We went for this cruise for the itinerary. Had not sailed with Celebrity before but reviews were generally good. We were disappointed. Most cruise lines want to extract your cash but Celebrity take this to another level. Definitely not to the standard of Princess or Cunard.
Their entertainment programme, especially for five consecutive sea days was very thin. Not everyone wants to lie on a sun ...
Let me start by saying the majority of the staff were great. I found some of the male help in the dining room did not give way to any females, even when they, the female, had the right of way. I found the decor of the ship drab and the floor plan very confusing. The organization of the ship/ships crew I found to be disorganized. Why, for the love of sanity, would a crew member to told to paint ...
We selected this cruise based on the interesting itinerary from Rome to Abu Dhabi, including a journey through the Suez Canal and a trip to Petra from Aqaba, Jordan. The ports were all a lot of fun and interesting. Several were easy enough to do on our own. Our time was limited in Catania and Muscat, so I wish we were there for more hours.
The cruise was long with many sea days, but we enjoyed ...
We are in our early 70's - this was our 40th cruise - but only the 2nd with Celebrity (usually we cruise with either Princess or NCL) - We choose this for the itinerary - always wanted to see Hong Kong ! We are spoiled, and have cruised in suites for the last several years.
The Room - we had a Celebrity Suite - #9096 - yes - we did hear chairs scrapping, etc. noise from Deck 10 above (but ...
Celebrity Millennium Ship Review
In November 2018 we took a 14 Night/15 Day cruise departing from Yokohama Osanbashi International Passenger Terminal, with stops in Japan, Shanghai, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The Celebrity Millennium ship was showing its age, but it was very clean and well maintained. The staff told us that the ship was going into dry dock in Jan 2019 and would be completely ...
We enjoyed our cruise win this medium sized ship - it was easy to navigate, even if that meant not having some of the facilities of a larger ship e.g. a climbing wall. The staff and crew were all really friendly and helpful, more so than on our previous cruises.
The Excursions Desk were really good; before we sailed I had booked a load of shore Excursions, but after a couple we found that they ...
A well organised experience supported by excellent staff made it a great cruise to very different and interesting places. The small tours and experience of travelling around on our own was great fun. We also joined four Cruise Critic excursions, which proved as usual to be well organised with great people and good value for money.
Embarkation and disembarkation were the easiest that we have ...
Starting with , what we felt was a scam....
1. Having checked and double checked we did not require visas for a port call in Shanghai China 17/11/18. ( Clear reports from travel correspondents, government info and the cruise company itself stated we did not need visas for a tourist entry for the one day port call )
When we got close to the visit day we were informed , we needed a visa or ...
Well, picking a cruise is always a mixture between: destinations, length, mixture between Seadays and poets, cruiseline and of course rates.
We always like to go with Celebrity and we do like smaller ships. This cruise had China and Japan, both were on our bucket list plus South Korea which was an addon (and a pretty nice surprise).
Millennium is an older ship, however we red before in other ...
We chose this cruise because of the ports of call, China, South Korea and Japan.
This was also our first cruise with celebrity after previous cruises with P&O we were looking forward to the "step up" in the cruise experience.
The ship herself was a little tired but nothing to put us off .
Our cabin was 9027 ,deck 9 forward and was on a par with our experience with P&O,the main difference ...
