Everything we've enjoyed with Celebrity on past cruises was repeated again on this cruise. All in all I would recommend the Millennium if you don't expect a 'new ship experience'. San Juan embarkation and disembarkation was as easy as it could be. Don't arrive too early or you'll wait outside the terminal with no chairs until the ship is cleared of former cruisers. Luggage arrived a little later than on other cruises, which is not Celebrity's doing. There's an outside company which now handles this for them and I suppose they work at their own pace. However, exploring the ship and enjoying lunch fills the time until your 'pieces' arrive.

Dining

Main dining room menu choices were varied, tasty, and well presented. When we requested a table for two, instead of a large table for 10 which was assigned to us, the Maitre d' worked his magic and was able to seat us the second night at a window table which normally accommodates 4. We actually enjoyed our meals just as much in the main dining room as the specialty restaurant (which was also very good - however, we felt over attended). Buffet stations never seemed to be as busy as Solstice class, but less people might be the reason. Aft veranda was a great place to take our tray. A little more shade would be an improvement; the Summit provides umbrellas. Breakfast on our veranda was delivered on time, hot, and with a requested tablecloth (not so on the Equinox). Read more
