The best thing about Celebrity Solstice is our Aqua class experience and stateroom 1605! 
Cabin steward provided twice daily service, keep the room very clean. He even cleaned our bathroom in the evening with the turn-down service and made sure we have fresh towel.

1605 has an extra room in the balcony with chairs and foot stool. View from our balcony is amazing. Because this room is right next to the celebrity suite, the location is perfect. Very short walk from everything, including elevators and stairs. We're so glad we chose this room. We loved that the sofa/seating area is set right after you entering the room and not by the balcony. This way, the space is utilized much better than having to walk pass through the bed.

Not many things to see. We visited "Dolly's house" which was old, small or not well maintained. It took us 5 minutes to finish walking around the house! It is very dirty around the house and inside the house.

We walked to salmon ladder and watched the fish jumping on the rock. It was rainy in the morning, so we walked in rain. We purchased some smoked salmon but all shops are designed for tourist so we don't really expect high quality in this expensive salmon pack.

Arrived one night early to avoid hassle on the day of embarkation.

On the website, they said jacket will be provided, so we did not know that jacket was basically a very thin, water-proof, wind-proof type. They should have let us know more about inner layers which should included fleece and down jacket before adding their provide jacket. We had a one hour walk tour on the icefield, so it was extremely cold! They gave me a Large glove to use, although I would have fit into XS, which they also have plenty but didn't even ask or offer to me. They are crowded, dirty facility. All outerwear and belt bag are very old and didn't look clean. I wish I booked with other company like temsco that also offered through the cruiseline.  

We did visit Mendenhall Glacier, using taxi. It costs ~ $30 per trip which is almost the same price with shuttle bus. Nothing much to see at the visitor center. You will have to go with Glacier trekking or rafting tour to explore more.

We will definitely come back with Temsco! They are very professional. The helicopter is sparkling new, clean and well maintained. The tour guide on the Glacier is very knowledgeable and provided a lot of fun, fact and interesting story. This time, we dressed in our own clothes, only using their snow boots. We were able to tolerate the cold weather and enjoy walking on the glaciers!

BTW, the glacier water is the purist, best tasting water you can find in this planet.

This is our most favorite Alaskan city. White pass scenic railway, organized by cruise line is phenomenon. Minus one star because of the visit at Liarsville. We stopped there for an hour for nothing.

We were there at the sunset, nothing much to see.

Ok bus tour, limited view. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and fun. This type of tour is good for guests who are > 60 years old with limited walk and exercise. They took us to Tim and Horton which is disappointing. Overly sweet and so-so coffee. Since it is part of the tour and they gave us a lot of goodies, it is ok for us but we'd rather spend more time in the city before it's dark.

We don't need Evian, just to be fair, spring water is good enough but that is $2/500 mL bottle and you have to walk to the cafe to purchase one (plus tax + service charge).5 Stars -
