Had been on Millennium about eight years ago. On Mercury for the millenium cruise ten years ago. Also on Constellation two times and the Infinity. Have cruised with other lines as well. The Celebrity Line used to be quite special. Because other lines have gone crazy with entertainment, ice rinks etc. poor Celebrity has to try some new things. I understand from fellow cruisers that their newest ship is extraordinary. The entertainment on this ship is average at best. It is not the fault of the entertainers who give it their all. Fellow cruisers it is the economy and they have had to cut somewhere. The wow factor all around has been diminished. Contrary to some of the reviews the food for the most part is still pretty good but not what it was. We have been on about seventeen cruises all over the world. Three of them this year on three different lines and although rates are often fabulous there have been cost cutting. The appeal of this Millennium cruise was that it covered Christmas and New Years and included ports such as Guadeloupe and Tobago. The service is still very good to excellent. I think the crew tries very hard. A wonderful brunch was presented on Christmas and New Years day. A new Captains Club for all select and elite members was presented on New Years Day and included a sushi bar and crepes and a carvery. This was only an hour or so after brunch. If you do research now on the internet you will find if you were to go to a resort in the Caribbean at this time of year for a decent hotel you would be paying more for the room then you would pay for a cruise like this that includes food and entertainment. No I am not a travel agent but you would pay from three to five hundred a day for a room alone while if you went on the Millennium for about two thousand per person you could have it all for fifteen days. We are talking a balcony room and maybe even a concierge class one at that. Please keep that in mind.
