Celebrity Millennium Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The horrible medical staff handling of our Covid was awful and made this cruise a horror. The humidity was also terible but not the fault of cruiseline.

Loved Japan. But it's very hot and humid in September. If I go again it would be in November or April

This was a great cruise and I would choose it again.

Great experience, would sail with Celebrity again. Only negative was three family members got covid.

I had higher expectations coming from the Caribbean and being in a Royal Caribbean Cruise before. I guess its a bit unfair to compare both Voyages and ships. So, we did enjoy the food; enterntaiment not so much. We definetly enjoyed Japan!! The cruise took away part of the joy. In the cruise no one would be as polite as the japanese were to us. Another thing is the time at each port was reduced significantly. Like in Aomori for example: "oh! so you did not book a tour with us? Too bad for you". Waited more than 3 hours than others to finally get off the ship. Good thing we didnt booked a car rental there. We would have been furious. Also there was so little time to really enjoy other ports that we were in constant strees about the time. But thats not the cruiseship fault and I get it. You are just giving us a taste of Japan. But they already cut down our time in our favorite stop wich was Osaka. Also at Shimizu (that one could not be helped, it was really dangerous). By the way we believe Celebrity hide from us very valuable info about the weather that day. They only told us there was bad weather coming. "Come back 2 hours earlier". But they never told us how bad it was. Like there was a Typhoon named Ewiniar or Aghon heading our way. Thankyou Celebrity for Hiding such valuable information!!!!! We went to the mount Fuji and our car shake a lot once we made it half mountain. Kinda scary and dangerous. It was a terrible stop and night at the cruise. Time and money also wasted.

Certainly this was a trip to remember and we had a great time, but if I were to do it again, I might do it on a different ship/cruise line.

Overall, great itinerary, great mix of travelers (ages, nationalities), good onboard activities, and great overall vibe. But the aging physical facilities, level of grime, and small decrements in food and service quality keep me from rating this cruise as excellent.

First rate all around. Only complaint was casino often closed due to being in Japanese waters.

Sailing on Celebrity was a wonderful way to see Japan. Navigating the transportation and the foreign food was made easy. The crew were delightful. The stops were great!

Great Asian cruise on a wonderful ship with great staff & service.

Thanks for take great care of us. Enjoy and comfortable.

Did not like that they charged extra and way too much for everything specialty dining was $65pp aprox & drink package & wifi was also ridiculously priced

Great cruise. Unusual itinerary. Our bucket list was to visit Taiwan and Hong Kong.

We tried Celebrity because it is the upgrade of Royal Caribbean but found it to be the same. No better.

Overall the cruise was very good. We enjoy playing the slots, so were a bit disappointed with the selection of slot machines. They were very old and outdated and also VERY tight!

This was our first cruise with Celebrity and we were not disappointed. The staff were fantastic. I would recommend this Alaskan cruise to anyone.

Ours was a land and sea adventure and the sights of the parks and the ports of call were amazing

Before leaving, put trackers in all your suitcases. Both the airline and cruise will be handling your bags. While your bags might not get lost, there's a good chance they could go missing. The cruise couldn't find my bag. Luckily, a tracker made things easy. It was dropped off at the wrong room. Having trackers can save you from a headache. It is best to arrive the day before the cruise date. Take the train to Seward. The bus is cheaper but you will be missing the experience of the scenic train. The train can go places the bus cannot. There is also a tour guide, food, drinks, bar on the train. In Juneau, whale watching is recommended. You are guaranteed to see whales.. swimming, jumping, etc.. Get the combo with glacier tour included. Also, eat at Tracy's Crabs if you like crab legs. This is the best place to eat red Alaskan Crabs on the whole cruise. The cruise bus will drop you off right in front. Unfortunately, doing excursions leaves little time for the seeing the town. Eat fast, but enjoy! When booking excursions, you can usually find the excursion companies begging for your business when you get off the ship. These are likely cheaper than going through the cruise company ahead of time. Tip: If you are pressed for time, it might be best to book through the cruise to ensure you make it back in time. In most cases, you should be fine, but there's always a chance. The cruise ship itself is nice. It's smaller than other ships but great for this type of cruise. There are plenty of activities on board to keep you occupied. Most of the passengers seemed retirement age. I wish they had more dancing music for that age group. Most of the music was Motown or newer. I do recommend evening dining in the main dining hall. You will get the best service and also gourmet meals. Save the buffets for breakfast, lunch, or snacking. Drinks on board can cost $5 soda, $10 mix drink, $17 martini. Im not sure you need the drink packages. You won't be on the ship much. Plus the free buffet has free juices, teas, hot chocolate, etc.. Additionally, it's a bit cooler on this cruise than the Caribbean for example. You will not be as thirsty. Pay as you go might be worth it. On this cruise, I recommend also getting reservations for an 8:30 dining slot. Late dining will allow you to go to the 7pm show beforehand. It is less crowded. Also, it will allow you to enjoy your shore excursions without rushing to get back for the early dining. It's stress free. On this ship, there are many raffles and activities. Take advantage of them. The cruise likes to give away prizes. Some are really good, including a free cruise (the game deal or no deal). They also gave away almost $1,000 between 3 games of bingo. There is a casino on board. However, don't expect the odds to be in your favor. The casino rules are different and favor the house more than other casinos. There are very few kids on board so you don't have to worry about them running around. You will have a great time. I hope these recommendations help.

Cruise was great because Alaska is so beautiful. Love the ship and the crowds were minimal. Food was good but not great on the ship, staff was lovely and room was fabulous because of the deck!

I was very happy to have the opportunity to see Alaska. The scenery was beautiful.
