Alaska was the reason for choosing this cruise. The itinerary is the principal reason for us to include cruising amongst our holidays.

All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The ship was run very smoothly by an amazing master, Captain Tasos. He spoke brilliant English (not always the case on Celebrity ships) and was very funny. He gave a talk about the building of Solstice with which he was closely involved.
