Bigger is not always better! The Millennium is the perfect size - not too big and not too small. Have cruised on the Solstice class ships (Eclipse & Solstice) and enjoyed those very much and was afraid that the Millennium class ship size would "feel" crowded due to its smaller size. My fears were unfounded! I actually personally enjoyed that there were fewer people on the ship than the Solstice class size. There were lots of place to find your own personal space. Never felt crowded at all - except for the buffet lines. Do wish it were set up like the Solstice class ships, as it would be easier to find the food stations. But at least there were always plenty of tables in the buffet on the Milli. Never had a problem finding somewhere to eat.
The Millennium is a beautiful, classic gal. I almost think Celebrity should leave her as she is and not "solstisize" her. But hopefully once they have taken her out of dry dock she will be even better than she was before she went in.
We were on a five night cruise to Cozumel and Roatan - which was not long enough. We wanted to stay for 5 more nights! Ship was lovely and was in excellent condition.
Excellent cabin. Family Veranda stateroom with a corner aft balcony. The cabin was huge with a separate sleeping and sitting area. Tons of closet space and drawers. The balcony was huge!!! It was fabulous! We were on deck 8 aft so the aft lounge / dining area was two decks above us. We enjoyed this because the steel drum musicians would play there about 2 times a day and we could hear them from our balcony. PLEASE NOTE: Now some people MIGHT not like that, so be aware that you will definitely hear music from the aft upstairs lounge area that is at the back of the ship / buffet area.
