Celebrity Millennium Reviews

Ended up sending a total of 7 meals back to the kitchen for various reasons, and food was mediocre overall. Many of the restaurant staff were brand new, and it appears this was their training cruise. Guest entertainers were, for the most part, third rate and a couple were terrible. Ship is old and looks it.

Beautiful but old ship. Staff excellent special Nyoman my cabin attendant,Jorielee and Jonathan Garia my diner table help,Daniel food and beverage manager.

Captain Alex was awesome. He notified us one night about the northern lights. If not for that we would have missed that experience. He always kept us informed and has a great sense of humor. This is the cruise to take if you are trying to decide which Alaska cruise to take.

I was disappointed with two things, I wanted to travel more during the day when we were within sight of land, but a lot of the traveling was done during the dark. I went to Alaska to see the scenery and wildlife. I went to the shopping helpful info talk in the theatre and was disappointed about the commercialization of it. I was not at all interested in buying jewelry and this seemed like the theme of this trip.

Alaska should be on everyone’s list......can’t say enough good things about our trip. If you can take time off, fly into seattle for a few days, then head up to vancouver. Both cities are awesome! Then do the northbound inside passage cruise arriving at Seward. All the ports are wonderful, and cruising at Hubbard Glacier was amazing. Captain Alex was the nicest ship captain ever, and he gave us the best day of glacier watching imaginable. Be sure to do a land tour once in Seward, and DO NOT miss Mt. Denali!!! Saving the best for last, was such a treat for us all. Celebrity did a fantastic job and we will never forget this adventure of a lifetime!

Ports, staff, food and cleanliness were excellent. We were lucky that weather was nearly perfect the entire trip.

I had read a lot about the overhang above many of the rooms (including Aqua Class) on deck 9 - these pics. kind of show what it's like. It's really only an issue if you are trying to take a wide angle photo or if something is close up and very high. For 98% of the time it is not a problem - in fact if it is raining or if the sun is really out and baking things, you'll be glad it is there. If you really want a true full view veranda - the suites on level 6 Aft (a bit spendy) are nice but you can be seen from rooms above. The only other problem with this room is the shower - it is great with wall jets and rain head etc.. but the nice glass doors they have don't seal well and you tend to get water on the floor. (poor stateroom attendant kept it up as nice as possible) . To Aqua Class or not: we did it on a whim and at a good price - mostly for the access to dine in Blu - much nicer experience than the MDR. Other than the last night (there must have been some staff issue) , the service was impeccable. Also enjoyed breakfast on 3 mornings in Blu - a really calm, luxury dining experience. We also took advantage of the free access to the spa's Persian Garden (2 steamrooms + 1 dry and really nice heated lounge) - they sell a week access to others for $109 or $20 /day . These two perks make the Aqua class worth it if you can get a good price. The priority embarkation saved us 15-20 min. The sparkling wine comp is a bottle of their house sparkler (sells for $35 aboard) - not bad - it is what you would expect from a basic house wine. The other listed perks of Aqua are not much to worry about. Th itinerary was really good - it gave a good sample of what coastal Alaska is like. They get in really close to the Hubbard Glacier which is spectacular -great viewing from the room and even better up on deck 11. The ship remained at 1/4 - 1/2 from the face (turning a few times) for about 40 minutes . Juneau was great - we were there from 7am to 9pm so there was ample time to see things. The best was the "Mendenhall Glacier paddle and trek" excursion - where we paddled across Mendenhall lake to the glacier and put on crampon spikes and hiked the glacier ice for about an hour. ( expensive, limited availability, small group but worth it - they provide all the gear needed) . Ketchikan is a really cool little city - the Alaskan Riviera ! Icy Straight (Hoonah) is a small little village with a very small cruise port and a shuttle to take you 1 1/2 to the village. They have a zip line (world's largest ?) but watching those who did it, it didn't seem that cool ~ $175 pp.

This is our second cruise with Celebrity, and Lord willing, there will be other cruises in the future - but if not, we've thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Yohanes is the best...............................

Ahmad was amazing with being hospitable and with the cleanliness of our room. All staff around the ship was always professional and willing to help when needed. The Cafe food was decent and was well rounded for all tastes. The desserts were beautiful but lacked taste. Our embarkment was so smoothe but unfortunately we saw that we missed pictures. I was a little disappointed as we still don’t know where they were taken. I felt so smooshed when dining at the Metropolitan but the staff was always willing to help. The food was mediocre and at times bland so we ate more times in the cafe or off the ship when we were at port. The entertainment was good but was hoping for more family fun since we seemed to always be in bad weather.

We enjoyed a nice welcome.Our room with balcony really made a difference. We actually looked at Hubbard Glacier from our stateroom. Food and drinks were great and staff made it all great

friendly staffs. food is good, however, if more Chinese food will be better.

This was one of my favorite vacations ever! Even my husband who didn't like to cruise has been converted! Aqua is the only way to go! Our room steward was great! Room was always tidy and we had fresh tea and snacks everyday. Aqua dining was amazing! Everyone from the hostess, Sommelier, and servers were fantastic! Our server, I wish I could remember his name was phenomenal! He was in the very back of the dining room. Euglena was also in the dining room and she was so sweet! Just loved her! The spa was also another wonderful experience! We will definitely be booking another Celebrity cruise in the near future!

This trip was one that memories are made of. Unbelievable experience. The natural beauty of the Last Frontier mixed with the best of service, excellent communication from the captain and crew every morning, exceptional docking and views of the Hubbard glacier - the captain took extra care to ensure everyone on board had multiple views of this beautiful wonder, up close and personal. The cabin service was top notch, and so very expedient. We weren't left wanting for anything, except wanting more. Everyone on the ship was there for one reason, to serve their guests with a smile and accommodation. Anyone would be lucky to have this experience, on this ship, and with this crew. Thank you.

We went with the expectations that the Celebrity line was an above average cruise line. I guess our expectations were too high. Didn't feel it was anything better than the others we have taken (Carnival, Royal Caribbean). Food was average and "staff" entertainment was not up to what we have seen on other ships.

It was a great cruise. Alaska a must on bucket list wont go wrong

Plan on a whale watch in Icy Strait. Having been to Alaska multiple times, we mainly explored on our own and enjoyed this very much. Excursions are becoming very expensive

A wonderful cruise ..I would do it again a wonderful experience for all my family

Great time. Excellent wait staff for dinner (Mantra et al)

This was our 6th cruise with Celebrity and I was extremely surprised by how much has changed. So many cut backs that really affected our cruise experience. I'm not sure if we will be taking another cruise with them. Very sad because we always thought Celebrity was an excellent cruise line.
