Photo tour of the newly renovated Celebrity Millennium

I can’t believe that a little over a week ago I was on the Celebrity Millennium.  The 15 day cruise went by a lot quicker than I thought it would.  As I deal with "Cruise Lag" and settling back in to life on land, I thought I would share some pictures of the ship.  

Celebrity Millennium in Costa RicaAs usual, after the welcome aboard buffet lunch, I went floor by floor exploring.  The Celebrity Millennium was the final Millennium Class ship to be renovated as part  of Celebrity Cruises’ "Solsticizing" project. The renovations added features that cruisers enjoy with Celebrity’s Solstice Class ships. The project was completed in May, so I was excited to see the ship with these new additions.

Ship Overview

Grand Foyer

Pool

Pool Deck
There were a lot of different types of loungers and places to relax throughout the ship.

Located on the 11th floor, this lounge is great for viewing.

 Fitness Room

Coffee House serving speciality coffee, tea, and pastries.

Two-story library housing a variety of books and cozy spots to read.

Aquaclass Stateroom

Look for more detailed reports on dining but here are a few highlights to see the decor of each.

The Metropolitan Restaurant

Qsine, Specialty Dining Restaurant
The Qsine menu includes food from all around the world, all the dishes are meant to share.  (Service charge applies)

FreshCruiser Tip: I always take pictures of the ship on the first day, that way I know I've gotten all the common places and don't have to worry about it for the rest of the trip.

All of the renovations on the Millennium look beautiful! Celebrity Cruises does a great job with decor, in my opinion. The grand foyer looks especially dramatic and I can't wait to try out Blu on my next cruise when we're in Aqua Class on the Reflection. It's so nice to see Celebrity putting the rest of their cruise ships on the same level as the Solstice class. Thank you for showing all the great pics FreshCruiser!

Great pictures of the ship! I've been looking all over for some pictures of the Millennium since the renovation but these are by far the best I've seen. Exactly what I'm looking for when I go on my next cruise. The pool area looks beautiful.

Great pics! I can't wait to hear about the rest of your cruise. A 15-day cruise sounds amazing and something I am definitely working toward.
