Forget all of the bad things you heard about the Celebrity Millennium and it being a dingy, old, ship. Yes, it is older but it is far from being dingy.

DH and I went on the 10 May sailing from Seward, Alaska. We stayed overnight in the Hotel Seward had a very relaxing evening. The next morning we went to eat breakfast in the hotel restaurant (had the best sausage gravy in my life). In talking to the woman who was the chef there, we mentioned that we were going on the ship. She said that we might want to check with the cruise line because the ship came back and had been quarantined. Uh oh. So, after having heard that, we went upstairs to our room and I posted on Cruise Critic about it and found out that there had been an undisclosed outbreak reported by the CDC. Thank you Cruise Critic members!

We still had to drop off our rental car so we decided to drive by the ship to see what was going on. We asked one of the security guards there and he said they weren't going to allow anyone to board until after 2pm at the earliest. We went ahead and turned in the rental, got a ride back into town and had a few drinks at the Seward Alaska Brewing Company. We had some very tasty beer. After that we walked down to the Alaska Sea Life Center and did the Marine Mammal Tour. We got to go behind the scenes and even pet a seal!!!! It was awesome! In fact, even if you do the regular admission it is still awesome. You can touch starfish and all kinds of wild, underwater creatures. The aviary is cool with the birds too - just be careful of where you put your arm if taking a photo....I was wearing a red jacket that all of a sudden became covered in white bird poop ?. Nothing a good scrub couldn't get out.

Cabin Review

Cabin 1A

1103 - Aqua Class Cabin. Good layout with the sofa by the sliding glass doors. Lots of storage space. The bathroom shower was nice with the extra spray panel and the fog free mirror! NICE! The balcony seemed to be standard size with minimal overhang. This can be good or bad. You really feel like you're out on the sea...but if it's raining it could deter you from hanging out on it so much. The location of the cabin is great! Right outside the elevator bank and very quiet.
