just returned from a southbound alaska cruise and had a fantastic time on celebrity millennium (our first time on celebrity and first time to alaska).

day 1 - we used celebrity's bus transfers from anchorage to seward. i'm not much of a train fan as i get car sick fairly easily and spending four hours in a train is too much for me. the bus was fine - about 2.5 hours - and a beautiful view all the way to seward. we took a very late bus 4 p.m. as we were waiting on one of our suitcases to arrive. so, when we arrived at seward there were no lines to check in and they whisked us onto the ship.

the boat is lovely, a perfect size in our opinion. we had stateroom 9038, concierge class, starboard side with a larger balcony than most because it is on a corner. great room. concierge class includes a bottle of champagne and fresh fruit, along with appetizers delivered daily. our stateroom attendant lorenco was fantastic, always filling up our fruit bowl with those items we had eaten. it was nice to have a slightly larger shower than most cruise ships. we found space for everything we brought on board and put suitcases under the bed so no issues on space.
