An early Christmas gift given to me by my husband, we sailed on the Celebrity Millenium out of Miami Dec 17 for a five day cruise.
We flew into Ft Lauderdale with a bus transfer (per Celebrity) to Miami's port which was a breeze. Check in was easy and a breeze as well.
As they say, it's important to make a good first impression! The ship certainly did with a welcoming committee, fresh flowers, champagne etc.
