I chose this cruise because we had sailed on the Millennium 3 previous times and we really looking forward to this cruise but were greatly disappointed. Previously the food was great, flakey pastries that were delicious and a variety of great foods were presented in the Metropolitan Restaurant, Chilled Watermelon Soup, a variety of gourmet foods and if one didn't like what was available a New ...
I am going to focus and not repeat much of what the other reviews say.
We were a little put off pre-cruise about some of the reviews on the Millie's age and condition. While there are definitely signs of wear - a few rust spots here and there and other small things - we considered them small and they did not impact our enjoyment of the cruise. This was our first Celebrity cruise and we were ...
There were 3 couples on this cruise, my husband and I, my parents and his parents. Before our cruise, the 4 parents all went to Denali and did a helicopter ride on a clear day to see the mountain (recommended by the way!) My husband and I met them in Anchorage and the next day we took a quick tour of the city with a ride down with a stop at the Alyeska resort and the Wildlife Conservation Center. ...
This cruise was recommended by our Travel Agent. We were very disappointed with the ship and the food. While the staff was courteous and accommodating, it couldn't make up for where the shipped lacked. We found it a rather boring cruise with not much to do on the ship. The sit down dinners were extremely disappointing. The beef was tough and full of grizzle. The chicken was rubbery. The ...
We did not choose this particular cruise - other family members coordinated the entire event; half of the group had lived and worked in Alaska many years previously. Some of our group completed a self-guided interior Alaska pre-cruise tour, including 3 nights in the Denali area. We arrived for two days pre-cruise activities in the Anchorage area; the last folks arrived the night before the ...
Celebrity delivered on fantastic views of whales, and other marine wildlife, as well as fantastic shoreline, birds, itinerary options and cruise tours on land side.
Night time passages of a lot of the Inside channels had us miss a few site visually, but we picked them up on the Southbound return trip.
We had lower 2 Deck Cabin 2028 on the Northbound cruise and moved to Higher level 9103 ...
Enjoyed the Aqua cabin because of the Persian Garden (Turkish Bath and Sauna) and the Aqua dining room as it was more intimate and way less crowded. The food was good in the Aqua Dining room as well. The ship is outdated, but it was well maintained and clean. The cruise ship staff were hard working and attentive to the needs of passengers. Overall, had a great time exploring Alaska during the ...
Was our first cruise and i was throughly impressed with Celebrity Millennium. The cruise itself went past some amazing locations including Hubbard Glacier and Icy Point Strait which were once in a life time experiences.
The ship itself was incredible, staff were super friendly and helpful and the cleanliness of the ship was outstanding
Food options at the main dining room and other ...
I read many reviews prior to this cruise. a lot of negative comments. BUT I have to say this cruise was wonderful. Ship was very clean and maintained. The staff was fabulous especially the servers in the Blue dining room. Ulu - fantastic waiter, Melvin gave us a great selection wines and plenty of it.. The staff in the Blu Dining room really work like a well oiled team. Go there for breakfast and ...
A good deal always has some items/events that will blind side you. Our first day aboard felt like third world as crew hounded and begged for you to purchase drink packages. My first encounter lasted three to four minutes as the staff member followed me from the elevators to the Oceanview cafe and even suggested that I just buy one package for my party and share. Three other encounters with ...
