We wanted to escape our winter weather, and this was a desired return visit to a prior war zone for one of us. We also wanted to try a Celebrity cruise, to compare it to the others we have done.
Embarkation was chaotic, and we were initially herded to the wrong line, for people not needing Vietnam visas.
Our cabin had a good sized veranda, and an average sized room. We were dismayed to ...
We have been to Bangkok, Viet Nam and Hong Kong before but we wanted a chance to visit Singapore. Celebrity has always been good for us so we decided to use Celebrity for this cruise. It did not start well, as the Hong Kong hotel provided by Celebrity was close to the HK cruise terminal, but it was located in a very plain neighborhood that was basically a large local area of small store, cafes ...
1) Background Info
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and timing as this was a major-milestone birthday celebration.
2) Travel to Port / Embarkation
"Our flight out of our originating city was delayed so we missed our connecting flight. We had pre-arranged and pre-paid for an airport transfer to the cruise port through Celebrity. Since we arrived so late, we missed the last ...
This is my fourth Celebrity Cruise and my first on the M-class. The ship’s renovation gave the entire ship a fresh look. Cabin bathrooms have been redesigned and seem roomier. The drawers in the cabin are larger for more practical clothes storage. Although the desk area was smaller, there was more countertop space above the drawers and near the closet. The only criticism is that a small table is ...
This is our third time on the Millennium and the ship was getting old. The new cabins and the buffet are really great. As usual, that staff were great and always smiled when they meet you.
This cruise was not port intensive so there was time to relax between ports and enjoy the refurbished Millennium. The passengers were a real mix of people, I think they said there were passengers from 52 ...

DINING The Metropolitan Dining Room looked gorgeous, and for the most part, the food matched its elegance to such an extent that we didn't have to contemplate paying extra for specialty dining. Still, when I saw the menu the first night, I felt it was not as high-brow as I had hoped. Thankfully, the impression improved, but when they had something really decent, they put ...
We wanted to cruise southeast Asia and this ship has several big pros, ship updated, great itinerary, good value and BLU.
If you are a foodie who wants a small ship dining experience Blu is excellent, made all the difference for us and we would never cruise Celebrity without it. You need to upgrade to aqua class but well worth it. Both service, food and ambience are much ...
Chose this cruise for its itinerary as it was going to all the places we had not visited before.
The new refurbished ship looks good and from recent reviews it was overdue for the upgrade. We had just come off the Celebrity Solstice and flew into Hong Kong to pick up this Ship. You can see the difference between a Solstice class and a Millenium class but all in all the Celebrity Millennium is ...
Since the Solstice Class ships came on line we've done nothing but, 9 cruises overall on those ships.
Millennium was just refurbished the week before and everything was 'new'. There are many Solstice-like features incorporated into this ship which is generally a good thing.
There were a few oddities, like a club for the suite guests in the middle of the shopping arcade, that never had ...
Christmas and New Years Cruise in Asia. My son and I went on this 14 day Cruise, we loved the food and the staff 95% were incredible. Unfortunately our cabin Steward was not one of them her cleaning especially the Bathroom being very inadequate. The entertainment was very average and there was a distinct lack of things to do on Sea Days.
The production shows especially Broadway were quite ...
