I've read the many post-pandemic reviews and am stumped at the negative experiences these reviewers reported. I thought this Celebrity cruise was wonderful. I've been to Alaska several times before. I chose this cruise in order to see Hubbard Glacier and Icy Strait Point. The latter was a new destination for me. I started the trip with a 5 hour train ride from Anchorage to Seward, where the ...
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 ...
I traveled with a group of four on the Millenium going southbound from Seward. We traveled northbound on Holland America and we were all excited because Celebrity is (was) our favorite cruise line. Boarding was super easy and I was so happy with how everyone greeted us. After a week on the ship we feel that the food was pretty tired (limited choices and lacking of taste). We used to have three ...
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 ...
Same food served every night except for the 2nd of last night , when lobster tails and baked Alaska was added. Celebrity menus used to have 2 sides. Classic menu served every night, consisting of baked chicken, salmon, pasta and beef. Plus there was another menu which changed every night. Now only classic menu served. It seems they want us to eat at the specialty restaurants which cost a lot. ...
The people in the Corporate offices, who have never worked for a cruise line should not be making decisions about the food in the main dining room. Menu is the same every night except for the second to last evening. Gone are the days of lamb shanks, duck & osso bucco. Be prepared for chicken, salmon and NY strip every evening. Which is great but no other variety as in the past. We have ...
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 ...
I have sailed on 31 cruises now and Celebrity Millennium takes the cake for, by far, the worst I have been on yet. What is so disappointing to me is Celebrity Edge is by far my favorite ship I have sailed on. Celebrity was my preferred brand until this cruise.
For added context I am in my late 40s and sailed with my adult family in concierge class rooms - I bring this up because while it may ...
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 ...
