Celebrity "Millennium",
7 -- 12 April 2012; Cabin no 7163, balcony
First of all, we had a wonderful time onboard and enjoyed ourselves very much. Celebrity does not disappoint.
It has been 3 ½ years since we last sailed with Millennium, across the Pacific, and I have been looking at the long resume I wrote then.
Most of the positive things we saw and wrote about at that time are ...
Before this cruise, I would have told you no one beats Celebrity. This was our third trip with this line, our second on Millenium. Even with the knowledge that this was her last trip before her refurbishment didn't bother me, I understand the need for upgrades. However, the amount of refurbishment going on during the cruise was totally not acceptable, and the condition of bed sheets (huge ...
EMBARKATION:
Arrived at Port of Miami at 10:30am. We parked in a garage at the port - $20 a day, but for our peace of mind, it was worth it. Somewhat of a hike from the garage -- I saw signs for a shuttle, but never saw an actual shuttle. Went through security, and they made sure the wine that I packed in my carry-on was actually wine. My husband walked straight through without them asking him ...
This was our first cruise in 17+ years, we took this cruise with our 8 & 13 yr old boys. We selected this cruise as it was a 5 day cruise, left from Miami March 5th and visited Roatan, Honduras(March 7th) and Cozumel,Mexico(March 8th) - other days were spent at sea. The boat is going into dry dock for some remodeling(MAY 2012), but as judged by us and other passengers I asked it really doesn't ...
We booked this cruise at last minute. Drove to Miami from Ontario. The check in at the ship was easy. I just wish I had carried my own luggage. So we had to sit around till we could get into our room and then the luggage did not come till we were almost sailing. Excuse only one service elevator working. I was lead to believe we couldn't. This ship needs to dry dock and get things fixed up. Stairs ...
We had checked out many cruises as we just wanted to get away and decided since the kids were all grown and it would be just 'us', we thought we would upgrade to Celebrity. I did some research on Cruise Critic so we found the Millenium exactly as rated, a bit dated, in need of some touchups, but overall a very beautiful ship and one on which we would happily cruise again. We spent a little extra ...
Regulars know Millennium. No sense in rehashing the wear issues. The ship goes for major renovation in April (see the Celebrity web site for the Solticizing blog .... its interesting) and comes out in May with the first cruise on the upgraded vessel West Bound Panama Canal, Miami to San Diego. Even though the ship is now almost 10 years old, she is one of our favorites (Century being the other) ...
Miami-Roatan-Cozumel-Miami on Millennium again confirmed our preference for Celebrity. The cruise line seems to fit our "happily married, fifty-something" preferences. Not too many children, nor too many octogenarians.
For the two of us, this five night itinerary is more for resting than sight-seeing or activities. We find it very relaxing to read and watch the waves without phone or email ...
Just returned from a 5 night cruise aboard Celebrity Millenium. I had cruised this ship 10 years ago when she was brand new. The ship has been fairly well maintained but is showing her age and I know she is due for refurbishment soon.
Boarding the ship in Miami was a breeze as registration was handled quickly and efficiently and we boarded around 12 noon with no problems. Our room on the 8 ...
This was a last minute girls trip with my best friend and her 12 year old daughter. I cruise once a year with my Husband and my friend and her Husband and 2 children cruise about 2-3 times per year on many cruise lines.
We had a nice relaxing time. Celebrity "Millennium" is a little more upscale compared to Royal Caribbean although they are the same parent company. The ship was very pretty. ...
