We chose this cruise because we love sailing to Alaska and are loyal to the Celebrity brand. With our past cruises we have always been very pleased with the food quality and service, but this cruise was a complete disappointment. It seems as if Celebrity has lowered the quality standard in the dining room, perhaps in the hope that people will opt for the fee-based specialty dining. As I feel that ...
We chose this cruise as an excellent way to see Alaska, the literary appeared better than others on offer and we have always been very happy with previous Celebrity cruises.
After a night in Anchorage we travelled by train on the Alaskan Railroad, we splashed out on the Goldstar service and it was well worth the extra cost as the trip was excellent:
- Baggage was collected at the station and ...
My husband and I chose this trip due to it's itinerary. We had done an inside passage cruise, but we wanted to visit Anchorage and Seward this time. We had sailed on Celebrity before and we were looking forward to experiencing the Millennium. It had recently undergone a "revolution" or refurbishment.
The ship's cabins were redone and look fresh and offers lots of storage. A plus is the USB ...
Celebrity does the best job of making your trip wonderful. We did the precruise tour from Fairbanks to Seward. We did basically the same precruise tour in 2016 with a few itinerary changes. The land tour was awesome as was the cruise. We always get an Aquaclass stateroom because we like to eat in Blu. Celebrity does a great job of making your trip seamless.
As far as the wildlife goes, we saw ...
Alaska has always been in the back of our minds. This cruise had all the must see ports for us and a great price. We lotteried for an upgrade and got it - Rm 8018. The veranda provided such a fantastic view of Hubbard Glacier and our Captain Theo got us close to it, just .6 miles from the calving ice! He happened to walk by our room just after his 360 degree maneuver as I was chatting with a most ...
This was our first cruise and a celebration of our 40th Anniversary. The ship was wonderful - first voyage after retrofit. The crew was excellent. So many nice people working onboard. Went out of their way to help us first time cruisers. Loved the food, the fun - everything. The shows were excellent. Loved that there was a crew there that were counting animals - they taught me a lot about ...
The only reason to upgrade to the Aqua Class is for the shorter line at check in. The "suites" are not multi-room, and the view is obstructed by the overhang of the deck above. It is, seriously, an obstructed view. And, since you are on deck 9, you get noises from the pool deck above all night long. Must be why all of the real suites were moved to deck 6.
The bathrooms are nowhere near Disney ...
We took this cruise as a gentle way to go home to Canada from Japan. (We had done an around Japan cruise with Windstar beforehand)
It was very enjoyable, food great, staff lovely, entertainment good. There were alot of sea days together but we got a routine of trivias, podium talks, hot tubs and eating in the day as the weather was too cold to be out on deck much or in the swimming pool. The ...
We tend to prefer longer cruises with sea days. Celebrity almost always has excellent speakers and this cruise was no exception. We tried to catch all the talks.
This is our second cruise in Aqua. The ammenities make the trip so much more enjoyable so thats what we look for now. Our cabin, an A1 was a long way from the spa and because of the weather we didn't use it.
The room was very well ...
As the caption suggests, my main dissatisfaction with the cruise was the was overly-amplified "ambient" music everywhere, and it was always of the thump-thump variety. There was no escaping it. I will never cruise on Celebrity again. For those who do not object to this terrible noise, I am adding a few comments on other aspects of the cruise.
The promotional material said the port of ...
