This was our first experience onboard Celebrity and we were somewhat apprehensive about sailing on the Millennium due to some of the recent negative reviews. From the time we entered the Celebrity port facilities until the time we disembarked we were treated like royalty. We are still wondering where the negative comments come from? The entire staff that we came in contact with was very polite and couldn't do enough for us.

Embarkation: We arrived at the Premium Parking facility at 12:30 p.m. and were at the port facilities at 1:15 p.m., the driver told us that the ship was still being disembarked due to a TSA/INS inspection that had backed up the process by 2 hours. We handed our bags to a porter and went into the building, found the Concierge section handed over our passports, our boarding pass and were onboard at 1:20 p.m. with a glass of sparkling wine and a mimosa in our hands.

Ship Conditions: The Millennium was in fine shape. The staff was constantly cleaning and ensuring things were where they were supposed to be. We just wish we could see her after the "Solsticizing". All public areas were clean and in order during all different times of day and night. Our stateroom (Concierge class Veranda, C2) accommodations were comfortable and clean. The room attendant (Sylivia) was attentive and friendly. Pools were nice and never seemed overcrowded; the pool butlers did a good job of watching out for chair hogs. Read more
