Review summary
We took the 7 day Northern Glacier cruise followed by the 4 night Wildlife Encounter postcruise tour and it was super! We were fortunate to have sunshine EVERY DAY and mild temperatures, which helped. The guides all knew their stuff and were very conscientious. We did the Gold Rush Sled Dogs and White Pass Train, Whale watching cruise, Misty Fjords Boat and floatplane, and Helicopter to Mendenhall Glacer and all were well run and worth the money. Qsine and Tuscan Grille on the ship were outstanding, main dining room very good (except for long lines), but the buffet was only ok (often running out of food and utensils at peak hours). We prefer the bigger ships but this one is up to Celebrity's standards. Great staff too, very accommodating.

Ship tip
Take advantage of the first night discount at Tuscan Grille and eat there instead of the main dining room which had a 30 minute wait to get a pager to wait another 30 minutes to get in for a 9:00 dinner! Second night just as bad, then it eased up. Also, take the Inside Access tour of the ship!
