Our first cruise with Celebrity. We have cruised on other cruiselines in our quest to find a "favorite". Another cruiseline was already shaping up to be that...now Celebrity is definitely in the running! We'll get another data point in October aboard Celebrity Summit. We'll also visit Alaska again! Overall, Celebrity Millenium and this itinerary DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Seamless and hassle-free
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We didn't use Main Dining or any specialty dining at all. We prefer buffet due to flexibility and informality. The buffet was, essentially THE SAME menu every day. There was, however, enough diversity in their setup to allow for something different every day.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We did not participate but there seemed to be plenty for those who did...
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The first evening show in the theatre was HORRIBLE. The singers and dancers were good...the orchestra was awesome...the overall PRODUCTION sucked. It was like a bad high school production with professional performers. Happily, those same performers redeemed themselves in EVERY OTHER production! The acrobatic act (as seen on AGT) was simply breath-taking! Overall, after that first bomb, the shipboard entertainment was EXCELLENT!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Putra, "always excellent", our cabin steward went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. His positive attitude was infectious. Every staff member was courteous and cordial. SENIOR MANAGEMENT was always visible walking around and visiting with guests.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
EXCELLENT! 'Nough said...
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Slightly smaller than other cabins of the same category that we have stayed in. Well maintained, bright, and clean.
Ship tip
Do the "Behind the Scenes" onboard excursion and attend ALL of Celia's wildlife presentations. Oh, and bring binoculars!
No Diamonds International here! The oddest cruise port we have ever seen! Remote and quaint. Enjoyed touring the old cannery and meeting someone who actually grew up in one of the THREE houses there! Maybe my favorite stop...
The history of White Pass and the railroad was interesting as well as disturbing..."Soapy" Smith was a scoundrel..."White Pass Railroad and Skagway Highlights" was a great excursion.
We did a LONG, third-party (ACT) excursion to visit Seward and Anchorage due to our late flight. Our driver/guide was EXCELLENT! I called him "Rainman" because of his wealth of knowledge...
Appreciate your detailed review. Glad you are trying new cruise lines in order to find a favorite. Your review gives a wonderful picture of cruising and Alaska.
