We are a family group of 14 ranging in age from 15 to 77. None of us had sailed with Celebrity before, but Im pretty sure many of us will again. All but one of us had cruised before; most of us have been on 10 to 18 prior cruises, so fairly experienced but certainly not experts. Between us all we have sailed with Royal Caribbean, Princess, NCL, Carnival, and Sitmar. On this voyage we did a back to back trip sailing out of Vancouver to Seward and then back.

Each of us loved this trip! The itinerary, the ship, the crew, the food, the excursions, were all really, really good. Of course, there was the random meal that wasnt a favorite and the occasional crew member that rubbed someone the wrong way. Some excursions were better than others. As a whole though, it really was an outstanding trip. Because this was a back to back we had the opportunity to visit each port (except Seward on turnaround day) twice.

Hubbard Glacier day was very cold one week, but we got within a mile and half of the glacier. We could see and hear the glacier calving, which is a marvel. It was overcast and drizzly, so we couldnt see the surrounding mountains; didnt even know they were there in fact. The next week it was sunny and warm. We could only get to about six miles from the glacier and couldnt see or hear calving this time. We could see all of the mountains and the grandeur of the spot better than the week before. Im not sure which I prefer, once we saw it up close and personal but couldnt see the big picture, the next week we saw all of the surroundings, but couldnt get right up next to it. Both were incredible. Read more
