This was our third attempt to do this with Celebrity...COVIDS caused the cruise to be canceled year after year. We lifted and shifted our reservations, with Celebrity being quite amenable after a bit of balking. Japan is one of the places DW and I had never visited before, and the idea of sailing across the North Pacific was intriguing.
The ship gets *****. Our first trip on Millie, ...
This was our 3rd cruise to Alaska (first 10 years ago with Celebrity, and second 4 years ago with Holland, both Inside Passage). We decided for this one as a way to visit Denali.
The good things:
A) Celebrity did a major refurbishment of the Millennium. And it is not just some makeup: the ship got a major rejuvenation rework (we travelled in the Infinity a few months ago and the ...
The people in the Corporate offices, who have never worked for a cruise line should not be making decisions about the food in the main dining room. Menu is the same every night except for the second to last evening. Gone are the days of lamb shanks, duck & osso bucco. Be prepared for chicken, salmon and NY strip every evening. Which is great but no other variety as in the past. We have ...
Just took the Celebrity Millenium cruise to Alaska, but just returned from our vacation – in total we were gone over 2 weeks (and one week was the cruise). We like cruising Alaska, so when some we were with our friends last July 2022, we said ‘what should we do in 2023?’ The answer that hot July was go somewhere not so hot! The cruise, which left from Vancouver and ended in Seward, was more ...
Enjoyed the ship, the people, and the employees. These folks work hard and pull off a logistical feet and make it look easy.
Met most expectations and exceeded them in a number of areas.
Enjoyed the MDR; food and service were great! Yes, the portions are small, just order two if you need to.
Entertainment was very good; not necessarily my style but very good nevertheless. Music ...
Three generations including ten grandkids, 2 to 13 years. This was an ideal itinerary getting Texans out of the summer heat and seeing sights even many of the adult kids had never experienced. Celebrity has a good kids program and that was a major benefit.
Ship size was a compromise--large enough to have multiple activities and not so huge that there are no intimate spaces.
Ship was full ...
We took this cruise to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday. We knew this was an older, smaller ship but we liked the itinerary so went with it. While the ship is older and could use updating, it is nevertheless impeccably clean and well maintained. That is one thing you can say for Celebrity....their ships are always immaculately clean! Our veranda cabin was smaller than what I am accustomed ...
We're an active couple in our 60s; we've wanted to do a cruise to Alaska for a long time; we booking this one because it fit in our schedule and a good last minute deal, we booked it just 3 weeks before sailing.
We've cruised before on NCL and we enjoyed those, but think Celebrity is a notch above.
Embarkation went very smoothly, we had flown into Seattle 2 days ahead and took Amtrak from ...
We chose this cruise, frankly, because it was very inexpensive. Cheap is always a good inducer for me. We chose an inside guarantee for this Alaska northbound cruise. We were fine with the inside room that we were assigned. A balcony would have been nice but we like going out onto the ship and meeting people. There are plenty of viewing areas on this ship.
Being first time Celebrity ...

I’d never been on a cruise until 11 months ago and just finished my third. May never reach “105” that the most cruised passenger onboard ship had, but that’s a worthy goal. Booked short notice as the ship was only 50% capacity and got a great offer through Celebrity Blue ...
