Celebrity Millennium Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Panama Canal Cruise, it was on our Bucket List!

all in all, we would/will do this cruise again. 10 of those day were at sea and very relaxing. no stress, no worries. Seas were very calm. The staff was awesome, food was great.

Celebrity made me feel low class. Celebrity caters to their Retreat and Aqua Class passengers. I felt we were what some call "dollared to death". Everything has trumped up charges. The basic internet does NOT perform as advertised, which forces guests to upgrade to their premium. I have cruised Royal Caribbean and Carnival in the past...I never felt like I was a lower class or beneath anyone, but Celebrity has brought back the classifications of people. To the point that if the ship began to sink, we would have been the guests standing at the locked gate of the stairwell trying to get above board, like those in the movie Titanic. Everything is geared towards their first class passengers, and the rest are just along for the ride.

I cruise frequently on RCCL and this was my first cruise on Celebrity. Disappointing is an understatement. I thought Celebrity was supposed to be RCCL's "mid-level" cruise brand. The staff of the Millennium were all wonderful. But, the food was no better than a Ponderosa/ Sizzler/ Golden Corral. And the ship was in embarrassingly bad shape. Throw in few activities and ho-hum entertainment (the comedian was the best), and it added up to a mediocre experience at sea. And, I don't include Effy Jewelry events and wine/ martini tastings in the list of onboard activities.

This cruise was wonderful. Booking was easy, embarkation was simple, and disembarking was also easy. We didn't visit all the ports, and just enjoyed some time shopping and relaxing. The ship was very nice, but did not have the activities I'm familiar with (rock wall, putt putt, slides or water activities except pools). The staff was very friendly and everyone seem to have our best interest in mind.

This was my first time going on a Celebrity ship and I actually loved it. I cannot wait to go on another one. I have to practice my own advice and get up early to enjoy the hot tubs and pool. This ship was smaller than recent ones that I've sailed. This was my first cruise since 12/19 and I was so glad to be back. It's hard to compare Celebrity again Carnival and Norwegian. Norwegian is my favorite for activities and entertainment. Carnival is a party ship. Celebrity is a welcome upscale and travels to better ports than Carnival and Norwegian.

Great Cruise. Ship was beautiful and clean. Service was great especially our room steward. Would take a cruise on Millennium again.

This was a great southern Caribbean cruise. The ports were all great to visit and beautiful in their own way. The ship was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, the food was amazing throughout the cruise in all of the dining areas and overall the service was great. We had a full ship but it never felt crowded and there were plenty of areas to enjoy every day that it never got stale. In fact, we wish we had a few more days to go back and re-visit several. Can't wait for the next time!

Great experience. The crew of Celebrity Cruises always makes the trip enjoyable.

A relaxing, non stressful experience! Of course, this week was during spring break, so many more children were on board than usual. Most were very well behaved. I have traveled 4 weeks total on Millenium and simply love everything that it has to offer.

The cruise was wonderful. Our 4th with Celebrity, first on Millennium. We’ve been on Summit twice and Millennium is essentially identical. Our cruise wasn’t at capacity, so no significant crowds. Staff were amazing, food was great, and lots of activities and venues to keep us busy.

Our first Southern Caribbean cruise. We saw everything so we were beat at the end. The water is gorgeous. I can’t say enough about how great the crew was. They were very friendly and provided amazing service.

We have sailed Celebrity previously, this is our first trip since the pandemic. Clearly the service on this ship has suffered. Our waiters, while pleasant, lacked any personal conversation or attention. Our orders were mixed up on several occasions. Bartenders on the upper pool and sky lounge were disrespectful often catering only to the bar flys.

We love the food and service and find on occasion you don’t pay much more than the other lines, it is low key but works for us, much like Princess.

Everything I love about cruising, nothing I hate, specifically a cruise line for grownups traveling without kids to RELAX!!!! The more you cruise, the more you learn about the fact that entire LINES are geared for different markets. If I was twenty something and on my honeymoon and we were going to get drunk and be dancing a lot: Carnival! If we were thirty something with single digit aged kids traveling along: Royal Caribbean! At our age, we are not thrill-seeking or partying. We want to see the world in comfort and luxury, to relax and recuperate, to be pampered and well fed, to enjoy the beautiful natural experience of cruising the ocean and feeling the breeze. Celebrity gets this! We are home!

Would I do this cruise again, probably not. This has nothing to do with the Cruiseline. I took this cruise not for the ports but for the previous experience with Celebrity and to kick back and relax.

Considering that it was a holiday, the passenger load was relatively low, which made it nice. Lines weren’t long at the buffet or Guest Relations, which is unusual. You could even get your choice of seats at the pool without effort!!

We had planned on going on a cruise in 2020, however the virus squashed those plans. Up to the day before our cruise, it still didn't feel as if we were going cruising the next day. We trusted the protocols Celebrity had in place so felt safe. We're booked for the Celebrity Summit in June 2022, Celebrity Constellation in December 2022 and the Celebrity Equinox in March 2023. Definitely spending our kids inheritance.

The cruise overall was really great, despite my review highlighting those things we considered to be areas for improvement. I can't say enough about how great the crew is with service being at the heart of what they do. I loved not having to wear my mask all over the ship and felt safe the whole week. We had one case of COVID and I appreciated the Captain's transparency in communicating with all the guests. He and his officers are really doing a fantastic job in managing the ship and crew! Other things we loved about this cruise were that we were not constantly hounded by the staff like we might have been pre-pandemic. No one trying to upsell our beverage packages, pushing spa services, or quirky photo opportunities at every port and we LOVED it! Please keep this attitude going forward! We didn't feel nickel and dimed around every corner. Other strong positives include the muster process and the ability to use their app for most activities, booking dining & excursions, and as an all-around information center. That being said, it isn't all perfect. You should know the details of your reservation because you will have to ask for everything you have purchased. You might think your reservation includes the details, but you will have to discuss them with guest relations...every time. This includes on-board credit and wifi packages. WiFi was often questionable and, in fact, completely absent in Skagway. They really ought to warn you ahead of time and might even consider giving you a break on pricing based on those knowns. We are elite with Celebrity but didn't realize any benefit of that status.

It was fabulous. First time back on a ship due to covid.
