Review summary

Entertainment poor and extremely loud. Food in Ocean view poor. Choices in Luminae poor. Michael’s club not worth it, way better in the Ensamble lounge

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Same old stuff every day in Oceanview, great if you like food from India which was served every day. Lack of staff to clean tables and serve drinks.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Roomy and comfortable. Best to go to Celebrity web site and look up Celebrity suite.

Ship tip

Unless you want prestige don’t bother with suite class if you get extra perks on a lower class cabin

We were the first train out in Skagway but got stuck between the train behind us which derailed and the train coming down. We going to Fisher CN and be bused back. Luckily they cleared the track and we made the return trip back after 5.75 hours. The company refunded our money and game us a CD of the trip and a ball cap. Awfully decent of them.

Wasn't the train in Skagway broken down on this cruise? . Our train trip was cancelled because of mechanical failure on the 8am run.

We did not eat in speciality restaurants. We did eat from the MDR menu in Luminae which was far better than what Luminea had to offer.
