Celebrity Millennium Review

Additional details
Two friends and I took a bucket list trip to Alaska that included the June 2, southbound Millennium cruise out of Seward. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a sky suite from a balcony cabin. The service was outstanding, as was the food in Luminae and Qsine. I was worried about the ship before the cruise based on recent reviews, but there was nothing to worry about. The ship was in good shape for it's age and the staff was very friendly. Other than the first day, elevators were not a problem. SURPRISE! The pool staff was clearing off unused loungers in the Solarium after an hour. Chair hogs were out of luck on this cruise.
Loved the martini bar, Al Bacio, and suite dining. Our waitstaff in Luminae was outstanding. We also had breakfast in the buffet a few mornings and a late lunch of pasta and pizza a couple of times.
I will say that I'm glad we had unlimited internet as a perk because it was worse than on any other ship I've experienced. Having a butler was a novelty but he didn't do much to impact our cruise. We had an issue with sorting out OBC between three cruisers. We tried 4 different times to resolve it - twice in Michaels and twice at Guest Services and no one was able to do it correctly. How hard is it to divide $375 by 3?
Cabin Review
Celebrity Suite
The cabin was in good shape. I slept on the pull out couch for several nights and while not the most comfortable bed, it was fine. The cabin attendant put a duvet on top of the mattress before adding the bottom sheet and it helped a lot. There was a bit of rust on our veranda railing but it did not detract from our experience. We had a tub in our bathroom, which is a first for me except for Disney Cruise Line. We were upgraded from a standard balcony to the suite when the price dropped significantly before departure and we got all of the suite perks. I love Celebrity and will continue cruising with them based on price and itinerary.
