We just got back from the Southbound Seward to Vancouver Alaskan cruise on Celebrity Millennium. We loved every minute of it, from the time we embarked until we disembarked. The ship was lovely after the Revolution refurbishment, with everything clean and new.
The main thing that made such a wonderful cruise onboard was the staff. We felt like we were "waited on hand and foot" as they say. ...
About me: Solo traveler, experienced cruiser (stopped counting around 20), second time on the Alaska cruise itinerary, first time on Celebrity.
This was by far one of the best cruise experiences I have had in a very long time. The staff and crew were all very friendly and accommodating, the officers were accessible, and Captain Tasos was one of the most entertaining captains I've sailed with ...
Everything from the staff made you feel like you were part of the family.
I lost my Father while I was on the cruise and the staff were very kind to me.
I had one breakfast in the main dining room and a few lunches while we were in ports and the food was great.
Eating in a suite guest private dining room and Michael's Club were a nice touch for suite guests. At anytime you could ask a ...
To see Alaska.
Embarkation was sweet as we were Elite members until we got to US Customs who had to cope with 3 ships Celebrity, HAL & Viking (?) all boarding at same time, about 6000 cruisers all up. Debarkation was not much better, lucky for us an attendant saw we were struggling & took us to the front of a long que to catch a cab. You could always use a wheelchair & go to the front of the ...
My husband and I cruised Celebrity over 20 years ago and we wanted to cruise Alaska. We chose Celebrity and the Millennium for the one-way itinerary and the long stays in particular Ports. This decision really paid off for our excursions.
We live in Seattle and took Amtrak to Vancouver the day before the cruise. Our stay was at The Wedgwood Hotel and it was lovely. We had high tea at The ...
Weather in Alaska was incredibly warm for this time of year. Seeing all that sunshine on ice was a memorable sight.
Embarkation Day went better than expected. A crew member spotted my mother in line walking with her cain and kindly directed us to the easy quick route.
Later Iin the cruise mom needed a wheelchair which Celebrity promptly supplied and allowed us to take off the ship at each ...
We departed out of Vancouver. Embarkation was fast and smooth. We were on the ship within 30 minutes of the line opening.
Once onboard were we able to explore the ship before our 11:30am concierge lunch in MDR.
Overall the ship was clean and we loved the recent renovations that were done in dry dock. The crew were constantly cleaning throughout the entire cruise.
We tried 2 of the ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and price (first time cruisers!). The ship has just been redone in early 2019 and all the furnishings are new, clean, and comfortable. No problems at all with our cabin (other than the weird smoke thing which I mentioned below.)
Dining: We mostly ate in the Oceanview Cafe (buffet) for breakfast and lunch and the Metropolitan (main dining room) for dinner. ...
This was my second cruise to Alaska, both on the Solstice, both Inside passage. Traveling into and out of Seattle is always a plus for me. I like the itinerary for the trip. Although I've visited before there is always so much to do. Alaska deserves a balcony room, where you can enjoy the scenery without crowds and looking for a place to sit. There were 6 of us, ages from 25 to 71, and we all ...
I primarily chose this cruise because of all the perks being offered by my online Travel Agent and we have always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise. Should you choose an Alaskan cruise do yourself a favor and save up for the luxury of a balcony stateroom. It was worth every dime. I spent a great deal of time on my balcony watching the beauty of Alaska go by as we sailed the inland passage and ...
