Review summary
We enjoyed our cruise very much. The Millennium was likely nice to begin with and has relatively recently been renovated. Everything seemed very clean and new. The staff was great and there were multiple options for eating, drinking and entertainment every day.Embarkation

Food and Dining
Blu
This was in an area called QSine. This was recommended by our friends. It was lots of fun. There were four courses, and two options for each course. Your table was completely white and, before each course, an animated, very French, “petite chef” and various other characters were shown on our table as they talked about each course and often demonstrated how the course was being prepared and delivered to our plates. It is all very colorful and quite fun. The fee for us was $60/person but I understand it might have been less had we booked before boarding. We found out that there are five other Le Petite Chef restaurants around the world and that the one in Toronto goes for about $150/person.

Oceanview Café
Wonderful assortment, excellent breakfast options including fresh French bread each morning which was my favorite. We only went here for breakfast but I'm sure other meals were good as well. Only mild complaint was that some of the breakfast items were not as warm when we got them back to our table, but that is to be expected.

Ship tip
Don't worry about booking a room on the side facing Alaska as you cruise. It would not have made that big a difference in the end. Also, avoid the 9th deck if you want to have a balcony without an extended roof overhead.
