Sail Date: May 2014

We enjoyed our cruise thru the Inside Passage to Alaska. Had a verandah room on the 6th floor and found it quite spacious. The glasses in the room were dirty and when I complained to the room steward I was told the glasses went thru a dishwasher. These definitely did not! Found myself washing glasses all week. The bottle of sparkling wine the family had ordered for us to enjoy as we sailed out of Vancouver was sitting at room temperature on the desk. The ice bucket was half full of tepid water (Celebrity did an outstanding job organizing the wine two years ago when we went to Alaska with them.)

Apart from the glitches with the room, there was lots of entertainment, the ship was clean and well decorated. The food was generally good although the dining room staff could have been trained a bit better or maybe they don't put as much effort into the open seating guests? A second cup of coffee was never offered.

The views were spectacular, the prices for souvenirs and drinks were competitive, and the thermostats in the rooms were responsive.

Cabin Review

Good location near the stairs and elevators. We were not bothered by any noise or vibration.
