We have recently returned from a cruise to the South Pacific on the Celebrity Millennium which was advertised as a five star cruise
The cruise from Sydney to Honolulu via Fiji & Tahiti on the Celebrity Millennium would in our opinion rate as 3 stars at best and this was a case this of false advertising & misrepresentation on the part of Celebrity.
We have friends who have sailed with ...
My husband and I cruised with friends. We took a cruise from Auckland to Sydney on another cruise line on which we have no status so there were no benefits.
We are Diamond members with RCCL so we are Elite with Celebrity. The benefits of the status adds a fun addition to the cruise.
We boarded the ship with our friends, so they were able to experience priority boarding. It made the ...
We chose this cruise because we had thoroughly enjoyed a S. Pacific cruise going to Sydney 2.5 years ago. This time, we wanted to tour New Zealand on our own and return via another long cruise.
We flew into Sydney from Queenstown on JetStar early on the day before Millennium sailed. We took the train to Circular Quay, noting that mass transit is the same everywhere when an agitated young girl ...
This cruise started out in singapore .we spent 4 days prior to explore this wonderful city. Ports of call were bali and then 4 ports in australia. We swam the great barrier reef, held a koala bear, petted kangaroos and explored sydney.
Food on the ship was good. Lobster night we had all the lobsters we could eat. There were not many americans on the ship. Mostly australian and english. It was ...
PROS
Chose to cruise with Celebrity to compare it to previous cruises with P & O UK.
Organisation of embarkation, disembarkation and tender situations were very efficiently handled.
Found the ship to be extremely clean and well serviced by a extremely friendly and welcoming international crew.
Food was of a high quality, especially the meats.
Afternoon canapés in Concierge ...
We wanted to dine in the beautiful Olympic dining room before it was removed from the ship at the end of it's repositioning to Vancouver BC, for dry docking. Apparently it will be moved into one of the new H class ships designed to supercede the popular Solstice class.
This venue really should have been kept as it is very unique. Many people I spoke to aboard thought it was a bad idea remving ...
We sailed from Singapore to Australia. We had our doubts about this cruise when we read Cruise Critic reviews about the ship being tired. Well we found from the moment we stepped on the ship, we had fun fun fun and more fun. Were treated so lovely by all the staff and everything looked beautiful and CLEAN not tired at all. The ship felt like we were with our family, it was all so nice with staff ...
This was a relocation cruise from Singapore to Sydney. The ship we sailed on "Celebrity Millennium" was in need of some major renovations. There were holes covered by carpet on one of the decks and people actually suffered falls. I had a balcony room on deck 9 and the view was fantastic, once I could get the balcony door open. This ship is due to go in to dry dock once it reaches Vancouver, ...
The main reason for taking this cruise was to get from Singapore to Cairns, Australia and Celebrity Millennium was the only ship that fitted the bill regarding ports and timing.
A week prior to joining the ship in Singapore we were advised by our booking agent that the scheduled stop at Bali had been cancelled due to security concerns. We were naturally disappointed but firmly believe that ...
Boarding the ship was the quickest ever with no queues.
We were advised that due to possibly some problems in Bali, we would not go there. Instead spend the first night in Singapore and spend another night at Darwin.
Some were upset by this, especially some of the crew who had family in Bali.
The Captain explained that three ships from the Company were avoiding Bali due to a threat and ...
