Review summary

With our Alaska Celebrity experience, we will be returning not only to Alaska, but with Celebrity!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We upgraded to a guarantee Sky Suite and with the package, we were ushered to separate lines at each port for immediate embark. It made our trip seamless!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Luminae (Suite dining) was stellar! A new menu everyday and intimate dining. Ocean View Cafe (buffet) offered endless options for every taste! Service was quick and friendly.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool was clean and temperature controlled for an Alaskan cruise. Fitness Center was large and offered many options including med balls and bands. Spa services (facial/pedi), while pricey, were amazing and staff extremely knowledgeable/friendly.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Children's Programs

Did not bring our kid

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was the reason I will cruise Celebrity from here on out. With previous experience on other cruise lines, and speaking to other passengers, Celebrity staff makes the ship feel like home and that every passenger is important REGARDLESS of paid class.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was CLEAN! There wasn't a day that went by where we didn't see a maintenance tech working on improving the appearance of the ship. It shows the pride that Celebrity takes in their product.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cleanliness and housekeeping is 100! Bathroom is big enough for 2 people. Bed is a typical hotel/cruise bed and forgettable. Storage was immense!

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
Fly in only. Excellent dining on the pier.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Toured the Tongass NF rainforest and Raptor Center. Educational and insightful excursion! Transfer was very easy and quick (booked direct with Celebrity).

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
Cruise captain did 360° turns inside of fjord to ensure that EVERY passenger gets an unobstructed view of the tidal glacier.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Canoe at Mendenhall Glacier. THIS IS A GROUP CANOE TRIP. If you do not plan on paddling, please choose a different excursion. Though the afore mentioned was a slight downside, the scenery and experience of this excursion was amazing!

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Favorite port! ATV tour (via ferry) in Haynes, AK. Alaska X is a wonderful company with enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. ATV tour took us to an overlook of Davidson Glacier with unparalleled views. Excursion ended with a lunch and ferry trip back to Skagway with a side trip to see a colony of sea lions.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

5 out of 5
BEAUTIFUL views and calms seas heading home.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Will return to Victoria to spend more than 5 hours.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Customs was quick and Seattle port layout allowed for quick ride share pick up.
