Review summary

Food & staff were great and I wasn't sick! So Great!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We embarked towards the end of the time frame to embark, and there were practically NO lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I have severe food allergies and only ate in the main dining room, but the food was great; well prepared, good quality. My allergies are so severe that I haven't traveled in years, and was extremely anxious about whether I would be sick on the vacation. The team went out of their way to make sure I was safe, and I DID NOT GET SICK! (A minor miracle). The food in the other sites looked great too (although I didn't taste it my kids said it was good!)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had six staff members who went WAY out of their way to ensure I was safe on this cruise. Michael (our room caretaker), Marius (Main dining room manager), Ivan (Assistant manager), Oscar (waiter), Ronnie (assistant waiter) and the chef. EVERY meal, they made custom meals to feed my family of 6, gave us unused silverware, plates and linen (I have severe food allergies) and were gracious, caring and attentive the ENTIRE TRIP. This is the first vacation I have been on in many years due to my reactions, and I wasn't sick. I am grateful beyond words for the amazing job they did. We'll definitely be going on another cruise with Celebrity after the experience we had on this cruise!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was sparkling clean; at first we thought it was a new ship, but it was 10 years old!

Ketchikan, Alaska

We went out on Southeast Exposure tour with Trevin, out on boats, and saw whales 15 feet away from us! Definitely recommend!

Juneau, Alaska

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
We hired a bus to take us on a 6 hour tour into Canada, and it was absolutely stunning, and we were able to get some interesting trinkets in Canada that were different from the "big box" stores in towns.
