Sail Date: Sep 2012

At the suggestion of some friends who cruise three of four months a year, we switched from HAL to Celebrity in 2011 and took a two week cruise on the Century, which was the final Alaskan cruise of the season. We had a wonderful time and based on that experience we booked an eight-day cruise on the Century Millennium. The results were not nearly as good.

Embarkation: The cruise left from Vancouver. We stayed the night before at the Pan- Pacific hotel. Despite the high rates it is a wonderful hotel were the staff transfers your luggage directly to the cruise ship. The hotel is connected to the cruise terminal and many rooms over look the harbor. We were in room 1915 which was a corner room that gave you two spectacular views of the harbor.

Socialism Celebrity Style: The embarkation onto the ship was a disaster. Instead of admitting it Celebrity made weak excuses. The Millennium and two Royal Caribbean ships were in port at the same time. Hotel staff was calling it "Black Friday." There were 6,000 people getting off ships and 6,000 getting on.

Cabin Review

Cabin CC

Aqua stateroom 1120...is so small we referred to it as our curbicle. Don't bother to invite anyone to join you in the room or on the balcony...there isn't enough space.The closet space vanished after unpacking. The room was either too cold or too hot.The only outlet for your toothbrush, the hairdryer, electric razor or etc was by the balcony doors as far from the bathroom as physically possible. The stateroom and hallway floors were not flat. Instead they were wavy. This could be a real tripping problem for older person who have a tendency to "shuffle" once in a while. This Deck 11 rooms were added to the ship in the spring of 2012. There is only one elevator bank at the aft for passengers assigned on Deck 11.
