This cruise was chosen specifically for the itinerary, sailing 5/9-19. The weather was fabulous, no rain in 10 days. This was my first time in Alaska, however it won’t be the last. We did excursions in every port, booked through Cruises Only, and didn’t have to mess with the masses on big busses. Cruises Only used different companies than Celebrity, so all of our excursions had 15 people or less. It was great, more personalized. Loved every port, nothing in Alaska disappointed. However, Celebrity has gone downhill since I last cruised on the Equinox in 2017. Their personalized high quality service that they pride themselves on is lacking. I read several reviews prior to our trip, and have to agree with most, food was a major disappointment. The only highlight was Tuscan Grille, which served a fine filet. We had “ anytime dining”, never had to wait in Moonlight Sonata, but food is mediocre. I admit I’m a picky eater, but not everyone wants duck, fish, or seafood every night. They do serve salmon, NY strip steak and grilled chicken breast every night. Just feel quality & service have gone downhill. The Oceanview Buffet also has suffered, not from variety, but quality. There are many different ethnic choices, but taste is bland. Same goes foe desserts at the buffet, great presentation, but no taste. Ice cream is a hit though, very good. Entertainment varied , acrobats amazing, but one show centered around Amadeus, was weird and boring. Had a comedian one night that was hilarious, wish he could have performed more. Also had a group that performed Motown songs that were very talented. Loved Alejandro the cruise director, very funny. But having said that, really wish there was more activities on the ship. Felt ship had a “ boring” vibe. Shopping was so-so on board, they want to push watches, however they are way overpriced, as is most of the jewelry. We had a concierge class veranda cabin, love the balcony, our room steward , Taat, kept things neat & clean. Don’t think I would pay for the “ Concierge Class” again, the perks aren’t worth the money. Also, the concierge is available to all passengers. Having sailed Princess, NCL, RCCL, Carnival in the past, don’t feel I will be returning to Celebrity. Again the trip was great, Celebrity charges way too much for what is provided, unfortunately.
