Alaskan culture, wilderness and wildlife (sans mosquitoes) the early May 10-18 Celebrity Millennium was ideal. Quick Embarkation Hint: Print XPRESS PASS. Upgraded one drink pkg. to Premium. First night, specialty dining discounted Qsine eclectic, international food mash-up. Dined other evenings in Blu, spa inspired dining room for Aqua class lovely w/ outstanding service. Hint: Any item on Metropolitan menu can be ordered in Blu.
Entertainment: Broadway show great and we especially enjoyed Presto Strings and Danilo Gomes guitarist. For some unexpected frivolity... Silent Disco. The Solarium Spa heat followed by tropical showers. Hint: Work out before using the spa. Saw a whale pod from the sauna in the women's dressing room on our day at sea; spectacular.
Ports: Some Hightlights-
Cabin Review
Aqua Class
Cabin A2
If you want a central location this is it... right off the stairwell with the library in front of it (a perfect quiet sitting area when you're not sitting on or looking out the balcony windows taking in the stunning coast. We saw whales, glaciers and magnificent mountains right from the cabin. The balcony was plenty big enough for us even though we understand it was smaller than most due to the suite next door. The only drawback was an overhang from deck 10 obstructed a panoramic view if taking a picture. Otherwise loved the location and our cabin steward Osbert.
Port Reviews
Ketchikan
We took a taxi to Saxman Totem Village, see eleven totems and watch the carver in the totem carving shed. Downtown walking tour will take you to the Stedman Street Bridge, Creek Street, Married Man's path and to a 10 ft. Salmon Sculpture. Very walkable.
Icy Strait
We walked to the cultural center and enjoyed the immersion story telling and dance by local Tlingit high school students. We saw whales bubble feed right from the shore and from the ship.
Skagway
Took the SMART bus $5 for the day and went to the end Skagway Museum. Don't miss the duck quilt, Northern Light pictures and Tlingit and Haida artifacts. We walked back and bought a Ulu knife and bowl that I used to make chopped salad yesterday. There's a cute quilt shop on 3rd and Broadway Rushin' Tailor's Quilt Shop. Everywhere you look the mountain terrain breathtaking.
Seward
Oh, the Alaska Sealife Center is a must do! We enjoyed learning about the activism around sea life and our oceans. We delighted in the aviary with playful Puffins and ducks and across the way an expresssive Sea Lion. Jen at Alaska Shuttle Service was outstanding picked us up right at the Seward Millennium's Disembarkation port. We spent 2 1/2 hours at the Alaska Sealife Center and then went on to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and other photo ops and to Anchorage to rent a car for a weeks adventure driving to Denali.
Vancouver
The perfect precruise evening solely with public transit and it was easy. We stayed the night in Airbnb: Amazing suite, EXCELLENT LOCATION flew into Vancouver and took the Sky Train downtown exited Burrard stop and walk approximately 2-blocks. We had dinner at Tableau Bar Bistro across the street and it was amazing. Highly recommend both. We want to go back and spend time in Vancouver and Victoria.
