Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm beyond impressed. It is absolutely stellar. So well done celebrity.

The Omic ACI experience at Sushion 5 was nothing less than spectacular.

This might be my best experience I've ever had on Celebrity.

We had a once in a-lifetime opportunity... we saw a male bear chasing a female bear.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

We make the best of our first sea day aboard the Celebrity Solstice by getting up early to have some breakfast in Luminae, the suite restaurant. We do some activities all around the ship before heading back there for lunch. After lunch we enjoy the peace and quiet of our balcony and room before heading over to Sushi on Five for a special Omakase dinner. We awake to the beauty of the inside passage on day three as we head toward our first stop of Icy Strait point. We grab another breakfast in Luminae before heading back to our room to take in the beautiful scenery and spend time together. Once we arrive we head off the ship to explore and head up the mountain on the gondola for some incredible views. We do a ship excursion called Destination Highlight: Wildlife in Spasski River Valley and Bear Search where we get up close and personal to four beautiful brown bears!!! Back on board we take in some tunes and have a steak dinner at Fine Cut Steakhouse.
