Celebrity Solstice Alaska Cruise Day 5

Day 5 of our Celebrity Solstice Alaska cruise brought us to Juneau, Alaska, where we headed out on an unforgettable whale watching excursion with Juneau Tours.

🐋 Whale Watching with Juneau Tours

Our morning began with a short walk from the Celebrity Solstice to meet Juneau Tours for our whale watching excursion. After a narrated bus ride to the harbor, we boarded our boat and headed out in search of Alaska’s incredible marine wildlife.

Although the weather started out rainy, it didn’t take long before we were rewarded with amazing sightings of humpback whales. Even more exciting, we were fortunate enough to spot orcas, something the crew explained is relatively uncommon. Having knowledgeable guides and a naturalist onboard made the experience even more memorable as they shared fascinating information about the whales and the local ecosystem.

🚤 Exploring Downtown Juneau

After warming up with a late lunch back aboard the Celebrity Solstice, we returned to downtown Juneau to explore the waterfront, browse souvenir shops, and enjoy the lively atmosphere around the cruise port. With several cruise ships in port, the streets were busy with visitors enjoying everything Juneau has to offer.

From local fudge shops and Alaska-themed souvenirs to scenic waterfront views, it was a relaxing way to spend the afternoon before heading back to the ship.

Dinner in the Grand Epernay Restaurant followed, where we enjoyed another delicious meal while taking in beautiful evening views as the ship sailed away from Juneau.

With another wonderful day behind us, we looked ahead to our next destination, Ketchikan, and another exciting Alaska adventure.

The Celebrity Solstice spent nearly two hours slowly rotating so everyone onboard could enjoy different perspectives of the glacier. It was another reminder that no two glacier visits are ever exactly the same.

One of the highlights of our Celebrity Solstice Alaska cruise was visiting Icy Strait Point, one of Alaska’s most unique cruise destinations. During Day 3 of our 7-night Alaska cruise, we enjoyed a relaxing morning aboard the Celebrity Solstice before heading ashore to explore everything Icy Strait Point has to offer, including the scenic nature trail, the historic cannery, and the beautiful waterfront community of Hoonah.

The walk is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) each way and follows the shoreline, offering beautiful ocean views and a relaxing way to experience the area beyond the cruise port. It ended up being one of our favorite parts of the afternoon.

MSC Seascape Caribbean Cruise: Final Sea Day Fun & Italian Night - Day 7 Vlog

Our final day aboard MSC Seascape had arrived, and while it’s always a little bittersweet knowing a cruise is coming to an end, we were determined to make the most of every moment. Day 7 was a relaxing sea day filled with great food, fun activities, entertainment, and one final chance to enjoy everything this beautiful ship has to offer before returning to Galveston. ☀️

🍳 Breakfast at Butcher’s Cut

We started our morning with breakfast at Butcher’s Cut, MSC Seascape’s specialty steakhouse, which offers a complimentary breakfast service. We enjoyed fresh pastries, coffee, juice, a smoothie bowl, and steak and eggs while taking in beautiful ocean views from our table by the window.

After breakfast, we stopped by the Loft Café for coffee and a few extra pastries before heading to one of the most important events of the day.

🎭 MSC Seascape Disembarkation Presentation

At the Chora Theatre, we attended the disembarkation presentation where MSC explained the procedures for departure day. Guests learned about luggage collection, departure zones, walk-off options, and timing for the following morning.

One pleasant surprise was seeing the captain and senior officers participate in the presentation while also recognizing many of the hardworking crew members who help make each cruise memorable.

☀️ Pool Olympics, Snow Party & Sea Day Activities

The afternoon was packed with activities around the Marina Pool on Deck 18.

The MSC Pool Olympics brought plenty of laughs as guests competed in fun challenges including relay races, inflatable tube competitions, and team games in the pool.

Immediately afterward, the Snow Party took over the pool deck with music, dancing, and foam bubbles flying through the air. Despite the windy conditions, guests were fully engaged and enjoying the lively atmosphere.

We also watched the entertaining Officers vs Guests competition, featuring bottle flipping challenges, singing contests, team games, and plenty of friendly competition between crew members and passengers.

Of course, no sea day would be complete without a stop for ice cream 🍦 and some relaxing time in the hot tubs while soaking up the Caribbean sunshine.

🎤 MSC Seascape Crew Talent Show

Later in the afternoon, we attended the MSC Seascape Crew Talent Show in the Chora Theatre.

This special performance showcased talented crew members from various departments throughout the ship. From singers to performers representing different areas of the vessel, it was a wonderful opportunity to see another side of the people who work so hard behind the scenes during every cruise.

Our dinner included:

  • Caprese Salad
  • Fried Calamari with Marinara Sauce
  • Chicken Parmigiana
  • Linguini alle Vongole
  • Tiramisu
  • Lemoncello Cake

The food was excellent, and it was a fun way to celebrate our final evening aboard MSC Seascape.

Dreamscape featured:

  • Live singers

📸 Officer Selfies in the Atrium

Before calling it a night, we attended the Officer Selfie event in the atrium.

Guests had the opportunity to meet officers from around the ship and take complimentary photos using their own phones. It was another example of how visible and approachable the officers were throughout our sailing.

MSC Seascape Day 6: Cozumel, Cenote Chaak Tun Cave Swim & Playa del Carmen Adventure 🌊🚢

MSC Seascape Caribbean Cruise: Cozumel - Cenote Chaak Tun Cave Snorkel - Day 6 Vlog

Day 6 of our MSC Seascape Caribbean cruise brought us to Cozumel, Mexico, where we set off on one of the most unique excursions of our trip. We booked the MSC Cruises Caverns and Underground Swim and Shopping in Playa del Carmen excursion, which took us across the water to the mainland and deep into the fascinating Cenote Chaak Tun cave system. From underground caverns and crystal-clear waters to exploring the streets of Playa del Carmen, this turned into an unforgettable day ashore before another fun evening aboard MSC Seascape.

Ferry to Playa del Carmen & Cenote Chaak Tun Adventure ⛴️🌴

Our day began with a ferry ride from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen, followed by a short shuttle ride to Cenote Chaak Tun. After getting fitted with water shoes, life jackets, helmets, and snorkeling masks, we entered the underground cave system for an incredible guided adventure.

Inside the cenotes, we explored ancient limestone caverns filled with impressive rock formations, stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal-clear freshwater pools. We navigated narrow cave passages, learned about the geology of the area, and spent time swimming through the refreshing underground waters. The cave system was much larger than we expected, and the experience felt like stepping into another world.

Exploring Playa del Carmen 🏖️🛍️

After our cave adventure, we returned to Playa del Carmen for some free time. We spent time wandering through the colorful streets, browsing local shops, and soaking in the atmosphere of this popular beach destination.

We also made our way down to the waterfront to enjoy views of the beautiful beach and Caribbean Sea before heading back to meet our excursion group. While our time was limited, it gave us a great glimpse of Playa del Carmen and left us wanting to return for a longer visit in the future.

Back on MSC Seascape 🚢

After the ferry ride back to Cozumel and returning to the ship, we cleaned up and headed out for another evening aboard MSC Seascape. Tonight featured a fun western-themed atmosphere throughout the ship, complete with themed music and menu selections in the main dining room.

Dinner at the Cala Jondal Restaurant included Texas-style favorites such as smoked brisket, pulled pork quesadillas, cornbread, and peach cobbler. It was another enjoyable meal and a great way to end an action-packed day ashore.

“In Concert” Show & Officers in Motion 🎸🎭

The evening entertainment included the “In Concert” production show in the Chora Theatre. This high-energy performance featured live music, talented singers, dancers, and rock classics that had the audience fully engaged throughout the show.

Afterward, we headed to the ship’s atrium for the popular Officers in Motion event, where MSC officers joined guests for a fun evening of dancing and entertainment. It was a lively way to wrap up another fantastic day onboard.

Final Thoughts

Day 6 combined adventure, exploration, and entertainment into one memorable cruise day. From swimming through the underground waters of Cenote Chaak Tun to exploring Playa del Carmen and enjoying another great evening aboard MSC Seascape, this was easily one of the highlights of our Caribbean cruise.

If you’re visiting Cozumel on an MSC cruise and looking for something unique beyond the beaches, this excursion is definitely worth considering.

MSC Seascape Day 5: Roatan Snorkeling, West Bay Beach & Love Blooms Show 🐠🌴🚢

MSC Seascape Caribbean Cruise: Roatan Snorkeling & Bananarama Beach Day - Day 5 Vlog

Day 5 of our MSC Seascape Caribbean cruise brought us to the beautiful island of Roatan, Honduras. From relaxing at West Bay Beach and snorkeling along the reef to enjoying one of the best evening shows of the cruise, this turned out to be an unforgettable day aboard the MSC Seascape.

Arrival in Roatan & Heading to West Bay 🌴☀️

We started the morning with breakfast at the buffet before disembarking in Coxen Hole, Roatan. After meeting our private excursion driver outside the port, we made the scenic drive across the island to West Bay Beach, where we had booked the Bananarama Resort Beach Day Pass through Shore Excursioneer.

The drive over gave us a chance to see more of the island’s lush scenery before arriving at the beach resort. Once there, we got settled into our loungers under the palm trees and explored the beautiful beach area and resort amenities.

Snorkeling at Bananarama Resort 🐟🌊

One of the highlights of the day was definitely the snorkeling. We headed down toward the reef area near the far end of West Bay Beach, where the snorkeling conditions were fantastic. There were plenty of colorful fish, coral formations, and even a large puffer fish hiding among the rocks.

The water was warm and easy to access from the beach, making this a great snorkeling spot for both excursions and independent travelers. We brought our own snorkeling gear, but there were rental options available nearby for visitors who needed equipment.

As the afternoon went on, clouds and rain started moving into the area, so we decided to cut our beach day a little short and return to the cruise port early with another excursion group. Even with the weather changing, it was still an amazing experience.

Sailaway & Dinner on MSC Seascape 🚢

Back onboard the MSC Seascape, we enjoyed watching the sailaway from Roatan before getting ready for another evening of dining and entertainment. We returned to the Cala Jondal Restaurant for dinner, where we had another excellent meal and outstanding service from our dining team.

For appetizers, Andrea enjoyed the broccoli cheddar soup while I ordered Caesar salad and escargot, which turned out to be one of the best escargot dishes I’ve had on a cruise. For the main course, I tried the fish and chips while Andrea enjoyed the roast beef tenderloin with potatoes and vegetables.

Dessert included a dulce de leche cream cake and a layered apple cake with cinnamon sauce, both paired perfectly with coffee after dinner.

Love Blooms Show at Chora Theatre 🎭✨

The evening wrapped up with the Love Blooms production show at the Chora Theatre, which ended up being our favorite show of the cruise so far. The performance combined singing, dancing, aerial acts, colorful visuals, and a nature-themed love story that was captivating from start to finish.

The aerial performances and stage production were especially impressive, and it was one of those shows we almost wanted to watch a second time before the cruise ended.

Tomorrow, we arrive in Cozumel, Mexico, where we’ll take a ferry to the mainland for a cavern and underground swim adventure!
