Review summary

very excited to go on our first cruise with celebrity. everything was great with the exception of the excursions and several of the ports. I did not like icy point - the excursion was poorly vetted, the port had very little to offer. I thought juneau had very little to offer. I like katchikan, but did not ahve enough time to enjoy the town. Onboard spa was excellent. we used message, acupunture, and thermage services. all technitians were excellent.

Glad you enjoyed your Alaskan cruise. Sorry you were disappointed with some of your ports. Whale watching is popular excursion in Juneau. Try Viator for excursions

Welcome to the wonderful world of cruising. Were your port times different than originally scheduled? If not, then you’ll need to remember that for future bookings and research the port of call so you get the most from your allotted time. As a first time cruiser you learned how important prior research can be. Glad you enjoyed your time on the ship. Sorry Alaska didn’t quite meet your expectations. Appreciate your feedback and hope you will have many happy cruising days ahead.
