Overall Thoughts: We loved the Millennium and the southbound trip from Seward to Vancouver (June 5-12) was terrific. It was absolutely a gorgeous trip and we'd do it again. Millennium Refurbish: The Millennium looks beautiful! All the carpets and seating have been changed in all the common areas. We were in a Concierge Class cabin and the flat screen was installed as was all the new bedding. It's very comfortable and appealing. The new color scheme is creams, tans and rusts. Since this was the third sailing since dry dock the carpet in our cabin tended to fuzz a little, but it wasn't anything too bad.Food: Our sailing was the third sailing with the new menus in the dining room. My DH and I really enjoyed the new menus as well as the always available items. Both of us felt that the new menus have multiple choices for the main dish every night as opposed to one obvious choice, which makes it harder! One night the meat selection was overcooked for everyone at the table. We had an opportunity to listen to the chef speak and he mentioned that since this was the third sailing with the new menus, the kitchen still didn't have a feel for what would be selected on any given night so some things might get overcooked or be a little tough. Interestingly, he mentioned the meat dish specifically, so the kitchen was aware. I fully expect that as they get more experience with the menus and daily selections things will be smoother. All in all, though, the meals in the main dining room were fantastic with only one or two small missteps. As for the buffet, several of the popular items remain, i.e. the waffles and sandwiches on 10 aft, the sushi in the afternoon and pasta/pizza all the time. There is a fantastic poached egg/eggs benedict bar in the morning and the grilled fish at the Riviera pool grill was made to order and delicious. We didn't eat at the buffet for dinner so I can't comment on that. Everything we ate at the buffet and the Riviera pool grill was top notch. Seward: We took the Celebrity transfer from Anchorage to Seward. It was a very nice coach style bus and took about 2.5 hours. When we got to Seward, we were planning our own excursion to the Exit Glacier. However, when we got to the embarkation, we learned that we needed to be all aboard at 4:45 pm even though the ship left at 9:00 pm. Since we didn't get to Seward until around 3:00 pm, we didn't have enough time for a side trip to the Glacier. However, we did muster around 5:00 pm so that answered that question. If we had known that we needed to be on the ship by 4:45 pm, we would have arranged our own transportation from Anchorage to Seward and made a side trip to the Exit Glacier. Embarkation was very smooth and didn't take long at all.Hubbard Glacier: It was a beautiful day and cold! We couldn't get too close to the glacier because of all the ice in the water, but it was still a great view. We got some fantastic pictures. The ship broadsided the glacier on both sides so everyone could see. The decks on 10 and 11 were fairly packed so get their early. This time the Captain didn't open the heliport on Deck 5 but I don't think we needed it. Graham Sunderlund, the naturalist, did a great job telling us about what we were looking at and the history of the area. We did see seals on some of the icebergs and there was a moose on the hillside, but we didn't see it. We booked a balcony specifically to enjoy the glacier from our room. Unfortunately, the balconies on Deck 9 (both starboard and port) are best described as obstructed view. Deck 10 is 10 feet wider on both sides than the lower decks. The overhang plus the required supports really detract from the view and make photography nearly impossible.Juneau: It was a clear day so we started with a trip on the Mount Roberts Tram. If it's clear, it's worth the trip. The views are great and the nature walks are lovely. We then took a bus to the Mendenhall Glacier. You can get a $14 roundtrip ticket in the parking lot in front of the cruise ship dock. Once out there, you can walk around and see the Mendenhall Glacier in all its glory. We also walked out the giant waterfall. It's a bit of a hike, across fairly level ground, but when you get near to the waterfall, you have to climb across a pretty hefty pile of rubble to actually get to the waterfall. It's a magnificent thing to see up close. If you don't want to cross the rocks, there is a place to stop and see the waterfall from that distance.Skagway: We opted to rent a car (comfortable, low miles Toyota Camry) from Avis and drive up to Emerald Lake in the Yukon. Last time we took the White Pass Train, so this time we decided to go further! We got the Murray's Guide and were on our way. The drive was absolutely gorgeous!! We saw bears twice on the Canada side and stopped lots of different places to see waterfalls and beautiful views. There were other cars and vehicles that use the same road so we weren't completely alone. One of our stops on the way up was an overlook of the White Pass train tracks and as we were standing there, the train came by. That was pretty cool too. It was cloudy and chilly at the White Pass Summit itself, but it was sunny and warm on both the Skagway side and Canada/Emerald Lake side. We stopped in Carcross to stretch our legs and check out the only town along our path. While there be sure to stop by the Carcross post office. For the price of a stamp, you get a cool Yukon stamp cancelled with an even cooler post office ink stamp. The whole trip took about 6 hours but it depends on how many times and how long you want to stop. Ketchikan: We did the snorkel in Ketchikan with Mountain Point Snorkel and it was awesome! Needless to say we got lots of weird looks when we said we were going snorkeling in Alaska. We saw schools of herring, tons of starfish, crabs, urchins and a couple of eels. The guides scooped up sea cucumbers, urchins and limpids from the bottom for us to look at up close. The sea kelp was also amazing. You don't get that in the Caribbean. We got 7 mm wetsuits including hoods, boots and gloves. We did get wet, but it was fine. While were getting towards the end of the snorkel trip, a pod of three orcas (mom, dad and baby) swam up the channel about 50 yards away. It was fantastic! Mountain Point Snorkel was a very professional tour provider and the guides were very careful and knowledgeable. We'd go again.Inside Passage: The return trip on the inside passage trip was beautiful and peaceful. We hit a totally weird, thick-as-pea-soup fog bank on the way out of Ketchikan. It went from sunny and warm to completely socked in and the temperature dropped about 20 degrees. The ship blew its fog horn about every 10 minutes. About an hour or so later we sailed out of the fog bank and it went back and forth between cloudy and clear all the way to Vancouver. We did have a small outbreak of the norovirus, but it happened towards the end of the cruise and we didn't find it to be too inconvenient. The Millennium staff made the changes as easy as possible, but having sugar and butter distributed individually were interesting. Overall, the norovirus outbreak was not a problem. It was a truly marvelous cruise and again Celebrity out did itself with service throughout the whole trip. We've sailed with Celebrity before, and we will sail with them again. This was our second trip to Alaska and we'll go there again too!
