Take a look at the real people working hard to make your next trip a memorable one.
Meet our Staff
What do you call a place that offers world-class restaurants, Broadway-style shows, a luxurious spa and amenities that rival the grandest hotel on land? We call her Celebrity Millennium; you'll call her magnificent. To sail on Celebrity Millennium, the first of our Millennium-class of ships, is an experience that cannot be expressed in words. Stride her decks and see for yourself what those who have experienced her already know: Celebrity Millennium is more than a ship; she is a special memory waiting to be had.
Special service begins with the design of Celebrity's vessels. Public areas are lavishly appointed with polished woods, opulent fabrics, elegant marbles, stone and tile. Sophisticated lighting is altered during the course of each day, to evoke moods and to transition time in a relaxing way. Celebrity's comfortably elegant dining rooms are a feast for the senses, from the feel of fine china and crisp table linen to the bouquet of a specially selected wine and the award-winning cuisine.

Dining Entertainment Activities Cabins/Staterooms Itinerary/Ports Value Group Travel on the Solstice
Caribbean - 4/2011
I took 129 people on the Solstice, April 3-10 to the Caribbean. Overall, the ship was fabulous. I do believe they could have been more attentive to our group needs onboard the ship. Otherwise, everyone was very happy!
The Celebrity Solstice is a beautiful ship and the Solstice class is definitely a perfect choice for clients. The accomodations, specialty restaurants, entertainment, and layout of the ship are perfect.
Pros: Specialty Restaurants, cabins, embarkation and disembarkation
Cons: Group assistance onboard could have been better

StaffDining Entertainment Activities Cabins/Staterooms Itinerary/Ports Value Celebrity Solstice exceeded my expectations!
- 1/2010
I honestly did not know how I would enjoy sailing on what I consider to be a "big ship". Solstice exceeded my expectations. The ship is simply beautiful. The public spaces, restaurants...are stunning. There is a casual elegance that makes one feel instantly at home and "happy." The ship is configured in such a manner that one does not feel as if one is on a megaship...there are so many intimate spaces. I loved sitting at the martini bar each night before dinner. The bartenders delighted the bars guests with all sorts of antics--twirling shakers--and mixing up all sorts of tasty adult beverages! The food was excellent--high quality--and served with style and grace. Loved the different dining options. The staterooms are well appointed--room stewards did an excellent job during the entire cruise. Activities were varied. Something for everyone. Great for extended families, couples, honeymooners. The truth of the matter is that I would recommend this ship to my most discerning clients--those which prefer

StaffDining Entertainment Activities Cabins/Staterooms Itinerary/Ports Value Solstice is truly a beautiful ship
- 1/2010
If you want an exciting experience take the Celebrity Solstice with 5 of your best girl friends as I did or with your family as this ship has something wonderful for everyone.
The Celebrity Solstice is truly a beautiful ship. It is modern, open and the accommodations are among the best at sea. The standard stateroom is huge and the suites are so large on could live aboard indefinitely.
On this beautiful ship are several restaurants in addition to the dining room. The Bistro at 5 was our favorite spot for both lunch and late night desserts. The salads were wonderful, fresh and tasty as were their Panini's. And the desserts - WOW. The Tuscan Grille was truly a 5 star restaurant and an awesome dining experience. It is appointed beautifully and the chef frequently stopped by the table to ensure our satisfaction with evening faire.
If you like sushi or Asian, Silk Harvest is the place for you. It is a wonderful mix of tranquility and Asian style.
The Solstice staff was excellent. Aside from being warm and friendly they were knowledgeable and helpful. There are hostesses for the suites, as well as butlers.
The Solstice also has a fully beauty salon, gym and spa. Special spa cuisine is available for those that book their spa program. The massages were wonderful and left you feeling pampered and relaxed.
While taking a cruise is usually a great vacation, the solstice class insures the "Best of the Best". No matter what you want in a vacation, solstice class has something to offer everyone from the experienced traveler to the young and old alike - and if you just need to get away - this is the vactation for you, a total relaxing and pampering experience as you see the world.
Pros: large suites, excellent staff, beautiful ship

StaffDining Entertainment Activities Cabins/Staterooms Itinerary/Ports Value The most important thing on all cruise ships is the food and Celebrity's Solstice did not disappoint
- /
I was extremely impressed by the dining experience in the main dining room. There is no doubt that Celebrity has raised the bar when it comes to dining in the elegant Grand Epernay Dining Room.
The choice and variety of entree selections were excellent and having dined in the main dining venue, five nights out of the seven night cruise; there were virtually no duplications of entrees.
The presentation of the food was beautiful, creative and most importantly hot and delicious. The staff was attentive, friendly and anxious to please.
I had the opportunity to dine in the beautiful Tuscan Grill. The Tuscan Grill is one of the most beautifully decorated dining rooms and upon entering you get the feeling you are in Tuscany! The specialty restaurants do pride themselves on trying to be as authentic in menu selection. Although I ordered a filet mignon, it was served on a bed of spinach with specialty potatoes. I also ordered a side dish of pasta bouglouiaze with Kobe meatballs. No Italian meal would be complete without hot, home made bread. I started the meal with a delicious fresh mozzarella and caprice salad. To finish, I ordered my favorite dessert, Tiramisu. It was good, but not special.
The Silk Harvest Restaurant, which features Asian decor and menu, was a nice evening but did not offer any original selections to make it an outstanding evening to remember. I did order sea bass and the presentation of the platter was beautiful, but disappointing to the pallet.
Both restaurants require advance reservations as they are popular and in demand by the guests. Overbooking can be an issue as this may cause less than attentive service.
The food in the Ocean View Cafe was delicious, fresh and better variety than other ships I have sailed on. The dishes were replenished continually. The layout of the Ocean view cafe is one of the best designed on any ship both for table layout and food stations. The salad bar was refreshed constantly as well as the pasta station. Staff was attentive and polite.

Dining Entertainment Activities Cabins/Staterooms Itinerary/Ports Value My Celebrity Cruises Cruise
Southern Caribbean - 1/2010
The half-day 4x4 Jeep excursion in Aruba is super and well priced - loved it! The rain forest/zip line in St. Lucia is well worth the money. On our own, in St. Martin, we found ATV rentals outside the gates and had a blast wheeling around the whole island for hours for a very reasonable rate. Snorkeling in Grenada was a wonderful experience and well-priced excursion with the ship. The Halo Caves in Curacao was a well-worth excursion, as well. Lots to do and enjoyed it all. No other way to celebrate a birthday! Thanks Celebrity for the great times!
My only complaint: no laundry facilities to wash our own clothes if needed.

StaffDining Entertainment Activities Cabins/Staterooms Itinerary/Ports Value Millennium
Eastern Caribbean - 12/2003
Celebrity Cruises is a mass-market cruise line that has made a steady and determine evolution from premium to luxury, and is delivering a quality of service far above that which is usually considered mass-market.
We cruised aboard the Millennium from December 7th to the 14th, 2003, on a 7-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Ports of call included Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic; San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, USVI; and Nassau, Bahamas. The deep blue hull of the four Millennium-class ships is a nice change from the usual white ship hulls and rightly gives an air of distinction to these ships.
The Greek Officers aboard the Millennium are lead by Captain Iordanis Adamidis, Master. Unlike some ships on which the captain and officers are seldom seen in the public areas, we observed Captain Adamidis and his officers mingling with the guests and dining at the various onboard venues. We met with Captain Adamidis on the bridge of the Millennium. In 1972, Captain Adamidis joined Chandris Cruises. (The Chandris Group founded Celebrity Cruises in 1989.) He has sailed the majority of Chandris CruisesÂ’ vessels and has been the Master of every Celebrity ship except the Constellation. Aboard the Millennium, special arrangements can be made through the Photo Gallery for guests to pose for a picture with a member of the shipÂ’s personnel of their choice.
Winnie Hung, the Social Hostess aboard the Millennium, is an outstanding example of a person in this position. Winnie is an outgoing individual with an abundance of energy. She not only took the time to meet with us personally but also arranged for us to meet with several other staff members and to tour the bridge.
Boarding a ship with the capacity of 1,950 passengers can be trying at best but Celebrity Cruises seems to have solved this problem as demonstrated on our October 2003 cruise aboard the Constellation and again on this Millennium cruise. Upon arriving early at the pier in Ft. Lauderdale, we were quickly taken into a seating area to wait for boarding. During the wait, we were very impressed with the Celebrity CruisesÂ’ representatives who moved from person to person assisting with filling out last minute paperwork and answering questions. Their answers were thorough and their explanations clear. Their multilingual talents were also impressive. Following a short wait, we proceeded to the Priority Check-in for Celebrity Captain's Club members. In a matter of minutes, we were checked in and boarded the ship. Once onboard, as with all Celebrity ships, we were greeted with a glass of Champagne (or if you prefer, juice).
Staterooms
The Millennium has 975 staterooms, 80% with oceanviews and 76% of those oceanview rooms having verandas. We were in a Category 2A veranda stateroom (170 sq. ft. room plus 38 sq. ft. veranda). One entire wall was glass and included a sliding glass door to the veranda. The light colored room furnishings and large window/veranda door gave the room a light airy feeling. The veranda was large enough to accommodate 2 comfortable non-reclining chairs and a small table.
At the veranda end of our room was a convertible love seat, oblong coffee table, writing desk/chair with 110/220 electrical outlets, and a large mirror above the desk. The queen size bed that could be converted into two single beds was in the center of the room with nightstands (containing two drawers each and reading lights on each) on either side of the bed. The beds rounded corners at the foot allowed for more useable space between the foot of the bed and the floor to ceiling mirror on the wall at the end of the bed.
A built in corner-shelving unit held the 20” interactive television with a small shelf below the TV. The refrigerator/mini-bar (not complimentary) was stored behind a locked wooden door at the bottom of the corner-shelving unit. The stateroom attendant will unlock this for you at the beginning of your cruise. One double closet with numerous wooden hangers made storage space for hanging clothes more than adequate. An additional single closet with a small safe, 2 shelves and 6 drawers greatly increased the storage space. Other amenities in the room included complimentary use of bathrobes and a direct dial telephone with voice mail.
In the bathroom, a large storage area under the sink and two glass triangular corner shelves made for considerable storage space for toiletry items. The shower area was large with a convenient wall-mounted shampoo dispenser. Located above the bathroom counter was a wall-mounted body lotion dispenser and wall-mounted hair dryer. A crystal-look covered container was refilled daily with cotton balls and cotton swabs.
Our stateroom aboard the Millennium was smaller by 21 square feet than our stateroom aboard the Constellation. Fortunately, this size difference was accomplished by using the extra space we had at the veranda end of our room on the Constellation rather than by taking space away from the bathroom size or closet area. The smaller square footage of our Millennium stateroom was barely noticeable. The more noticeable difference in the room sizes was a decrease in the desk space (top and shelf storage areas). Also, there was no floor to ceiling shelf unit next to the desk as was on the Constellation.
In order to avoid disappointment regarding your stateroom size, you should ask your travel agent for the actual measurements (not just the square footage) of the room in which you are booked, keeping in mind that this size includes the bathroom and closet space. Later when you are home, measure off an area by which to judge the room size. If you feel this area is going to be too small for your needs during your cruise, buy up to a larger stateroom before getting on the ship as there may be no availability in the larger stateroom categories once you are onboard. On embarkation day on the Millennium, we saw several incidents of guests attempting to upgrade their accommodations solely because they said the room they had purchased was smaller than they expected. Some were disappointed as there was no availability within many categories.
Celebrity Cruises continues to have some of the roomiest and most comfortable stateroom afloat. All staterooms no matter what the category, include a direct dial telephone with voice mail, individual safe, hair dryer, Egyptian cotton towels, complimentary use of bathrobes, complimentary 24-hour room service and refrigerator/mini-bar (not complimentary). The 20” interactive television allows guests to play casino video games, book/review shore excursions, order in-room movies ($8.99 each) and order room service. There are also several music channels on the TV including rock, jazz, classical and country.
Because the Millennium was the first of the 4 ships built in that class, it has accommodated more passengers and thus is a bit more worn than the others. In our stateroom, a metal plate that should have surrounded one of the electrical outlets was missing, the plastic hooks were broken on our bathroom waste can causing it to open wide enough to hit the toilet stool, and our stateroom carpeting was worn and stained in some areas. Fortunately, staff has worked very hard to maintain the MillenniumÂ’s appearance, and overall, it is still one of the nicest looking ships afloat.
If you are booking a balcony stateroom, ask your travel agent to try to book you into one of the staterooms that have a larger veranda size than most in the same category. For example, staterooms 6048 and 6053 have largest verandas in Category 2C due to a widening in the hull of the ship. We were in Category 2A, stateroom 8146, and it had a larger veranda than most others in that category. The same is true in each category for those staterooms with a triangular shaped veranda. Although Celebrity CruisesÂ’ reservationists do not have this information and will tell your travel agent that the larger looking verandas on the brochure deck plans are not accurate, believe us when we tell you that on the Millennium, the brochure deck plans are accurate.
As part of Celebrity’s “Taste of Luxury”, they have added the Celebrity Concierge Class (Category CC). These staterooms are what were formally Category 1A veranda staterooms on the Sky Deck with plush amenities and priority services being added. Benefits for those guests in the Celebrity Concierge Class include fresh fruit and flowers, personalized stationery, oversized bath towels, priority luggage delivery, extended room service, a Hansgrohe massaging showerhead, and many other extra amenities. Aboard the Millennium, guests could schedule a personal viewing of a Concierge Class stateroom. You should try the Concierge Class if you are one of those people who cruise in nothing less than a veranda stateroom but want to experience a bit of luxury.
Public Areas, Activities and Entertainment
The essence of the MillenniumÂ’s sophisticated elegance lies in her three-deck atrium with its onyx staircase, softly backlit to present a warm welcoming glow. Pillars of soft white drapery surround the staircase. Many of the inside public rooms, as well as small intimate seating areas with great sea views, are located around the atriumÂ’s perimeter on Decks 4 and 5. The shore excursion desk, guest relations desk and onboard bank are centrally located on Deck 3. Six glass elevators just off of the atrium provide oceanviews as you move from deck to deck. Many of the atrium perimeter rooms have glass walls looking out onto the atrium. The rest of the Millennium radiates out from the atrium area. For such a large ship, the Millennium is beautifully laid out and easy to get around. Almost as surprising, we seldom encountered long lines or congestion.
One of our favorite stops in the atrium area was the Cova Cafe di Milano, an area inspired by the outdoor Italian cafés. Coffees, lattés, and cappuccino are served to guests at candle-lit tables. Complimentary pastries and snacks are served in the morning and afternoon.
Also located in the atrium area is Online@Celebrity, the 24-hour Internet Café. The 20 laptop computers at Online@Celebrity are configured in such a way as to provide some privacy for each user. The only time the Internet café is closed for general use is during computer classes conducted for guests who wish to sign up. The Internet cost of .75 per minute is somewhat higher than we have experienced on other ships, however, packages are available that lower the cost down to .50 per minute.
The Millennium’s 11 passenger decks are packed with interesting and fun spots including Cards, the card room located in the atrium area that was extremely busy on our cruse due to a large number of Bridge players; Words, a two-story library; Notes, a music library with individual state-of-the-art listening stations and Apple® iPOD rental for personal use around the ship; a small but very comfortable cinema that shows first run movies; and The Conservatory, a beautiful garden area with its own floral boutique and area for flower arranging demonstrations.
The pool area on Deck 10 is very comfortable with a wide walking and sitting area on Deck 11. Deck chairs and space was abundant, even on sea days. The main pool area includes both a shallow and a large pool along with four whirlpools. A glass covered Thalassotherapy pool area just off of the main outdoor pool area was surprisingly seldom crowded. Each afternoon at sea, sunbathers were presented with cold towels, ice water and iced tea. To further heighten the pool experience on the Millennium, at 2:45 p.m., a parade of tuxedo clad assistant waiters paraded and provided sorbets that had a very cooling effect.
Celebrity CruisesÂ’ custom-branded AquaSpa(SM) by Elemis is without question one of the best spa programs in the cruise industry. It provides guests with a serene environment where touch, texture and architectural design come together to cleanse and rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit. The 25,000 sq. ft. AquaSpa(SM) facilities include 16 spa treatment rooms, a full service beauty salon and a fully equipped fitness area. The Pilates and Yoga classes are very popular even though a small fee is charged.
Activities throughout the daytime and into the early evening include Bingo, a variety of seminars on such subjects as gemstones, health/fitness, flower arranging, and ports of call, many trivia contests and mind-teaser games and a wide variety of sports activities including a full-size basketball court, compact football, ping pong, paddle tennis, volleyball, jogging track, shuffleboard and a state-of-the-art golf simulator. Park West Gallery, an art gallery based in the United States, displays a large collection of art works from world-renowned artists as well as new artists with art auctions being held on several days throughout the cruise. The Emporium, MillenniumÂ’s duty-free specialty boutiques that line the corridors of Deck 5, have a large selection of souvenir items as well as jewelry and clothing with most shops having very reasonable prices. An activity that drew a large crowd one evening was a nicely presented fashion show in the atrium, a great three-deck location for such an event.
Celebrity Cruises has joined some of the more upscale cruise lines in presenting Enrichment Speakers. Political Analysis, Steve Schier, was on the Millennium and presented several lectures encompassing the presidencies of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
Children, what children? In spite of the fact that they were seldom seen or heard, there were a large number of children on our cruise. The programs for children and young adults aboard the Millennium are well organized and seemed to be enjoyed by the children (as well as their parents). There is a teen club, The Tower, along with an area for the younger children, the Fun Factory.
There are 10 lounges/bars aboard the Millennium, each with its own distinct style and some serving specialty drinks, such as the Martini Bar and the Champagne Bar. Michael’s Club, at one time a cigar bar, is now a piano club. Throughout the ship we found numerous lounges/bars tucked away with a large variety of seating arrangements ranging from areas that could accommodate a large party to areas where two people could quietly talk. Two of our favorites were the Ocean Café Bar, a small outdoor but covered bar on Deck 10 aft, and Cosmos Nightclub (and Disco), a lounge on Deck 11 forward with panoramic views and lighting over one of the dance floors that slowly changes colors. Other lounges/bars aboard the Millennium include the Mast Bar, Riviera Pool Bar, Rendez-Vous Lounge, Fortunes Casino Bar and the Extreme Sports Bar. Starting early each evening and continuing late into the night, a wide variety of live music ranging from piano to guitar, from harp to string quartets can be found in the lounges and atrium area. We especially enjoyed the acapella singing group “Sea Tones” consisting of four young men who sang songs that took us all down memory lane. In addition to the large selection of live musical acts, a very funny late night comedy/juggling act was presented by Thien Fu, and of course, there was the late night disco.
The Celebrity Theater, the main show lounge aboard the Millennium, is designed exactly like that aboard the Constellation and, again, is one of the best planned show lounges we have seen. The main area and stage is on Deck 4 with more veranda seating on Deck 5. Seating is angled down to the stage in such a way as to make for clear viewing from almost anywhere in the theater. The production shows presented by the Celebrity Singers and Dancers were outstanding. Our favorite was “Classique: A Musical Odyssey”, a musical review with several different styles including classical and pop.
Dru Pavlov, Cruise Director, performs the undaunting job of overseeing all onboard activities on the Millennium. He is a marvelously talented gentleman who has a knack for putting guests at ease and seems to be able to be in three places at once. During a private meeting with Mr. Pavlov, we asked about the production company used aboard the Millennium. Mr. Pavlov stated that Celebrity is beginning to have their own production company to produce their stage shows in-house. They have found that land-based production companies tend to produce shows that are geared for land-based audiences. By producing their shows in-house, the shows are geared to cruise guests.
Two of the Millennium’s “Taste of Luxury” concepts are worth special mention. “Elegant Tea” was served on two occasions during our cruise, once in the Metropolitan Restaurant for all guests and once in the Olympic Restaurant for Captain’s Club members. It was a jacket required activity with all the pomp and circumstance of high tea on the ultra-luxury cruise lines. The other “Taste of Luxury” was Davanti, a boutique in which you can be fitted for custom-made clothing.
Dining
Celebrity Cruises has a well-deserved sterling reputation in the area of dining, and our experience on the Millennium only served to further reinforce this. Celebrity continues to offer both assigned meal seatings and a variety of alternative dining options. Under the guidance of Master Chef Michel Roux (who happened to be on the Millennium during our cruise), CelebrityÂ’s culinary delights are made from scratch and seasoned with fresh herbs. The Millennium shines when it comes to food quality, presentation, variety and service.
The ultimate dining experience aboard the Millennium is the Olympic Restaurant. It is named after the White Star Line luxury liner RMS Olympic that entered service in 1911 and was a sister-ship to the ill-fated Titanic. Original panels from the RMS Olympic displayed in the Olympic Restaurant are a feast for the eyes. Reservations are required and should be made early in the cruise as limited seating does not allow for all guests to partake in this experience during a 7-night cruise. Even with a $25.00 per person charge, we strongly encourage you to try this elegant dining experience. The service, lead by the Maitre d' Dominique but with an entire team of waiters and much tableside preparation, makes for an unforgettable evening.
The Metropolitan Restaurant, the main dining room that accommodates two assigned meal seatings, is a two-story (Decks 4 and 5) masterpiece with a gorgeous aft view. Evening meals are exceptional and are enhanced by live music.
The Casual Dining Boulevard on Deck 10 encompasses several areas and provides a variety of food options during the majority of the day and evening. The Ocean Café has breakfast and lunch buffets that include omelet and pasta/sandwich stations along with theme lunch buffets of Oriental, Mexican and Italian food. During the evening, the Ocean Café becomes a casual dining alternative complete with waiters and white tablecloths. Reservations are suggested, and there is a $2.00 per person charge. Guests choose from a several course menu. Although the menu selection is not as extensive as in the Metropolitan Restaurant, the food quality, presentation and service are still top notch. According to Sharon, the lasagna she had one evening at the Ocean Café was the best she has ever tasted. Other food options available at the Casual Dining Boulevard are a pizza/baked pasta station, soup and salad buffet, Sushi Café, and an ice cream station.
Because we used the pool almost daily during our cruise, we became very familiar with the Riviera Grill located on Deck 10 next to the pool area. That wonderful scent of outdoor grilling lured us to the delicious burgers, hot dogs and French fries on several occasions. Pizza was also available at the Riviera Grill. The location is great as it is close to the Ocean Café if you prefer to dine indoors. For the more health conscious guests, the Spa Café located in the Thalassotherapy area offers healthy spa-inspired foods such as healthy breakfasts and light meals, including smoothies. The Spa Café is located in a low traffic area and was often less busy than other dining areas.
LetÂ’s not forget the 24-hour room service! The breakfast menu aboard the Millennium includes a variety of choices for a full breakfast, including omelets. If you make your breakfast room service order by phone or by leaving the order card on the outside of your door at night (rather than by ordering via your interactive TV), we found that you could make additions and enhancements to you order. For example, we asked for items such as fruit yogurt, bananas, and ham and cheese omelets (rather than plain omelets ). Each of our requests was honored with no hesitation. Lunch and dinner room service choices range from pasta and sandwiches to steak. We received all of our room service orders promptly and with a pre-notification telephone call to let us know that our order was on its way to our room.
Do you know about Celebrity CruisesÂ’ Celebrity Escape(SM)? Celebrity EscapeSM are CelebrityÂ’s cruises exclusively for guests over the age of 21. They are for parents who need a vacation from parenting and for guests who like to cruise without children on board. These cruises include extended hours for the pool and the AquaSpaSM, late night comedy acts including an adult themed show, a romantic Valentine's Night at sea and an enhanced room service breakfast menu.
Do you know about Celebrity CruisesÂ’ CaptainÂ’s Club Membership? One of the best cruise past passenger clubs is the CaptainÂ’s Club. The CaptainÂ’s Club membership is now free as opposed to the former $35.00 membership fee. There are three levels to the club based on the amount of sailed cruises, Classic Member, Select Member and Elite Member. Each level adds rewards and benefits. Priority boarding, complimentary wine tasting and one-category upgrades are just a few of the benefits. A welcome packet and invitations to various private events are delivered to your stateroom throughout your cruise. If you have cruised with Celebrity Cruises before and are not a member of the CaptainÂ’s Club, join now. It will enhance your next cruise aboard Celebrity Cruises.
Pros: Outstanding dining alternatives, friendly staff, the AquaSpa(SM) by Elemis
Cons: None
