This cruise has been on our bucket list for some time and our 6th cruise since we started cruising in 2010. Other than the mountains and different wildlife it was not as much as I expected. Being from Ontario Canada a lot of the coastal cruising is the same as we have here (trees, water, coastline) other than the mountains and marine life.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Mainly ate in Blu. Not sure if we expected more than on previous cruises but the service while good for the most part was not exceptional as it has been on our past 4 cruises with Celebrity. We have been traveling Aqua Class (3rd time now) and the breakfast service was slower than we are used to in Blu and I'm sure they lost my breakfast order one morning as it took more than 30 minutes to arrive. Luckily it was a sea day so did not have to be anywhere.
The food in Blue was not up to normal standards either. Had a rib eye that had far too much fat on it and somewhat chewy.
Did enjoy an amazing dinner at the Tuscan Grille.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our Aqua Class A1 stateroom was normal size however the balcony due to the location was a little larger than others.
Arrived 2 days early and did our own thing. Walked to Granville Island which was a 25 minute walk from our hotel on Robson St. over the bridge. Then walked to Stanley Park too. It was a long day!
Awesome views and the ship got really close, within 500m's perhaps. Unfortunately there was a group of 50 or more people signing at the top of their lungs for 10 minutes so no one could hear the glacier moving. Celebrity should inform all guests that listening to the glacier is part of the experience which we missed.
Did the Mount Roberts Tram ride and enjoyed some spectacular views as well as a hike to the top. Also did a helicopter tour to the Mendenhall Glacier which was awesome.
Originally planned the Sea Plane tour of the Misty Fjord but cancelled due to the recent sea plane crashes. Did a walking tour through the rain forest instead. If you have wilderness where you live you can pass on this tour, otherwise perhaps take it to enjoy a nature walk. Far more Flora than Fauna when we visited.
