Any questions?

Hi. How was the weather your week? Are there any specific items you wish you would’ve packed OR wished you hadn’t brought along?

We will be sailing her on June 21. Long term weather forecast looks like rain at the three AK ports. May change as we get closer. My husband thinks with the high humidity it won’t feel as cold as it is. We live in southern AZ desert and in general have forgotten how to be cold, Lol! I don’t want to overpack the cold weather stuff, or miss not having tshirts and shorts. What’s your advice? Thanks.

How was the entertainment on the cruise?  Did the Uptown group perform on your cruise?

It was cold and wet but typical for Alaska, I loved it!  I suggest packing for cold weather however did not need gloves and scarf.  First time we did this I bought a fleeced lined jacket with Alaska on it at the first port and that was heavy enough. I never had the oportunity to wear shorts except embarking at the beginning and disembarking at the end.

Smooth but we had one day towards the end it was a bit rough but not bad.

I don't remember Uptown Group.  I will check my dailies when I get back home.

Hello Scott, did you get priority boarding?  We are concierge class but our check in time is 1:00 (earliest available). Celebrity customer support rep said to just show up early at 10:30 and they will let us on. 

 

- replying to my own post :).  found this article which says we can board anytime after 10:30 AM.  https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2737280-concierge-class-embarkation/Joe

Yes and she was wonderful and humorous at the same time.

Priority Boarding?  No, however I did get assigned 12:30 in Concierge.  We took the 10 AM shuttle from Marriott Waterfront and we were allowed to go straight through the boarding process.  We then had a very brief wait as the ship was not quite ready for boarding and assigned group 4.  They ran through the groups very quickly.
