General impressions from the first leg: ship is in great shape, crew is top-notch in all respects, food in the main dining room has been excellent; one or two average dishes but those are the exception. Portions of main dishes are a bit on the small side but that's given us tacit permission to have multiple appetizers.:D Also, we recommend getting a pasta to split with others as sort of a separate course as those portions are a bit on the small side as well. Always available escargot is some of the best we've ever had on a cruise ship. Always available Eggs Benedict has also be great and done just right. The pizza is fantastic. Hand thrown with quality ingredients; it is our go-to snack any time of day. They have a design-your-own stir fry station that is fabulous. Haven't tried anything else at the buffet.

 

Weather has been unbelievable. When we checked prior to the cruise it was doom and gloom but it has really been nice; lowest daytime temp(other than at the glacier) was low 50's but with no wind, that is fine. High 50's low 60's the rule. Alaska has been everything we imagined and more. Glad we have 7 more days to go.

Hi Harry, I just wanted to say thank you for all the information you have shared. This is our first Alaskan Cruise and our first Celebrity Cruise. We are so excited to be going and we will be celebrating our 25th Wedding anniversary on July 3. We will be on the southbound cruise June 29th . The pictures have all been wonderful! Grant and I hope to meet you and your lovely wife onboard. We just booked May 16 or we would have been chatting with everyone who is going on the same cruise
