Celebrity is our favorite line and Alaska one of our favorite destinations. Here is my ramblings and thoughts on a fabulous week. The highlight was definitely just being back on board with these hard-working happy crewmembers and then being able to see the northern lights which I’ve been waiting for my entire life.
Celebrity 7 Night Alaska Dawes Glacier Cruise sailing on 08/27/2021
We were ...
We had 6 couples on our cruise to Alaska. This had been planned for two years, cancelled twice and had 3 ship changes. So it was exciting to be back on board. With a capacity of 2200 passengers, we only had 850 onboard and over 700 crew. We got spoiled with this ratio. Everyone of the crew was so excited to be there and they could not do enough for us. The waitstaff, the coffee bar attendants, the ...
We chose Celebrity to Alaska because they required 95% of passengers to be completely vaccinated as well as the crew to be 100% fully vaccinated. Most cruise lines to Alaska do not require that the crew be 100% vaccinated. In fact, most cruise lines only say they comply with CDC guidelines with no specific details such as what Celebrity details on their website. Two weeks before departure ...
This was our sixth cruise. It was our first after Covid, and second on Celebrity. We upgraded this time to AquaClass. The itinerary to Alaska was very nice. The app which we tried to use many times prior to sailing was very buggy. Embarkation was reasonably quick. The ship was very well maintained. Only about 900 people were on board (well below the capacity of ~2500). At times the ship seemed ...
We were very excited to be cruising again after countless cancelled cruises due to Covid! Celebrity required 100% of their crew to be vaccinated, as well as all passengers 12 and over. Passengers were also required to submit a negative Covid test within 72 hours of boarding the ship. The crew was constantly cleaning the ship, wearing masks and the buffet was no longer serve yourself. My husband ...
We are big fans of Celebrity and Azamara. This particular cruise was in late July from Seattle to Alaska, and it was our fourth time sailing on Millennium.
Let's be frank. The travel industry and trade media were focused on this FIRST major cruise ship visit to Alaska for 2021 during COVID. The crew of Millennium passed with flying colors. Frankly, this was one of our favorite cruises ever ...
My wife and I sailed on Celebrity Millennium in June from St. Maarten to the southern Caribbean. We loved that cruise so we booked on the Millennium for it's first Alaska Cruise (Post Pandemic) sailing from Seattle July 23,2021 with stops in Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway.
We have sailed on Millennium before and like the vibe.
The guests ranged in age from young families to seniors with a ...
Penthouse Suite Celebrity Eclipse October 2019
Beautiful suite, friendly crew! We missed the tea time “delights” delivered by the butler. Also fresh flowers, fresh fruit basket and towel animals. When we asked what happened to them we were told it is the new corporate policy.
The crew then delivered the most beautiful arrangement of red roses to the suite. Then came a few days of ...
This was the second time on the eclipse and it doesn’t fail to disappoint. The ship was in good shape from the public areas to the cabin. Selected late seating as that was only thing available when booked, the staff wasn’t able to assign a perminate table for two the first night, but they accommodated us the second night and we stayed with the same table for the remaining 10 nights. The head ...
We’ve been on a Eclipse before & had a great time, so when we were thinking about another cruise for our 50th anniversary & Eclipse was going from Vancouver to Hawaii, well, it was a nobrainer!
We flew into Vancouver the day before & stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel, a bit pricey but they bring your luggage to the ship (actually to our stateroom), sold. We’d stay there again if cruising from ...
