ship is physically seemingly ok by
A Traveler from United States Sailing date: Oct 2011Pros: easy on, easy off Cons: food fair at best, service below par, entertainment poor--not up to or even close to expectations best part of trip is leaving, though the staff is probably hard working and attentive, there
was enough sneers and rudeness to make you forget the overall good and hardworking staff.
where did they get such lack lustre shows from? Ship Quality

Our First Cruise by
Sandra C from Morningview, KY Sailing date: Jun 2011Pros: Mostly Everything Cons: Some of the employee were hard to understand and they had trouble understanding me. VERY nice. Ship Quality
Dining/Food
Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff QualityOnly issue was understanding each other - some staff members did not understand.
Example - serving - if you asked to ham or turkey you had to point at the item. They just did know. Wasn't just cold items it was the same at all stations.
But EVERYONE was friendly and willing to help. Children's Programs

Very pleasant cruise by
Odette P. from Belgium Sailing date: May 2011Pros: Exceptional friendly crew - high standards of service Cons: ship needs to be refurbished - but that will be the case in near future The ship is a sister ship of the Constellation with which I made a cruise last year. They both are very beautiful ships with many bars, restaurants, lounges etc. The level of service was very high. Crew was very friendly. Organization perfect. I'm looking out to my next cruise with Celebrity ! Entertainment and shows breathtaking ! Ship Quality

alaska cruise by
A Traveler from Orlando, Fl. Sailing date: Aug 2010Pros: alaska, the naturalist on board, excursions Cons: the food How can one go wrong on a cruise to an amazing part of the world? The only surprise was that the food was underpar compared with other cruises I've been on. The rooms were great, service good, and the landscape spectacular! Ship QualityLovely ship, pretty standard. Dining/FoodSubpar compared to other cruises I've been on, both in the dining room and cafeteria. Stateroom QualityVery clean and well kept. Ship Staff QualityAlways friendly and willing to help, but so many of the staff do not speak English well enough to actually be of assistance. This was frustrating. Entertainment & ActivitiesExcept for the naturalist on board who did an excellent job explaining everything we were seeing, the entertainment was just average. Nothing special.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), AlaskaWhale watching, nature, real Alaska, no tourist traps, friendly people.
Juneau, AlaskaThe port is horrible, a total tourist trap, ugly, and nothing to see. Mendenhall Glacier is breathtaking, a must see. But get out of the port as quickly as possible.
Ketchikan, AlaskaStay away from the tourist traps!!!! There are beautiful and authentic souveniers to be had further north. Don't buy anything here - wait.
Skagway, AlaskaAdorable 'old time' Alaska, well preserved history.
Don't Miss: Glacier Point. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Celebrity Millennium Cruise by
Patricia M from Calgary, Alberta Canada Sailing date: Jan 2010Pros: Service Cons: would like a little more choice in dinner times - like 7pm or 8pm We have cruised before but this was the best ever! The ship was elegant and impressive. The concierge service was top notch. We enjoyed the high standard of personalized service and the friendliness and professionalism of every crew member. We honestly felt like celebrities as the name aptly implies. The food was outstanding, alot of seafood, which we love! The overall experience was fantastic and everything was done to please us as passengers. The captain walking around the ship made it extra special. The brunch was far beyond our expectations. The itinerary was super as well. We had the best cruise ever and will highly recommend to others. Ship QualityThe ship was 10 years old but was in excellent condition. Dining/FoodNo short-cuts here, the meals were excellent! Stateroom QualityOur room was bigger than we expected, concierge class and worth it! Ship Staff QualityOutstanding! Entertainment & ActivitiesLoved the dance shows and comedy. The 60's groove night, well, not too interested in that but it was good. 13 out of 14 people found this review helpful.

Spectacular and Memorable Cruise by
Charles B from Carlsbad, CA Sailing date: Sep 2009Pros: Concierge Class Stateroom was Spectacular and worth every cent. Cons: Disembark and transfer to Bus was very chaotic and disorganized We took the Southbound cruise from Seward to Vancouver. From the moment we arrived we where treated to a level of luxury that we have never experienced, even better than some of the luxury hotels we have stay at prior to this. The entire crew was very pleasant and helpful with all our accommodations and requests. We will be booking another cruise with Celebrity either on the Millennium or the Equinox. We just wish we had done the Cruise Tour, as there was not a lot of Wildlife to be seen during the cruise. Ship QualityMillennium was very clean and well kept. Glass Elevators, Walnut Paneling, Hammered Brass, Teak, Art and Sculptures through out for Dcor. WOW! They really pushed the hand Sanitizer through automatic stations and crewmembers walking around with jugs of it. Dining/FoodThe evening seated dining was 5 star. Half of the menu was always the same, Grilled Salmon, Steak, Salad, Soup etc. The other half changed every evening and was wonderful from the Oysters Rockefeller, Steak Tar-Tar to the Baked Alaska. Great Wines, Cognacs and Cordials. Stateroom QualityWe stay in the Concierge Class Stateroom with a Veranda. Turn down service with mints after dinner, bed made by the time we got back from breakfast. If we needed ice, any of the 4 different pillows, fruit basket refilled, towels or laundry service was just a phone call away and there was even more that we didnt know about until the final couple days. The size was just right, not to small for 2 people. Glad we brought our own Binoculars as the ones in the room where not that powerful. Being able to order in room breakfast. Ordering shore excursions in our room was easy through the interactive menu on the TV, better than standing in line in the main lobby. Ship Staff QualityEveryone was very friendly and helpful. We saw a couple of the crew in town a couple times when we stopped. They greeted us and told us of special sites to stop and see. Entertainment & ActivitiesThere is something for everyone on the ship. From Wii sports contests, bingo, wine tasting, darts, a sports bar, dancing, the gym was amazing and wish we had brought our swimsuits for the indoor therapy pool. The shows in the main theater where entertaining and they had a different Movie in the Movie theater everyday. They had a Texas Holdem tournament (limited to 1 table) a couple times a day at sea and cash games in the evening in the Casino. Nickel to 5-dollar slots and 3 card poker. Children's ProgramsWe looked at the Arcade and Youth Center when we boarded and wandered the ship to see everything. They had teen evening activities like club night and Wii contests and lots of things for younger kids. We did not take our son but are now rethinking that after seeing that they had things to keep kids busy and entertained. 20 out of 23 people found this review helpful.
