We thoroughly enjoyed our first proper cruise. We chose this cruise for the intinerary & because it coincided with my husbands 50th Birthday.
We thought Millenium was a great ship, she’s looking a little tired in places & if you really scrutinise her darkest corners I’m sure you’ll find much more wear & tear...but who wants to do that when you’re on holiday? We were happy to take her at face ...
The itinerary was just what we were looking for and we were not disappointed. However the Millennium is a little tired looking and as it was our first cruise with Celebrity we were a little underwhelmed with the experience. Cruise staff were excellent but the drinks and drinks packages were extortionate, and we didn't appreciate the hard sell by several members of staff as we were trying to board. ...
Overall the cruise was a bit disappointing, mainly because of numerous little things that collectively marred the experience . The crew were excellent and did their best to make your cruise special. The boat was a little jaded in places and the cabin showed some wear but was spacious, I did not feel these issues however were too significant.
Major disappointments were the distances from port ...
My wife and I found most things about this cruise very poor and we were glad when it ended. With the exception of cabin staff, visiting entertainment, and the Ocean View buffet, everything about this cruise from the food down to the quality of the toilet paper was 2 Star. From the moment of embarkation we were pestered to purchase a drinks package on numerous occasions which we did not want. ...
This cruise was booked for us as a family holiday, including our two teenagers.
After reading reviews I had prepared myself and my immediate family for an older, tired ship with not so much to do and average food...we were thrilled to have realised we were wrong.
THE SHIP
The ship is 18 years old and lives on the sea, so of course there is going to be rust, some worn out places and paint ...
We are pretty experienced cruisers with different cruise lines but we keep coming back to Celebrity. Our last cruise in September was with MSC - boy, what a change! This was like chalk and cheese.
Service really was outstanding, led by Captain Alex P. His humorous briefings were so funny, for example "We will be sailing at 6 if I can find the ignition key" He was also friendly and visible ...
I have been cruising since 2013, I got addicted to the cruises. I have done the Baltics route once before but it was without Berlin and Helsinki.
Recent cruise was in Celebrity Millennium which I consider one of the best ships I ever been in.
My departure was from Singapore, where I spent 3 days in it going around.
Celebrity Millennium has a Great Service, Lovely ship and cabin was a ...
We always wanted to visit Vietnam & Hong Kong. We had heard very good things about Celebrity, and as they included our destination requirement, this was a no brainer. Checking in was easy and very efficient, being in a Suite gave us priority. Waiting to get into our suite was a bit boring, yet gave us time to explore some parts of the ship. Our room was excellent, well furnished and comfortable. ...
Having thought about the overall experience, the company claims credit for its upcoming much needed refurbishment program, but surely this is a management failure of not doing this on an ongoing basis.
The cabin was tired, damaged and needed cleaning. In parts, this comment could also be applied to the rest of the ship.
Down to the bar for a pre dinner mojito - but there were no mint leaves ...
We choose this as our first cruise as we wanted to visit the destinations provided. The cruise met and probably exceeded our expectation The staff on board the ship were all top class in their customer service irrespective of where we were in the ship.
Our cabin 6144 was in a great location and was very comfortable with no outer noise whatsoever. The cabin service was above first class and ...
