Although my husband and I have traveled the world, this was our first cruise. We decided to experiment by using our home port of Seattle. In summary, the experiment was a success and we will cruise again, perhaps with Celebrity or possibly on their more prestigious line, Seaborne.
The Good:
* Naturalist Brent Nixon was GREAT! I can't say enough about his ability to teach, entertain and grab the attention of everyone, of every age, in the room. Don't miss this. In fact, take your kids to his first presentation and give them a set of binoculars. They will be so busy scanning the ocean and shoreline for animals that you can sit back and enjoy your adult beverages in peace. Illusionist Jason Bishop was very entertaining for all ages as well.
Good Room location, quiet and you get plenty of exercise walking to the elevators!
