It is day 2 of my cruise to Alaska on the Celebrity Milennium and it has been a quite unique experience for me in terms of cruising. I won this trip with all the bells and whistles and they surely have been provided including my own butler (what do you have a butler do anyway). The food and service has been above top notch with fish as soft and flaky as if jumped out of the sea into your mouth. The crew couldn’t be more thoughtful and caring well at least of the crew.
As for the cruise ship it’s activities lets say are a bit more for those that not only enjoy seeing the white on the ground but have a bit more white in the hair. In other words the cruise ship itself is not built for the type A personality unless you keep active with drinking and other adult activities. Last nights show was geared to the older generations with ballroom dancing but still was extremely entertaining with music from all different generations and wild dance moves that everyone should appreciate it.
The amenities need a bit more updating with showers which are a bit colder then expected, while some of the gym equipment is a bit older then some of my gray hairs, The best attraction on the ship is the indoor salt water pool that has a wild current as if it’s in the middle of the sea unfortunately I only brought one bathing suit to enjoy it. Yet the reason you go on such a cruise is not to stay active on one’s ship but to see the majesty of Alaska and today is that day! Stay tuned for that exciting part of my journey.
