If
you love fine dining, Celebrity Millennium is a fabulous ship to choose for
your next cruise. The ship features a number of buffet and full-service
restaurants, many with white tablecloths, formal yet always friendly wait
staff, elegant lighting and decor and a menu full of haute cuisine. You could
spend each night dining on new flavors or indulge in the classic Continental or
regional favorites everyone loves when on vacation. At Main Restaurant, two
stories of dining tables surround an incredible chandelier as dishes created by
a Michelin-star chef wow your taste buds. Mediterranean fare is found at Blu,
while Le Petit Chef features a high-energy combination of trendy cuisine and
vibrant entertainment. When you're in the mood for Old World favorites, go to
Tuscan Grille. Its Italian dishes include pasta, steak, vegetables, regional
Italian wines and more. Sushi is available when you have a lighter appetite and
the Spa Cafe features your favorite juice blends, plus healthy fare to
complement your spa day or treatments. If you get the munchies in the middle of
the night, order room service any time you like and dine in the privacy and
comfort of your stateroom or suite.
Entertainment
is a blast on this ship. With a main theater made for dazzling shows and
performances, you'll love the enchanting nights spent marveling at the talent
onstage. Check out song and dance revues by the ship's resident troupe, laugh
the night away with comedy shows and wonder at the intense athleticism and
daring acts of grace performed by aerialists and other circus-inspired acts. In
the daytime, a naturalist shares interesting wildlife and environmental facts
and stories when the ship is in Alaska. On other voyages, you can enjoy port
talks by travel experts. Keep the fun going nonstop with trivia hours, open
sports games like basketball, soccer or even archery, dance classes, art auctions,
lecturers, bingo games, wine tastings, plus wellness seminars. Until 1 a.m.
most nights, you can kick up your heels on the dance floor, listening to
Motown, 80s jams, British Invasion rock and other classics.
For an extraordinary wellness experience, head to the fitness center, known onboard as Canyon Ranch Fitness at SEA. This gym is right up there with the luxury gyms in big cities, which you'll note as soon as you walk in and witness incredible floor-to-ceiling windows that let you see the panoramas of the ocean as you exercise. Hop on a stationary exercise bike, run on the treadmill, raise your heart rate on the elliptical or get familiar with cross-trainers. A selection of free weights allows you to tone your muscles or learn about this kind of weight lifting from one of the wellness professionals that staffs the gym to ensure your comfort and safety. If you're skipping a group fitness class back home, you can make it up onboard with yoga, Pilates, aerobics and other options. Get to know your fellow shipmates in class and encourage each other to be your best.
Celebrity Millennium receives high praise for its exceptional service, friendly staff, and memorable itineraries, especially in Alaska and Asia. The ship is generally clean and well-maintained, though many guests note that it is showing its age and could benefit from updates. Food quality is mixed, with the main dining room often praised but the buffet and specialty dining receiving more criticism. Entertainment and activities are generally enjoyable, but some guests find the options limited, especially for younger adults. Excursions and ports are highlights, though some logistical issues and communication problems are noted. Pricing is seen as fair, but there are complaints about add-on fees and upselling. Internet connectivity is a common pain point. Overall, the cruise offers good value and memorable experiences, but there are areas for improvement.
