Celebrity Infinity 10-night Alaska Cruise R/T Seattle Sept 16 - Sept 26, 2011
We were not originally going on this cruise. We have been to Alaska twice; the last time in July 2009. I chose this cruise for our friends who were first timers to Alaska and to cruising. The time matched their vacation time. Since it was a good deal and there is so much to do and see in Alaska, we booked, too.
The weather was not good. It was not even normal for Alaska. There was a wicked storm in the Pacific yielding high seas and higher winds. Our itinerary had to be altered twice. Thankfully, our Captain made changes that turned out for the better. Instead of Hubbard Glacier, we spent a day cruising up Tracy Arm. Instead of cruising west of Vancouver Island to Victoria, we cruised the British Columbia inside passage. That was a high light of the trip. We saw humpback whales, and orcas. It was amazing when perhaps 100 Pacific White-sided Dolphins raced toward the ship to surf our wave. Hats off to our Captain! We heard that passengers on other ships were not so lucky. They missed ports.
Cabin Review
Ocean View 4
Cabin - Our friends had a balcony on Deck 8 starboard and they were delighted with it. We had an outside on Deck 2 port side, #2119, because we are cheap. Our cabin had a nice sized bathroom with the largest shower we've experienced. But I did not like the layout of the cabin. I would have rather had the beds head toward the window rather than be perpendicular. With the large couch and glass table with beverage tray, there simply was not enough room to move around. Also lacking was space to hang all of our wet clothes until our room steward brought some extra regular hangers.
