We booked Aqua class, as had done several times before. Not worth it, and for much less, you get almost the same in other categories, like Veranda or Concierge.
Blu restaurant was always full, had to wait 15-20 minutes every evening, no matter what time we arrived. Breakfast is available between 7.30 and 9. Good but very slow. Seems they are short on personnel. Menu not as good as it used to ...
This cruise was the last 2023 Alaska cruise. For the most part the crew was great! Dining room crew was the best. I can't say much about the room attendant as he was never around and lots of times did not live up to our wants. And what is with the mattress pad bumps? I had to strip the bed and turn the dang thing around. Who sleeps on that? Not us! We only saw the Cruise director once on ...
I traveled with a group of four on the Millenium going southbound from Seward. We traveled northbound on Holland America and we were all excited because Celebrity is (was) our favorite cruise line. Boarding was super easy and I was so happy with how everyone greeted us. After a week on the ship we feel that the food was pretty tired (limited choices and lacking of taste). We used to have three ...
Beware,
came on healthy, left with covid! Food was awful! They broke my luggage as well. Value of 250. Gave me a cheap bottle of champagne to compensate me. The food was so salty. Every time I ate it my feet and hands were swollen. Also went down to get medicine and I asked the nurse if there were people on board with covid and she said yes. I asked her to give me the symptoms of covid and ...
This cruise is not a value for the money in my opinion . Although Alaska is spectacular, you do not get to spend much time on land .
Excursions are way over priced and not a good value for the money .
Ship is tired and outdated .
Food is mediocre.
Entertainment on this cruise was very boring . We were disappointed there was zero Alaskan culture represented .
Very difficult to get a ...
I have sailed on 31 cruises now and Celebrity Millennium takes the cake for, by far, the worst I have been on yet. What is so disappointing to me is Celebrity Edge is by far my favorite ship I have sailed on. Celebrity was my preferred brand until this cruise.
For added context I am in my late 40s and sailed with my adult family in concierge class rooms - I bring this up because while it may ...
This was my first cruise with Celebrity and my second cruise to Alaska. My first cruise to Alaska was on NCL's Bliss. I had read that this cruise line was "upscale" however my experience was mediocre. The buffet food and main dining room food was sub-par. The wait staff were pleasant. I didn't eat at a specialty restaurant, so I cannot speak on that. There were very few activities geared for ...
We took a 7 day cruise to Alaska on celebrity Millennium. Ship was old and needed to be updated. Shore excursions were very expensive for what they offered.
ATV tour is a complete waste of time and money. They take you on a gravel road for 2 miles and then you turn around and come back. This costs $225. When I complained to Celebrity, they said sorry no refunds. We scammed you.

The Good
Vancouver:
We love the city. There is always a ton for us to do and we feel very welcome in Vancouver.
Itinerary:
Many destinations in Alaska are only accessible by boat or plane, so taking a cruise is an excellent way to experience this wonderful state. The truth is that Icy Strait Point, Juneau, and Ketchikan are excellent ports of call. The wonderful views of the inside ...
Where do I begin...First let me say that the weather was perfect, normally supposed to be raining this time of year but we got super lucky and it was sunny and 60's the whole time. Second, Alaska is AMAZING!!! This trip was the Dawes glacier cruise out of Seattle. Everywhere we went was amazing. Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway were incredible ports. Now for the cruise ship, deep breath...
