Celebrity Millennium Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall, great cruise due to our steward, Frank, the captain and every person working on ship! Would definitely recommend and we only had a couple issues

We had a wonderful time on this cruise. We felt everything was top notch. The Food, Staff, Spa and fitness facility, Cleanliness and the Variety of things to do on board as well as the ports were Great. We have already recommended this cruise line (and Alaska) to MANY of our friends.

Fantastic voyage. Beautiful scenery!! Best choices of ports and excursions. Something for everyone. Very professional and friendly staff onboard.

Overall we had a great time, and really enjoyed the ports. We have cruised in the Caribbean many times, so this was very different and new to us. We would definitely cruise Alaska again in the future.

The cruise was beautiful and everyone was polite, except for one waiter by the name of Nilo. He was the wine server and was very unprofessional and made rude comments! We are very laid back people so for Nilo to bother us, you know it was not good. Other than that ONE bad experience, they all were wonderful! I rate it on a scale from one to ten a TEN!! We will recommend it to our friends and family! Thank you! If we ever take another cruise it will be with the same line! Jennifer and Robert Zabavski

We went on this cruise to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We were a little disappointed that our special event was not recognized. Our overall experience was very good. The last day on the cruise was Hubbard Glacier. Our captain took the ship very close to the Glacier which was awesome. Our suggestions for improved food were well received, however, the crew cannot do much without the cruise line listening to comments. The land portion exceeded our expectations.

I would skip this cruise line for the next several years at least, when traveling with my family. If you don't have young kids with you and enjoy drinks, you should consider this cruise line.

It was a great trip and we are glad we took it. The ports were fun and the weather was nice. The food was good and the service was perfect. Everyone made the trip wonderful. I would recommend the cruise to my friends. Would love to go back again.

fun time with family as we saw all the sites alaska has to offer and kept costs reasonable. Suggest car rentals and independent tours as the best way to see this region

Our entire family enjoyed the onboard experience on Millennium ship , the crew was wonderful and made the experience even better. Special kudos to the chefs. Cruise director Eddy and above all our Cabin Attendant Mr. Franco.

The ship was nice, with lots of amenities. The itinerary was disappointing as we saw only one glacier from six miles out, and no others at all. Some of the ports were standard, and all seemed to see cruise ship passengers as sources of ready cash (jewelry shops, furs, and some pretty pricey excursions), but certainly possible to leave the immediate area and see the towns for yourself. Would not recommend this cruise to folks wanting to see Alaskan glaciers though.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone. So many choices of shore excursions and the scenery was unbeatable. Smooth trip with great food and plenty to do on board as well.

Good cruise. It is very good experience. You will see a lot of unique things and activities you would not experience in other places. I wish we could comeback to do it again.

Fun, relaxing, great dancing & fun entertainment. Good food & drinks and very friendly and attentive staff. A+ for our first cruise. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking. Did a lot of research and found nothing but reviews that were true

My cruising experience says, this is the bottom of the barrel.   The ship was old and it showed - problems with the commodes not flushing (almost daily) and other signs of needing a re-haul - peeling paint, cracking shower walls, etc.    The food was more like a basic diner.  Obviously pre-frozen and cheap.   Yes, there were a few nice touches thrown in, but really only one night was good.   Costco has better cheesecake, the chicken breast was no better than a McDonald's sandwich, the ice cream was really ice milk.   The entertainment was so so.    And at every turn, they were trying to get you to spend more.   Internet service for the week was $260!    Alcohol and soda all cost astronomical amounts.     They tried to have some extras...   you come back to the ship and they offer you ice water or hot cocoa, but they only gave you about 1/8 a cup of cocoa!    Even when you are observing the glacier, they come around with cocoa, BUT, you had to buy it!!    Not once did I hear them announce any wildlife sightings.   A few passengers saw whales, even an entire pod of orcas, but the crew sure wasn't there to help point out these amazing creatures.     Last, but not least...   while the staff was friendly, it was hard to find people that could answer your questions.   Either their knowledge was limited to their very specific area or they didn't speak English!     Even asked the dining room staff about one of the entrees and they didn't know what was included with the dish.      The excursion and port 'expert' was unaware of the brewery at Icy Straits...   even said if there is one, he would know about it!   Well there is one, and obviously he didn't know about it.     Needless to say, we were very disappointed in the cruise! 

Favorite parts :

1. Great assistance from , Great thanks to Kyra Phillips who has made the entire arrangement and made our cruise great....

2. Great view with great crew staffs. 

3. great excursion, especially during Helicopter Icefield Excursion at Juneau 

note : I was suggested by shore excursion to take : White Pass Summit Rail and Bus Excursion at Skagway. I love the white pass summit, however the bus excursion is almost the same. We can't avoid seeing the same place twice.

If you want to see southeast Alaska, this is the way to do it. Much of the territory is inaccessible via roads, and ferries or seaplanes are the only mode of transport. If you are looking for a more convenient way of getting to a number of popular and deserved spots - Hubbard glacier (among many others), towns of Sitka and Ketchikan, national parks, etc. - this is a great way to do so. 

Celebrity made everything very easy. They didn't over-explain everything or require you to think too much so you could get on with the business of relaxing.

The food was excellent, and I'm a particular eater. We really loved the excursions which we had purchased from , and they beat the prices offered by Celebrity directly. They also varied a little bit so that we only had a small number of people on the actual excursion.

Staff and crew were very friendly, they had a variety of entertainment options on board, the rooms were good, and the fitness/spa facilities were more than adequate.

The food and service in Blu and the shows in the Celebrity Theatre were our highlights.  

Small bathroom in Aqua Class was not our favorite.  Solstice Class Concierge bathrooms are better.  

We would highly recommend this cruise to others.

Fun: Ports and excursions are great! Purchase ahead of time or after docking. Cost more on cruise ship. 

Surprise: On cruise ship, make sure gratuities are included in your package as this is an added expense.

I am not a fan of cruising and this trip did not change my mind.  I will say I was very pleased with my room.  Everything worked well and I thought we had enough space considering it is a cruise ship.  The food and service was very average and the entertainment was slightly below average.  The best part of the trip is Alaska, not the cruise.
