We did a family vacation with a two day pre trip in Vancouver. The embarkation process with Celebrity was efficient. For the purpose of this review, i will review only the ship not excursions. The ship itself although the oldest in the fleet was well maintained but not modern. We were on the 7th deck with a balcony which offered spectacular views of the Alaskan coast.
Things that stood out
1. Metropolitan Dining - The main dining restaurant was superb. The menu choices were plentiful each night and the quality very good for starters, entrees and desserts. The staff very attentive and nice. The view from our table was terrific.
The stateroom is basic. Small a bit cramped. But had a balcony. The look inside was not memorable but it was fine. Everything worked. Bed was a bit stiff and for me who likes softer bedding, it was tough to sleep well.
Vancouver is a great city. We went to the suspension bridge on the day before the cruise.
