Cabin: Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2C

We stayed on deck 7 portside and as was previously reported on this message board, there was a leak in the hallway that caused an offensive mildew smell. After 2 days they dealt with the problem (smelled like they used bleach) - but I was bothered by it nonetheless. My sister who stayed on 7 starboard had a leak in her closet that wet her clothes. The ship cleaned the clothes for free and provided a free bottle of champagne - but to me this was further evidence that Millie is showing her age. I'm guessing that she will not be taken out of service to fix these kinds of problems - and that the crew will continue to deal with them on a piecemeal basis until she is sold or retired. Meanwhile, there will continue to be special offers/low prices, like the one we purchased online. That's probably how we ended up in a cabin near the leak!

Still, I believe we got good value. The food was very good - one of the reasons why we especially like Celebrity. The crew was generally helpful and friendly. Danillo did a very nice job of keeping our cabin clean. We opted for the Select Dining (where you can eat at anytime you choose) and were very happy with that option. We were able to sit in the same section each night - with Jorge as our enthusiastic head waiter. Couldn't have stayed at a decent hotel for the same money.

We ate at the Olymipic one nite - and the food and service were excellent as they have been in the past.

7083 - portside, closer to forward, cabin noisy across from crew space and in proximity to a leak in the hallway that smelled of mildew. Not our favorite.
