I am not a cruise lover because I think you have limited time at the ports of call but this Alaskan cruise was adifferent experience. Its not like a cruise in the Caribbean were all you see is water til you get to your destination here you are constantly looking at beautiful scenery. I also had the opportunity to see wildlife throughout the cruise. Best part of the trip was probably our visit to Hubber Glacier. Wow! is probably the only way I can describe it. We were right there. The staff on Celebrity was great as well. From the waiter staff to the people that made up the rooms they were all great. They also had an environmentalist (I forget his name) talking about all the wildlife we would see in Alaska and he was great (an I'm not an a very green person) but he was very funny and informative. If I had to say one negative about the cruise is the length of stay at the ports especially at Ketchikan. In Juneau we went on a whale watching cruise and were able to see over a dozen whales as well as beautiful scenery. The weather they tellme was unusual as it was sunny all the time (I guess we got lucky). It was also warmer than expected. I hope to take this cruise again someday...maybe the longer trip. I definately recommend a veranda if not at least a window as stated before you are constantly sorrounded by mountains and have plenty of opportunity to see wildlife.
