Sail Date: Mar 2014

We boarded in Hong Kong for a 14-day cruise to Singapore via Viet Nam and Thailand. This was our first time on Celebrity, although we had been on 12 other cruises on 8 other lines. We were pleased with the experience overall, but have some suggestions for improvement.

The Ship: The Millenium is aging and shows it. Most of the indoor areas are in good condition, although the interior design is dated. The deck areas, however, are in need of maintenance. Much of the ship seems designed to maximize on-board charge revenue. There had been an outbreak of intestinal virus prior to our boarding, so the crew were constantly busy disinfecting. At times this was disconcerting, but the precautions were welcome. Indeed, the ship reported that some passengers on our cruise got sick.

Fellow Passengers: A very international set with native English speakers making up only about 60% Lots of people from Asia and South America. Mostly adults, although quite a few younger than retirement age. About 5% under age 20, very few families.

Cabin Review

We were very lucky guys to have this luxuriously-large space, both indoors and out. We loved breakfast on our large dining table and lounging in the room with our hobbies. Enormous amount of storage space. Suggest that the design and furniture be updated (as should the rest of the ship) with special attention to the leather couches which provided terrible back support. Service by our butler was flawless and pleasantly personal.
