Great value. You can't find an all inclusive resort for the per person/per day cost.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
The scheudled check in times is great. Hope it stays post pandemic as it cuts down on crowds
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
All restaurants have very high quality food and presentation, great service. No crowds, no lines. Of course we sailed with under 1000 guests on a ship designed for more than 2X that.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Lots of stuff to do to keep you entertained or if you want to nap, that works too.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We almost exclusively sail Celebrity becasue we like the entertainment, especially the production shows, singers and dancers. iBroadway is the feature show. Terrific.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
This is Celebrity, people. Wht do you think they have a big X on the stack? Excellence and it is delivered consistently across the fleet.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
This is the first Millennium Class ship that Celebrity took delivery of. The keel was laid in 1999 and her first revenue sailing was in July 2001. We sailed aboard her in 2002 and several times since then. The 20 ship was refurbished in 2019 and that turned out really well. Not just new carpets and furniture cabin appointments were redone and several venues were remodeled. The Retreat and new cabins were added. Came out very well. Millennium also has an Ice (Martini) Bar. Not an original feature when the ship was built.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
This was a GTY cabin (assigned by the ship). Also Concierge as it was the same price as Balcony cabins. There were incentives to book this cabin. Using the GTY option is a good one in pandemic times because corporate is limiting the number of guests and there are plenty to choose from. Your not likely to get a dud using GTY like you may have gotten before all of this.
Ship tip
Look for perks and if available take advantage (e.g., "everything included.") Concierge gets you priority boarding (you'll be offered earlier time slots) and debarkation (you'll be able to choose when you want to get off)
How fast you get from the ship to outside the terminal will depend on how many agents are manning the desks. Even though we were #1 on the luggage tags and moved quickly down the gangway and into the luggage area of the terminal. The line was long and slow to get through immigration. Took about 25 minutes. Three agents and that's about what you should expect with guest loads below 1000.
