunch was good. The yachts are amazing to see.
We only got on the ship.
Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.
We did a guided bike ride. It was a nice change from riding the bus. Our guide was excellent. We visited a soon to be open bed and breakfast, feather Leaf Inn, that was amazing.
Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas
Coco Cay has really improved since the last time we were there. The only thing was that we rented "loungers" thinking they were just beach chairs. They are actually small tents. Which worked out well. But I wiss there had been a picture on RC's website.
We enjoyed an air boat ride and exotic animal demonstration.
Caribbean Princess
I enjoyed the Caribbean Princess. It was easy to navigate and most venues were able to accommodate the crowds who wanted to attend.
