Review summary

I expected so much more from Celebrity. I has assumed their service, ship and food were on par with Princess. Was I ever wrong!! I actually believe that RC (parent company) is spending more time renovating the RC ships that Celebrity is being neglected.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The people were nice. But why is the baggage drop off not near the terminal?

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Poor service, poor food choices (everything in some sauce I suspect to hide the reuse of meats), and poor selection.

I cruised on the Millenium 45 days after you and found everything except the entertainment excellent. Sorry it didn't met your expectations.

We were on same cruise and loved it. The Millennium was Revolutionized in 2019, and used very little because of covid shut down. If you read this person's only other review they didn't like the Princes cruise either. Maybe cruising is not for you.

Sorry you had a bad experience. Celebrity is normally wonderful. We prefer Celebrity over rcl and Princess. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful Alaska scenery.

Thanks for the review. Hopefully you at least enjoyed Alaska, but you did not post anything about the ports. Alaska itself is the primary draw for cruises to Alaska, not the ships, so many cruise lines use their older/smaller ships there

While we enjoyed our recent AK Land/Cruise Pkg Fairbanks to Vancouver BC, regretfully we experienced too many Quality Improvement Opportunities due to poor communications and inadequate/short staffing! Intent to write CEO, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo

Celebrity Millennium cruise was nice. Working with was terrible.

Fantastic Alaska cruise!
