Review summary

We loved Alaska and can't wait to go back. I know now how I would do it next time. Start in Vancouver and end in Seward. The further north you go the more beautiful in my opinion. Add some days to spend in Seward, Anchorage and go on to Denali. Would I cruise with Celebrity again? Possibly. Were there areas that needed improvement, definitely. Did it ruin my trip? Nothing can ruin Alaska. Did I starve? Not by a long shot!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was amazing in the speciality restaurants but of course you have to pay extra for that great food. Hit and miss in the dining room. You could always find something to eat. The food was very repetitive in the Cafe and so so quality.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I thought more activiies could of been provided for the younger crowd such as line dancing lessons, cooking classes, bingo, etc. We don't gamble or care about art.

Ship Quality

We were on deck 9 with an AFT room. Right above us on deck 10 was the outside seating area. Everytime someone moved the chairs they made an awful noise in our room. With the patio door open or closed but definitely louder with the door open. These chairs should have had something on the legs to make them move quieter. Ship needs a facelift.

Took a canoe ride across Mendenhall lake to see a glacier and waterfall. Because we saw numerous glaciers and waterfalls during our trip we probably won't do this again.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Rented a jeep and went into Canada. The sites were amazing!

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
Walk to Hoonah instead. Support the small town businesses and not the cruise ship shops in Icy Strait. We had a great whale watching tour.

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
Tried our luck at fishing. Didn't catch much but had a great time. Didn't shop or anything.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

BIG CITY, LOTS OF PEOPLE! Flower gardens are beautiful but don't care to go back.
