A little about us: this cruise was my husband and I (32 and 29 respectively) and was our 4th cruise (all with Celebrity) and our first trip to Alaska.

Pre Cruise:

We arrived into Seattle on Thursday night for a Friday departure, we stayed at the Doubletree airport hotel, it was huge! Shuttle service was provided, it was quick and easy, we got checked in with no problem. Our room was clean and spacious, completely adequate. Buyer Beware - we booked this hotel with hotwire and called to confirm a king sized bed shortly after booking, upon arrival, we were given 2 double beds and told that with hotwire/priceine purchases it's first come first served, as we checked in around 11pm, all King beds were taken. If the room type is important spend a few extra dollars and book direct through their website. Read more
