Planes, trains and automobiles (and ships) and salmon!

Just came back from a 7-day Alaskan cruise last week to Ketchican, Juneau and Skagway. We sailed on Celebrity Infinity out of Seattle, which had just been 'repositioned' to this cruise for the summer, which means it was taken off a previous route. The staff had some newbies, and it showed. Celebrity is supposed to he Royal Caribbean's upscale line, but between the age of the ship and the spotty service I'd rather go back to the big Royal Caribbean ships. The food was OK, nothing spectacular, which is what you can say about RCL's bigger ships.

The memorable highlight was our pre-boarding dinner at Anthony's at Pier 66 in Seattle, conveniently located right next to the cruise dock. We had the Copper River King salmon. Copper River salmon is REALLY good and here they know how to prepare it: Keep it Simple. So good. Mmmmmmm. I can still taste it's delicate sweet salmon flavor.



If you get to enjoy some salmon, make sure it's Copper River from Alaska, you won't be disappointed!
