Review summary

My daughter and I enjoyed the cruise. Typical Alaska weather which no one can control. Sadly my daughter tested positive for Covid the day we got home. I appreciate Celebrity testing prior (even though it was a pain) and trying to control the virus exposure to guests. Staff was fantastic!!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very easy, no lines. The hardest part was just making sure all the prepaperwork and testing was complete.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

All the food was great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the ship but didn't participate a lot in activities as we were trying to limit exposure to Covid.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We only attended a few shows but enjoyed them. I thought it was odd that the area they had for a lot of the games was in the middle of a floor with little seating and viewing was from the open areas above the "stage".

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of the ship staff was great! I felt very welcomed and they really seemed excited we were there.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

This was a little older ship but pretty well maintained. A little wear in the rooms but overall very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The size of the room was as expected for a cruise. The TV location was a bit odd as it was in front of the couch not bed. So if you were watching TV in bed it was a little difficult to see the screen. LOVED having the balcony.
