Sail Date: May 2014

We are a couple of guys, with 28 cruises under our belt, in our forties. We normally cruise 2-3 times a year, and we have sailed RCCL, Cystal, Princess, Carnival, P&O, NCL. As a general statement, I do notice a lot of cut backs compared to 10 year or so ago. So whenever I read someone comparing one cruise to another, I tend to ask the question if the comparison is to a cruise 5, 10 years ago. Things certainly has changed.

This is a cruise starting from Yokohama and ending in Vancouver. We sailed the same ship in Asia last year (just before they set sail for Vancouver) and hated the ship, hated how Celebrity blamed port agents, port staff when there's a delay. Coincidentally, we also sailed Princess through the Asian ports a few months before that and we had no issues with delays whatsoever. I do realize, it's a ship specific problem, and remain a loyal Celebrity customer. So, we'd given the Millie another try, this year and it certainly changed for the better. We were fortunate enough to be in a Royal suite, and had friends in Concierge as well as inside and window cabins, we are a group of 7. All of us was on the same cruise last year, and everyone agreed that this was a much better cruise compared to the one we took last year. (4 of us in the group also continued on to Vancouver last year).

We had a wonderful butler, Richard, who also happens to be the head butler. He took cared of us, organizing surprise birthday party (he was a good sport!), tea times in the room with friends,numerous breakfasts, room services, and attended to our every need, a true gentleman. Along with him we have 2 cabin stewarts, Roland and Arnel, both are quick and efficient and clean.

Cabin Review

What's not to like? Seriously, I was reading unsatisfied customers in 6141, and some other Royal Suites. I just don't get it! We were treated really well (of course you need to take care of your butler and cleaners just the same). Everything we wanted we got, and more. The room is NOT noisy as reviewed by someone earlier. The balcony was huge and people on the top can see us, but really, who cares. In fact we made a lot of friends that way. The jacuzzi outdoor was so much fun, although part of it can be seen by people from the 10th floor buffet restaurant. Again, it did not bother me one bit. Who cares really. The bubbles covers everything. Bubbles, I love bubbles! I used it almost daily outside, it was cold, it was fun! The jacuzzi in the bathroom was fun too. Love the double sink. I can wash my socks in one and rinse in another. One complaint - who on earth needs so much storage space!!! Better to remove all the closets and make the room even bigger. Like we need any more space than we already have!
