Embarkation

5 out of 5
Couldn’t have been easier. Checked our bags quickly and there was no wait checking-in. Everyone was so competent and friendly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room was lovely. There was no wait to be seated. The menus were filled with many selections, it was hard to choose. Our meals were delicious. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. We only ate at one specialty restaurant, Sushi on 5. We received a warm welcome. The menu offered many tasty choices. Our dinners were so delicious. The servers were so friendly and accommodating. It was a wonderful experience. The buffets were great. The selection of food was very varied, something for everyone, and it was all so good. Everything we ate was delicious. The servers were so friendly too!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We only swam in the pool because most of the day we were off the ship. We were invited to the heliport for a bon voyage party when we departed from Antigua which was very cool. We also attended a get together on the last night in the Sky Lounge with other Concierge Cabin passengers. We met the management team for cocktails and dancing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage shows were fantastic. We made sure we went to all of the shows in the theatre. The performers were extremely talented and energetic. Their performances put a smile on my face and joy in my heart. We also enjoyed the ship’s band who played in various areas throughout the ship. The DJ played a good variety of music. We also participated in the Silent Disco in the Sky Lounge and it was so much fun. We danced non-stop from beginning to end. Last but not least, Legacy preformed twice and they really brought the house down. We truly enjoyed all of the performances/performers!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters were extremely accommodating and friendly. Our room steward, Gary, was fantastic! He kept our room clean and tidy. He was always there to help with any questions or requests that we had. He was very accommodating and friendly. The Excursion Desk staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with choosing shore excursions. They gave us many good suggestions.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship’s design was just fine. It was easy to find everything you needed. This ship was the cleanest ship I had ever seen. The crew’s maintenance team was great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was spotless and well appointed. There was plenty of storage space. The bathroom was small but sufficient. The shower was good, water pressure and water temperature was great. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were very good quality. There was plenty of outlets and the lightening was good too. The sofa was very small, actually it was more like an oversized chair. Only one person could sit at a time. The veranda was exactly as we expected. It was nice sitting out there while we sailed.

Ship tip

I would strongly suggest sailing on the Millennium. The was what made the difference. They are one big family and I believe they truly enjoy what they do. They all made us feel very welcome!

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We spent our last day touring Old San Juan on our own. We did not do an excursion. The city is very walkable and we got to see everything we wanted to see. We ate in a local restaurant and enjoyed the local cuisine.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion. We took a ferry over to Honeymoon beach and spent the day there just relaxing. It was great!

Basseterre, St. Kitts Did not visit port

Unfortunately it rained very heavily and we never left the ship.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
We did not go on an excursion. We did some shopping at the market and then took a private tour of the island. We stopped at a local beach for a few hours. We had a full day doing a little bit of everything.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
We did a horseback riding expedition which was a lot of fun. In the afternoon we stayed on board and swam in the pool.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
We did a snorkeling excursion. It was pouring when we left but thankfully it stopped raining. We met so many nice people. We saw stingrays, turtles and schools of fish. It was a lot of fun. Lunch was served and it was very tasty. The crew made sure we all had a good time and we all had a great time!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Departing was very well organized. We had a buffet breakfast and our luggage was waiting for us when we got off the ship. There were plenty of taxis available to take you wherever you wanted to go.
