he land tour was just as we expected. The trains, buses, and transportation wee really good and the accommodations ranged from good to fantastic! The Millennium was a disappointment. While we realize that the ship celebrated its 17th birthday on our cruise, the problems with the cabin and the service are the result of delayed maintenance, shoddy housekeeping, and lack of training for the staff. ...
We chose this cruise because of the budget, and a desirable itinerary. The embarkation procedures at Seward seem a little bit disjointed, if not amateurish. Having to pull up on the city shuttle bus only to be told to drag your check-aboard luggage a hundred yards across the gravel parking lot was a new experience. Not a pleasant one. I like to drop the luggage at the curb with a porter and go ...
The itinerary was the reason we chose this cruise. We had 10 family members with us and we wanted to see Denali at the beginning of the cruise.
The weather happened to be great and we got to see Denali (only 10% have a clear enough day) and the Mendenhall Towers. The visit to Icy Strait Point was refreshingly simple compared to the developed towns. We went whale watching and were not ...
We took the 7-day cruise from Vancouver to Seward with a 3-day extension to Denali. This was our first experience on Millennium class ship (2 cruises on Soltice class) and while we do prefer the larger Soltice class ships, the Millennium is a good ship.
We had an Aqua class room for this cruise so we were able to enjoy the Blu dining room. We have always enjoyed the food on our previous ...
We explored our departure city, Vancouver, BC, for a couple of days before boarding the ship. I highly recommend it if you can do it. Shannon Falls is incredible and free to see.
Embarkation was really smooth and didn't take much time, which was great. We were greeted with someone shoving a glass in our faces. Not knowing what was in the glass, I asked and the person looked at me like he was a ...
We have sailed with Celebrity before, but this was our first time in Aqua Class. Embarkation was excellent and we were having a snack in the buffet before noon. The Stateroom was nice, but not any nicer than the "regular" balcony staterooms that we would normally stay in. In fact, the Aqua class staterooms have an over-hang above the balcony which we didn't care for. It seemed to block out the ...
We took this cruise to celebrate my husbands 60th Brithday! What a celebration it was! this was our 4th cruise on Celebrity! We flew to Seattle on Wednesday we met up with friends at the airport and proceeded to our hotel! We had a few drinks and then went to Pikes fish market! we then walked and had dinner at one of the crab houses and of course had a crab pot! the next morning we were up ...
Wanted to go to Alaska both cruise and land tour in June. The buffet on board was less than desirable. Food often was cold or old. The buffet layout was absolutely terrible. If you wanted pizza it was in one direction or a hamburger was out in the rain aft deck 100 yards away. I realize that the ship is older but they should have restructured the kitchen. There was NO soft serve ice cream ...
Two friends and I took a bucket list trip to Alaska that included the June 2, southbound Millennium cruise out of Seward. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a sky suite from a balcony cabin. The service was outstanding, as was the food in Luminae and Qsine. I was worried about the ship before the cruise based on recent reviews, but there was nothing to worry about. The ship was in good ...
This is my ninth cruise and the first on Celebrity which rates high with me. I don’t understand the bad reviews I have read. Of course, as with most of the cruises I have been on, the staff are wonderful and they take good care of you. The difference I saw this time was that the staff seemed extremely happy with their jobs. Supervisors did not intimidate and they all worked together and seemed ...
