Review summary

I think we have found our cruise line for life. I was hesitant at first but as each day went along, I was so sure I made the right decision to visit Alaska on Celebrity. I can't wait until the next time we go on a Celebrity Cruise!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth. There were so many Celebrity employees there to meet us and made sure we got in the right line, not even me could have messed up. There was water available AND someone to answer every question asked. I have sailed on 3 other cruise lines and was not looking forward to the embarkation process. Celebrity Cruise Lines have the process down pat!! Great Job!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Fantastic! The food selection was wonderful and tasted as good as it could be. Every bite of every meal left nothing to desire. I had a burger poolside and the meat was so good, I had to go back for another. We didn't buy a beverage package but didn't need to as the water and provided lemonade and fruit punch was over the top

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We sang karaoke and bandoke, played the trivia contests. Didn't have a chance to use any other facilities but plenty of other folks were having a great time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entire entertainment package was way over the top. From the stand-up comedians to the Broadway production and everything in between was excellent. Could not have enjoyed it more.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Oh My Gosh, where did Celebrity Cruise Lines attract these folks. Everyone from the Stateroom attendant (Mario) to the Dining Room staff (Sokie, Olpy and Johnny and so many more were the greatest. Always with a smile, a kind greeting and helpful advice our days started off and finished right. Never a harsh word from anyone.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Even though it was an older ship, everything was so clean and everything had a purpose. Our cabin was in the front of the ship so the hike to the dining rooms in the rear was cumbersome (not really) . No complaints on anything. I was really amazed by the common areas bathrooms. Always sparkling clean and fresh smelling. I really liked the real hand towels. Wonderful overall experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was well taken care of and was the right size for the ship. As a matter of fact, it seemed a little bigger than previous cabins we've stayed in.

Ship tip

Enjoy every amenity the ship has to offer. Try different foods.

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Clean and easily accessible. Great hotels and restaurants.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
I loved the town visit and brew tour.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Our trip to the Mendenhall Glacier and subsequent visit to the Salmon Bake was terrific. Highly recommended!

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
The ship was parked right in Downtown and was accessible to all the shops and excursions. We took advantage of the nature hike and canoe trip as well as the 4 WD adventure. Lots of fun.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Just like the Embarkation, the Disembarkation was just as smooth and quick. Plenty of Celebrity employees to steer you in the right direction.
