My
husband and I just got back from our Alaska cruise on the Celebrity Infinity. It
was a great experience, being our first cruise and our first time to Alaska. We
had an amazing room, and the ports were wonderful. We had a flight trip
cancelled in Juneau because of rain, but we weren't too upset. We did the gold
panning and salmon bake, and that was a lot of fun. The place they had the
salmon bake was lvely, and the salmon had just started spawning the week before,
so we got to see a lot of salmon swimming up to the waterfalls. We did the float
plane/cruise tour of the misty fjords in Ketchikan, and that was really
great,except that it was basically an all day trip. We did get to see 2 black
bears, many harbor seals, several bald eagles, and a bald eagle nest. In Skagway
we did the train ride, in the evening, and that was very enjoyable. It had a lot
of great views. I think the best of all was Hubbard Glacier. It was amazing, and
we were very surprised at how close we got to it (although I'm sure the distance
was hard to tell). The ship itself was great, and the crew were very helpful and
friendly. The only complaint we had about it was the embarkation. It was
extremly disorganized and a pain to get through. The disembarkation was much
better, very organized and smooth.
