This cruise was to celebrate my partners special birthday, and would be our first cruise together.
Firstly, before i get into the issues and some aspects that were not up to exceptions, we had a fantastic time cruising the Tracy Arm inside passage and the scenery was second to non. the weather was also on our side during our severn days.
We chose Celebrity for a more mature cruising ...
I was really excited about going on the Celebrity Solstice but once I got on board I was bored. The daily activities are really a joke unless you want to be sold something. The bars were really all the same with no real flare to any of them. The staff was nice at them but had no imagination when asked to make a surprised drink. One of the things that bothered my was the Captain and the ...
My husband and I traveled with our mid-20 year old sons and it was the first major cruise for all of us. Quick background if it helps (I scoured this site prior to leaving so it did help to have some basis for a review)): we are all in the hospitality industry and have really high standards in all areas of the business. In addition we are lifelong boaters and currently own 3 boats. For those ...
We have never been on a cruise before, and it wasn't necessarily our desired vacation, but we wanted to see Alaska, and we live close enough to Vancouver to avoid the costs of flights. We are now converts after such an amazing experience with Celebrity.
I had been reading reviews of this ship, and reading comments such as 'the ship is dated'. Let me tell you, if anyone can say one negative ...
My wife and I just finished a Alaskan cruise on Celebrity Millennium on August 17th, 2018. Here are our detailed comments:
An Alaskan cruise, inside passage, was a bucket list item for us. We chose the Millennium because rated good (not exceptional), and it's not so huge it could not get close to the glaciers.
The boat is pretty worn. Completely functional, but worn. We had a sky suite ...
This was a great cruise and Captain Tasos was fantastic! He was personable, entertaining, and informative. We would take another cruise with Celebrity just to sail with him again. The ship is just the right size for us. Smaller ships can get into smaller ports and waterways, but they lack the selection of entertainment and food. The mega ships are just too large and impersonal. We choose this ...
We just got back from a seven-night Inside Passage Alaskan cruise on the Solstice and, in general, it was very nice.
Background: My wife (37) and I (43) took this cruise with my parents as a celebration of their 50th anniversary. They had booked it and wanted us (as cruise experts/excursion planners/luggage porters) to join them, which we did “last minute” by cruise standards (two months ...
Our first cruise (20 something yrs ago) was out of Boston to Bermuda and I can say this cruise was so much more smooth. We had heard that the best way to see Alaska (Glaciers) was to take a cruise. We decided to do the land portion the week before cruising because we knew there was more to Alaska than the Glaciers and I'm so glad we did it in that order. We were pretty tired at the end of the ...
Really wanted to take an Alaska cruise and this fit with our schedule. It was ok, overall. The staff were genuinely friendly. Most of the shows were decent enough. Very little trivia, which was a surprise. Also, no piano player. How hard is that, really?
The ports of call were uneven, with Icy Passage being totally overpriced for the few options that did exist. Skip this port. ...
I boarded the ship with a great deal of trepidation in view of the many previous negative reviews. I would advise fellow travelers to ignore the whiners and chronic complainers. One reviewer even commented that it was disappointing that it was a small ship! Any internet research would reveal that the ship carries about 2100 passengers - those wanting a bigger ship should book ...
