Good itinerary. Great crew that was very friendly and helpful at all times. Food was not as good as on previous Celebrity cruises. The specialty dining rooms were exceptional. Easy embarkation and debarkation to and from ship. Port of Los Angeles was very disorganizesd.

Thanks for sharing 😀 I forgot to mention the chair hogs in the solarium. Why can’t people just be nice on vacation!

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I love the Celebrity Millennium. Great crew and despite being the oldest ship in the fleet, she really shines. Back on her again, sailing to Japan this year.
