gosh I hope this goes thru at this late date. Loved the review! Have never cruised celebrity but thinking about a cruise in the near future. More important at this moment, am thinking of getting hubby a go pro for his birthday in two weeks! I am fascinated with the "twisty thingy" (note the high tech knowledge I am showing) that you used to attach your go pro to railings etc. Is there a name for that? I go on line and kinda search but do not see that "device" I know hubby would make exactly the same use as you did and would love to include with the gift, any help is much appreciated! The review was a "10" thanks so much!!

I feel it is always worth it to book thru the cruise line for any port excursions-knowing after reading for over 10yrs all the different reviews pros and cons-I do not think think the $$ can be that much different-for me the peace of mind

knowing if a bus or a boat breaks down and was based thru the line, they will wait is well worth it to me. Part of the budget I plan for when cruising.

As I expected, just the best information and help from everyone! I will do my research and thanks for the info regarding when Denali actually is open!

Thank you all so much already, I did not realize (duh) we could do the denali part first (could this be arranged thru the cruise line)? that is really what I would have wanted so have learned something already, and the info the airfares etc is great! Again many thanks, you know I will have a ton more questions-oh and as to the weather we will be traveling from Upstate NY so yeah no work on my non-tan on this cruise, ha! I think any weather would seem mild after this brutal winter so many of us went thru!

Thinking of a 2015 Alaska Cruise. Have only done carirbbean cruises. Have been reading and starting some research but need some expert help to start me down the path. Am thinking late May-maybe not as many people/kids that time of year but is it really too cold? How best to decide the cruise/land portion? Know we want the denali experience for a few days and in my initial research looks like with the land plus sea you typically leave from one port and fly home from say Anchorage, does this add alot to the overall price of this type of cruise. And finally since we are usually only sun seekers, if crusing in May to this destination, I assume there will be no deck chairs or loungers put to use? Any and all help is appreciated as always from this incredible resource of knowledge! Thanks in advance!
