Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise very much as this is the first time I have sailed with the Celebrity cruise line. I wanted to experience the different activities on board as well as trying the food options. A naturalist was on board (Brett Nixon) and gave excellent lectures on whales, eagles and bears. I would definitely consider Celebrity on my next cruise purchase.

I saw it from afar and did not purchase an excursion. Too expensive but had seen it up close on last cruise.

My original excursion was cancelled so I purchased the train excursion to Summit Pass. Was able to stand outside as we were going up the mountain which was very scenic.
