In September we are going on an 11 day round trip cruise with princess out of San Francisco however you didn’t mention that option.

Great information! Your video was VERY helpful! 💕

Last December my cruise with Norwegian Spirit from Honululu back home to Moorea was cheaper than one-way-flight.🤩🚢 Greetings from Moorea (sister island of Tahiti) in French-Polynesia 🌴 🏖 😎 🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺

I like your videos. There is something on this one that I wanted to let you know. Viking Cruise Lines does go into Glacier Bay, also. All of Viking's cabins have balconies.

I love your format! And I love your cat! No one else has mentioned the info about waiting to pay off your cruise in case there is a price adjustment or getting a bonus credit as a shareholder or the AARP discount. Your tips are the best!

Love love love the Summit. The aqua class suites and Blu are my favorites. Bayonne to Bermuda. Would do it again in a minute.

Oh wow, we sailed this ship back in 2011 and thought it was massive!! How times have changed! This does look like a bargain. We loved the thalasothearpy pool. Cool tip on the air tag. We agree that the main dining rooms on celebrity are the best. Amazing chocolate fountain! Great review. Cheers 🍻

Thank you for the review. I have Crohn's Disease and thus cannot and should not drink alcohol, but for me, the Primer Drinks package is absolutely worth getting for $80.00 per day on my upcoming European cruise. 1. I have a minisuite for my upcoming cruise. Gratuities are $17. per person, $80 - $17 for tips = 63 dollars. 2. I do my best to exercise for my autoimmune disease, so I will participate in fitness classes, especially yoga, which helps with my illness. Since I will only be able to take fitness classes on half of the days due to excursions booked, I estimate $8.00 for classes-for $63 - $8 = $55. 3. I like smoothies every day, sometimes twice a day = $55 - 12 = $43 4. On cruise ships, if I have a drinks package, I like bottled water - eight bottles per day, especially if I am going on excursions - 8 x $2.5 = $10.00 = 18% gratuity = $11.80. So, $43 - $11.80 - = $31.20 5. I am running two NODEs for two different cryptocurrencies. For this purpose, I need two computers, plus an iPad and my iPhone. I can use Messenger as an interface for phone calls and texting, and I have an iPad for use on the ship. $31.20 - 25 = $6.20 for the cost of the Wifi. 6. I like casual dining-about half the days I am at sea-so instead of $14.99, I divide that number by half, which is $7.50. So $6.20 - $7.50 = I am ahead by $1.30 cents. 7. I enjoy specialty coffees and teas, so $7.50 - $1.30 + $7.50 means I am ahead of the game by $8.80. 8. It is nice to have unlimited professional photographs delivered to my cell phone or USB and three printed pictures. So, I would add even more value to the $8.80. It is nice to know that I am taking advantage of things, even if I cannot drink alcohol.

About to go on an Alaskan cruise on this ship in 3 weeks! Excited. Thanks for the tour 😊

Wow! I’m impressed. I wish I had your trained eye for wildlife. We are going again in July and I can’t wait! My in-laws saw whales, bear and a mother moose with her baby!🫎🐋

My first Celebrity cruise was in the 1990's on the Celebrity Galaxy. This was before the Millennium ships had been launched. For me, Celebrity is the best value out there in all their classes. It has always been a quality experience.

Love seeing you put on the Vancouver uniform. 😂 I wear glasses so I just pulled my touque down over the top of them, so the wind didn’t get into my eyes.

I’ve been researching the Alaska cruise for a couple weeks. Your video is my favourite! Super informative and fun, most importantly, to the point. Thank you!

Thank you , I wish you were my travel agent

Please upload a 1080p version

Lovely kitty

Hi, the food looks delicious. I wasn’t sure what the food would be like in the MDR. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

Often the one way air fare is not cheap.

Been on the Celebrity Summit several times. Same with the Constellation. They are Millennium Class ships, and those I like. Been on the Celebrity Silhouette Class in it's inaugural season. It left a lot to be desired. Celebrity isn't as good today as it used to be when the Chandris family owned it. Celebrity Cruise Line makes their own Celebrity Salad Dressing. Cafe al Bacio was a favorite place for us. The serving of food by staff is better than the chaos that a free for all self serving is. Not a fan of silent disco. The theater was nice. Saw the only living member of The Lettermen that was still alive. He recounted being on The Jack Benny Program. The Millennium Class trips to Canada and Bermuda were really good.

Bargain!! we just sailed on her and LOVED it!!

I like your video straight to the points with relevant items, videos, website shown.

Our first Celebrity cruise was a great success in our book, even on one of their older ships.I know that many of you are sailing Celebrity Summit right now in Alaska. This smaller ship will serve you well. Be sure to check out the made to order items in the buffet. Yum!🍳🥗

She’s a great ship!

How's is the weather in July? We are set to sail in July from Seattle and I want to be sure we dress appropriately.

Thank you for the alert. I loved the food at the Cosmopolitan. Each night was a treat and yes had to try multiple appetizers and entrees. I missed lobster night too. Keep up the good work.

FWIW, if you want to see "real" glaciers and calving early in the season is best. Late in the year it's just not as impressive. Want t-shirts, ball caps and other souvenirs? We were surprised that Juneau was equal to or less expensive than most other tourist destinations.

Love the idea of luggage finder. I think the artwork would be very interesting for me. Sounds like it was a total deal!!

Kristi, we were on this cruise also. Ours is a somewhat less glowing revue of food and activities. We are hooked on the larger Solstice series ships for entertainment around the ship. Glad to see your review and the memories they invoke.!

Bargain or bust? Looks like a bargain to me. Thanks again for another great video. You put a lot of effort into them and it shows!

Princess seems to have really reduced staffing as service is nowhere near what it used to be and their ratings show it. As an elite traveler, I like thousands of others, will be looking elsewhere. Princess has commoditized their business trying to be everything to everyone and not doing anything well.

Good tip on the passport card

Believe it or not, cruising Alaska in April and October can be beautiful. As with any time of the year in Alaska, the weather can be variable. Of course, if you’re a delicate hothouse flower, then don’t go during those seasons. One blessing is that in the spring and fall there are few children on the ship, which can make your cruise so much more enjoyable.

Great tips. I have been on a cruise 🛳 to Alaska twice . September will be my 3rd. I learned some really good practical tips from you.❤

I agree! For me cruising is a tasting and when I find something I like, I can go back and savor. You?

Mid-April to mid October. Not only is it colder, the days are shorter too. You have way over simplified your "facts" about animals. Alaska is not Disney land; you can predict when and what you will see animals.

Hi Kristie, I am going on the same Princess Cruise in Mid June. Vancouver North bound and up, Ketchikan just R&R, Skagway- White Pass railway, Juneau- Whale watching tour, and the Mendenhall Glacier, The dome train from Whittier to McKinley Also the 3 days and nights in McKinley/Denali, Flying over and all around Denali and glacier landing in a small 6 seater plane, then paddlewheel boat on up to Fairbanks to fly home. Thank you for you tips and sharing. You are so right about this being a bucket list vacation. Cheers to you Kristie

So glad to see that Columbia jacket! I have the same and thought I should pack it. So light, but so warm!

Great video. We do hate the Vancouver port. 2.5 hours to check in. They had us dump our water just before security. It was hot in there and several people had to get medical attention from all the heat and standing. It is such a mess.

I want to try The smaller boats like UNcruise or National Geographic Venture.

Where is the Bald Eagle zoo

I’ll be going alone maybe this summer

What a great video - what side of ship was your room-

Went on Windstar it was great going on a Boutique line going into small ports not the huge ports with 6 ships in large ports. huge ships huge problems and crowds.

Lots of great information. You are easy on the eyes as well.

Good plan. Will you let me know?

I read that all room service is $9.95. I like to get coffee in the morning through room service but I’m not going to pay $10 bucks for a cup of coffee every morning. We cruise in a couple of days.

Great helpful video, thanks! Heading out on our first cruise to Alaska in 10 days. Didn't even think about mosquitoe repellent, thanks for the tip!

Im going in July. This will be my first Alaskan cruise.
