Review summary

Food was good but not up to standards on Celebrity. We liked being able to be casual in the dining room and seated as we wished. Usually the wait was not too long. The entertainment was good. Pools and hot tubs great.

Rain didn't help our activities. Rainforest trip was too slow to keep children's interest but they loved the animals.

Skagway, Alaska

3 out of 5

Skagway Brewery was good food and friendly service. Train ride great but we were delayed due to train ahead mechanical problems and were on with little children for 5.5 hours without food and no way to get off. Wasted our time to do other things.

Big disappointment was cancelled helicopter trip because of rain. Museum was wonderful for children but a long walk for little ones. Duck boat and tram are great and not so expensive. Very good shopping spots.
