This is the second time we have cruised with Celebrity and our first to Alaska. Boarding the ship was a breeze! We arrived at the port about 1030 and were seated in the Ocean View café by 11am. The weather was incredibly gorgeous and hot so by noon I was pool side and eventually in the pool!

Our cabin was maintained by Janette who couldn’t have been more attentive or lovely. Being the princess who could easily find the pea, I asked for an extra mattress topper and was provided with an egg crate mattress which helped maintain my princess like sleeping patterns. =) The room was clean but the balcony like many areas of the ship showed some wear and tear.

Food: We were aqua class folks, which I would never do again and could eat in Blu. We ate there twice and had decent meals, but nothing I would rave about. The lobster night was a bust. TOUGH lobster. And I get it, it’s a huge ship and many mouths to feed so one can’t expect gourmet food all the time. We did dine in Silk Harvest and loved every bite! Nur our waiter was the bomb and Jane my wine go getter was also wonderful! We had two late day excursions so two meals were off the ship. The Ocean View Café. It’s food that has to feed the masses. Again, I’m not all that crazy about what they offered there, but trust me I didn’t starve!! =) That said, it’s doable. We did have room service for breakfast each day and that was ok. Or eating on the balcony watching the sun come up makes food better tasting? Read more
