We chose this cruise for an easy, lazy getaway. (We live in the northwest so getting to the cruise and back was a piece of cake...compared to, say, Europe.) The Millennium is a tad smaller than Celebrity's Solstice class ships, but we missed nothing.
We were pleasantly surprised by the Luminae restaurant, with its quality and changing menus every evening. While we were quite pleased with ...
Took cruise in late July. Booked the Celebrity Suite (1615) along with 2 Ocean View cabins (bow facing) for my 2 married children. Celebrating my 35th anniversary. Overall trip was outstanding and I will be cruising Celebrity again. Not sure why some of the reviews have been so poor as Celebrity definitely an upgrade (IMO) over Carnival, RCL, and NCL (my previous experience). Having a suite ...
The Good:
Great ports of call, incredible scenery: I would do an Alaskan cruise again
Blu (Aquaclass) restaurant - food and staff excellent
Production quality of shows and singers, dancers and acrobats excellent
Cafe Baci and the Martini bar as great as ever
The Bad:
Very tired and worn staterooms
More crowded than Millennium class used to be
Service overall not up to usual ...
This was our 7th cruise on Celebrity dating back to 2007 when we went to the Mediterranean on the Galaxy.
Having read some of the reviews and posts about Infinity we were a bit apprehensive about what we would experience during our first time in Alaska, but any concerns we might have had were quickly eliminated.
Yes, the ship is showing some age (so are we), but it was clean and it was clear ...
We chose this cruise because we like the line and the itinerary. The stops (hoonah, Juneau, and Ketchikan) were great. So was the hubbard glacier. The ship itself just felt squished compared to my last sailing on the Summit and the Millennium 8 years ago. The buffet was always a mad house and it was hard to find a table. The main dining room also felt crowded with the tables right on top of each ...
CELEBRITY’S 13 DAY “ALASKAN HEARTLAND CRUISETOUR” (7A)
HITS
- Exceptional service during the Cruise by the dining room staff (Carlos & Roiden) and room steward (Hanz).
- Cruising into Hubbard Glacier was a highlight of the trip. Great commentary during the visit.
- Our Land Tour guide's (Jacob) knowledge and coordination of excursions made the land portion of the cruisetour a ...
This was our first cruise having a balcony. It is a must for Alaskan cruising. The views are breathtaking.
The rest of the cabin was dated (as most cruise ships are) but had more than enough room for 2 travelers. Room amenities included hair dryer, toiletries, bath robes, stationary, safe, mini fridge, 2 umbrellas, and small binoculars.
Martini Bar was very fun. The bartenders are ...
We had done Alaska by land and felt like we were missing out on some of Alaska's most beautiful scenery by not doing the Inside passage. We were right, the views from the ship were fantastic and we really enjoyed our excursions as well. Alaska is a most amazing state that is hard to visualize by just looking at pictures. We had the good fortune to see some wildlife including a black bear in the ...
We wanted to visit Alaska and were interested in this cruise because of the 6-day pre-cruise land tour from Fairbanks to Seward and the 6-day post-cruise land tour from Vancouver to Calgary. We enjoyed both land tours, but the Alaskan one went smoother because of an accompanying tour guide and bus with driver even though most of the tour was on train. The guise and driver were fantastic. On the ...
We chose this Alaska cruise because we had never cruised on Celebrity and had heard good things about the line. The ship is badly in need of renovation, especially the cabins. We booked a veranda stateroom and by the time we purchased drink cards, the cruise came to $420/day per person--not inexpensive. Day one brought a nearly one hour muster which was total chaos. The majority of ...
