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.

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.
