"Some had no food options on Mondays and the buses, tour director (only one for 2 bus loads) are contracted out to Premiere Tours, the feeling was they did the bare minimum to provide lodging and service… although, it could’ve just been our tour director Heather, who did not want to hear anything negative (such as 2 mobility impaired parties not wanting to be in a room only accessible by 2 flights of stairs).We chose this cruise based on the land tour option (that option gets 2 stars, as it was a shoddy haphazard attempt to piece together a land tour that fell way short…I will write a separate review… but know this… Princess & Holland America have the land tour down pat!..."Read More

1-10 of 311 Celebrity Millennium Cruise Reviews for Family to Alaska from Vancouver
This was our third attempt to do this with Celebrity...COVIDS caused the cruise to be canceled year after year. We lifted and shifted our reservations, with Celebrity being quite amenable after a bit of balking. Japan is one of the places DW and I had never visited before, and the idea of sailing across the North Pacific was intriguing.
The ship gets *****. Our first trip on Millie, ...
We have travelled with Celebrity several times and always found it to outstanding.
Unfortunately we did a back to back sailing from Vancouver to Alaska and then back to Vancouver.
The second leg of our trip was most disappointing. There were changes of crew in Alaska, who weren't as polite or friendly as those on the northbound trip.
On both north and southbound trips the food in the ...
We got quite a bumpy start,,, our first stop in Alaska before heading to Japan was cancelled. I was really looking foward to see the inside passage and Ketchikan. That stop has been replaced by a stop at Victoria, beautifull city. We did an unplaned 12 hrs pit stop for fuel??? at Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians with interdiction to go ashore, grrr. But we been blessed by the sight of many dozens of ...
The ship was very nice, and the crew was outstanding. The food was far below what we have enjoyed on other Celebrity ships; the main dining room (MDR) menus were lacking in variety and creativity; we blame the corporate office for putting out such a poor, poor menu - it was definitely not up to prior Celebrity cruises. Some of the MDR food lacked quality, too. We thought the buffet was ...
This was our 3rd cruise to Alaska (first 10 years ago with Celebrity, and second 4 years ago with Holland, both Inside Passage). We decided for this one as a way to visit Denali.
The good things:
A) Celebrity did a major refurbishment of the Millennium. And it is not just some makeup: the ship got a major rejuvenation rework (we travelled in the Infinity a few months ago and the ...
Just took the Celebrity Millenium cruise to Alaska, but just returned from our vacation – in total we were gone over 2 weeks (and one week was the cruise). We like cruising Alaska, so when some we were with our friends last July 2022, we said ‘what should we do in 2023?’ The answer that hot July was go somewhere not so hot! The cruise, which left from Vancouver and ended in Seward, was more ...
This was the worst cruise I have ever taken. Best vacation because of the scenery and wildlife but worst cruise. We had a room on the 9th floor. Noise from the oceanview buffet kept us up all night. Workers pounding clanking rolling carts all night. Did not complain until the last night at 1 am when we had to be up at 5 to catch the train. Even then they stopped for a little while then started ...
Enjoyed the ship, the people, and the employees. These folks work hard and pull off a logistical feet and make it look easy.
Met most expectations and exceeded them in a number of areas.
Enjoyed the MDR; food and service were great! Yes, the portions are small, just order two if you need to.
Entertainment was very good; not necessarily my style but very good nevertheless. Music ...
We took a 7 day cruise to Alaska on celebrity Millennium. Ship was old and needed to be updated. Shore excursions were very expensive for what they offered.
ATV tour is a complete waste of time and money. They take you on a gravel road for 2 miles and then you turn around and come back. This costs $225. When I complained to Celebrity, they said sorry no refunds. We scammed you.
Most ports ...
We're an active couple in our 60s; we've wanted to do a cruise to Alaska for a long time; we booking this one because it fit in our schedule and a good last minute deal, we booked it just 3 weeks before sailing.
We've cruised before on NCL and we enjoyed those, but think Celebrity is a notch above.
Embarkation went very smoothly, we had flown into Seattle 2 days ahead and took Amtrak from ...
