We chose this cruise because we wanted to visit South East Asia and we had previously cruised on Celebrity Silhouette and loved it. We were aware that the Millennium is a smaller and older ship and so were prepared for it to be a step down from the S-class ships. It was smaller as expected and has fewer specialty dining restaurants and bars. However, we found that the layout of the ship to be very nice and the public areas to be very open and inviting, not tired at all. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the el Bacio café and in the Martini and Cellar Masters bars.The food was good, but maybe not quite as good as last time. The Oceanview food is varied and nice. I love how they cook meat or stir fry to order. However, I did not like how the buffet is set up. It goes around and around in one long line, rather than being set up in open plan stations. Some areas are tucked away and we did not realise they were there till half way through the cruise. The main dining room is fine and the food is presented well and good quality. We did find the choices each day very similar and over two weeks it was a bit boring for our tastes. To counter this we often chose to eat at the speciality restaurants which are all excellent with fantastic service. (Tuscan Grill, Qsine, Sushi on Five). The service in general is generally good. There were a few hiccups e.g warm soft drinks, but staff rectified these when asked. The drink service in the theatre was slow as the staff are busy so get a drink from the bar before you go in. The entertainment was excellent and better than on the Silhouette. The shows are all fun and entertaining and there are lots of musicians around the shop. The only exception is the house band who unfortunately were laughably bad. Our room was similar as previous and while not luxurious was a good size with a nice balcony and adequate storage. Our steward was friendly and quick to deal with queries and problems. Embarkation and disembarkation was quick and efficient, but some of the immigration and passport checks at ports and on ship need more organisation as they often took a long time - especially when departing Hong Kong. Port excursions were interesting, but I would not recommend taking the trip to Hanoi.
