Alaska Pre-Cruise Tour #13 in case you were wondering which meant relocating every night. Seeing the interior of Alaska starting in Fairbanks was well worth it, but it renewed my love of cruising (unpack once, repack at the end).
Celebrity is my eight cruise line and is now my favorite (right after Windstar). The ship is clean, well maintained and the staff is excellent. The service was prompt every where without being intrusive. The lack of continuous sales pitches from oversea speakers was refreshing. It seemed like those who wanted to play Bingo were able to find the location and play with out the rest of us being hassled.
The Captain's Club events were nice and low key which would not be surprising considering that there were only about 100 of us on the ship. This is in contrast to the Cruise Critic Get Together which rated somewhere around pathetic. Yes, we had a location and some coffee and tea: a couple of crew members came by and introduced themselves but that was it. Considering the support and fun with RCI and NCL, one has to wonder.
Large porthole, comfortable room. Only one chair due to the fact it is a connecting room. Last room on the hall next to the crew door. Crew is not always as quiet at night as one might like: you could hear doors banging occasionally as well as an outside line that was slapping the side for several hours.
