Review summary

We really enjoyed our first cruise!  We loved seeing Alaska and going on the excursions!  The entertainment was wonderful and there were so many great things to do during the day/night, that we had to pick and choose what we wanted to do the most.  It was quite wonderful to be able to see and do so many things in one week and yet sleep in the same comfy bed each night.  Can't wait to do it again!

The cabin was perfect! I loved all of the drawers and cubbies to put away our things so we weren't living out of our suitcases! Our attendant was the best, always cheerful and eager to help out. We had a great view off of the balcony on the 11th floor.

Ship tip

Become familiar with the ship on your first day so it is easier to find what you're looking for! I'd also recommend going to the intro to cruising on the first day (we didn't) as I'm sure it would have made things a bit easier for us to get used to what was going on :-D

I'm leaving next Friday too! Can't wait! I've been to Alaska many times, through cruises and not but cruising is the way tombs! This will be my first Celebrity cruise in over 10 years and I can't wait! I did an Alaska cruise last year September with most of the same ports and I highly recommend doing the train and hike combination excursion in Skagway. It's pricey but it was the highlight of it!
