Review summary
This was our fourth trip aboard Millennium in the last 3 years including two other repositioning cruises. It is clear they are cutting back on staff compared to previous cruises. Both in the main dining room and the buffet there was a clear lack of staff to the point where the maitre'd was clearing tables in both locations. The quality of the food has also slipped a notch or two. Still decent meals but not of the same quality as in the past. The ship was kept spotless throughout the voyage. Our room attendant kept the cabin sparkling and addressed us by name every time we saw him which was often. The bright spot was the entertainment. Had excellent shows in the main theater every night. The rest of the onboard bands were also very good. Overall a very good cruise but not as good as it has been in the recent past. Hope the staffing issue was a temporary thing and not a planned reduction by the front office.

Ship tip
Not sure why everyone worries about it being an "older" ship. She is in fine shape and is kept very clean by the crew.
