Our trip was a land and sea combination culminating in 7 night cruise down the Inside Passage. It was our first time sailing with Celebrity. The Celebrity Millennium had just been newly renovated. Decor was very modern with plenty of storage space. Aqua class afforded us access to the Blue restaurant, excellent food and even better wait staff. Oceanview dining room was convenient and offered ...
We sailed a 'back to back' from Vancouver on 7th June to Seward returning by the 21st June. We thoroughly enjoyed the sights, trips and scenery even though we had a few days of rain.
So.. why not a rating of 5 ?
- no relevant guest speaker on the Northern Cruise, instead we had lectures on the Mayan Peninsula and cave diving. Celia Garland, the naturalist, gave excellent talks on Alaskan ...
We just got back from the Vancouver to Seward Cruise and were disappointed in the cruise and the land portion of the tour.
The food was just okay--portions were small for seafood selections and shrimp dishes were rubbery. The cakes were dry and tasteless.
We were constantly harassed by hawkers selling specialty dining. One day they were offering a Crab Dinner for 55% off but had ...
We just got back from the Southbound Seward to Vancouver Alaskan cruise on Celebrity Millennium. We loved every minute of it, from the time we embarked until we disembarked. The ship was lovely after the Revolution refurbishment, with everything clean and new.
The main thing that made such a wonderful cruise onboard was the staff. We felt like we were "waited on hand and foot" as they say. ...
We’d been led to believe Celebrity was a premiere cruise line and chose this Alaska trip with a great itinerary to get a feel for the cruise line.
The Good Things: lovely balcony cabin with very nice shower room. Comfortable bed. Great room steward. Some very good external entertainment. Good CLA staff. Food in main dining room was very good and also in Oceanview Cafe. Tuscan Grill was ...
This boat is absolutely gorgeous! And the ports of call were exactly as expected. We even had sunny days EVERY DAY! How wonderful! The new interior is modern and chic, and the staterooms are lovely and the food is so much better than the 2 Caribbean cruises I'd done 20 years prior with Carnival & Norwegian.
That said, here's why only 3 stars...
1. Very pushy sales all the time to buy stuff, ...
My husband and I cruised Celebrity over 20 years ago and we wanted to cruise Alaska. We chose Celebrity and the Millennium for the one-way itinerary and the long stays in particular Ports. This decision really paid off for our excursions.
We live in Seattle and took Amtrak to Vancouver the day before the cruise. Our stay was at The Wedgwood Hotel and it was lovely. We had high tea at The ...
We departed out of Vancouver. Embarkation was fast and smooth. We were on the ship within 30 minutes of the line opening.
Once onboard were we able to explore the ship before our 11:30am concierge lunch in MDR.
Overall the ship was clean and we loved the recent renovations that were done in dry dock. The crew were constantly cleaning throughout the entire cruise.
We tried 2 of the ...
Choose this cruise for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The ship was lovely after its recent refurbishment. The Stateroom was nice and comfortable with plenty of storage. After asking for some softer pillows we slept better. The shampoo provided was hopeless and the toilet paper not so soft. The selection of food was good and the Sea View Cafe spacious. I didn't like the way we were constantly asked ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and price (first time cruisers!). The ship has just been redone in early 2019 and all the furnishings are new, clean, and comfortable. No problems at all with our cabin (other than the weird smoke thing which I mentioned below.)
Dining: We mostly ate in the Oceanview Cafe (buffet) for breakfast and lunch and the Metropolitan (main dining room) for dinner. ...
