I booked this cruise after my Northern Europe cruise on Silhouette was cancelled. I booked through the casino for what was at first an almost complimentary cruise. I decided to upgrade us to Aqua Class. We stayed in 9164 Aft Balcony which is a huge accessible cabin.
Boarding was easy as just walking on with proof of vaccination and negative COVID test results before boarding. This was a ...
I love Alaska and have enjoyed Celebrity on a previous cruise. The ship was only booked to about one third capacity. The weather was cool and wet. Probably normal for this time of year. The ship’s staff was wonderful. I was able to upgrade my ocean view cabin to a balcony cabin as soon as I got onboard for $100. Some excursions were cancelled due to low participation. Not sure if all passengers ...
Since my husband and I had to cancel a planned vacation to the UK, I decided to finally book a Celebrity cruise. I've not cruised in a while and was impressed their reputation. We chose the Millennium sailing to Alaska. We found no fault with the ship itself. Even our inside cabin was much more spacious than we imagined. The crew was friendly and I think they were all smiling behind their ...
From start to finish we had an excellent week on the lovely Millenium. I surprised my DH for his birthday and bid up from our interior to Aqua class - and won (I admit it was a gift for me as well). Easiest boarding ever - we arrived at pier 66 at 12:15 with a 12:30 time and waved right in. You will stop 3 times for paperwork review but the entire process was only about 15". Then on to the ...
Got back yesterday from a seven day cruise on the Millennium to Alaska. The ship had been fully redone ($90M) and it still spelled new. The full capacity of the ship is about 2500 but the Captain said we had 1000 passengers. Needless to say we were so well taken care of with no lines anywhere. All crew and passengers seemed extra friendly. I would guess that about 10% of passengers and 100% ...
This was our first time cruising with Celebrity. We have cruised with NCL, Carnival and RCL in the past. The ship was very nice, it has been refurnished recently and looks great. It was a last minute cruise, had some vacation time to use. We did Alaska 26 years ago - our first cruise! We enjoyed this cruise! The ship was only 60% capacity which was really nice - no lines.
We went with ...
Celebrity is our favorite line and Alaska one of our favorite destinations. Here is my ramblings and thoughts on a fabulous week. The highlight was definitely just being back on board with these hard-working happy crewmembers and then being able to see the northern lights which I’ve been waiting for my entire life.

Well it was nice to get back to cruising, The Millennium was wonderful. We have been on the Equinox, Reflection, Mercury and Century before but not on this class of ship. Being we were only at 50% cruisers it was easy to get around to all the venues. All of the staff were fantastic. All the staff were wearing masks. Food of course with celebrity is very good. Shows were exceptional. We missed ...
This was our first cruise since the Pandemic hit. The Millennium was revolutionized since we were last on board and the ship is absolutely beautiful. We were in a Celebrity Suite. We choose the larger suites in order to have a separate bedroom, but are not in love with the Celebrity Suites. It has a small balcony and a large whirlpool tub/shower in the small interior bathroom. The tub is very ...
Embarkation (Seattle)
Very smooth. The ship was only ½ full, so there were few lines. We were asked 4 times to show our vaccination card and proof of a negative test taken 3 days or less before the cruise. Massengers seemed very comfortable being maskless, though some wore masks in corridors and elevators.
Cabin
I was very impressed with the updates to the cabin since the ship was ...
