B2B Cruise North East Asia/Japan
We had looked forward to this B2B cruise (North East Asia/Best of Southern Japan) since booking it back in 2019. The cruise itself was fab, picking up some amazing ports along the way. Unfortunately, the ship didn't live up to expectations. The Celebrity Millennium is looking pretty tired and it's a small ship for 4 weeks cruising. Entertainment was just about ok although it was repeated word for word on the second leg. We had expected the shows to change it up a little but even the daytime activities (which included paper airplane competition, bingo, carpet golf, etc.) were exactly the same. This meant that we did get pretty ship crazy by the end of the third week. Food was another disappointment. We have always enjoyed the restaurant experience onboard but the meals were, again, repetitive and pretty poor on occasions. I ordered a pork schnitzel one evening which came slapped on top of a spoonful of potato salad - no veggies, no sauce! That was the last straw and from then on we dined in the Oceanview cafe where there was plenty of choice. Most ports of call were great but if you do this cruise bear in mind that when you enter/leave Japan you have immigration procedures to go through which involves everyone leaving the ship (by numbers) and then you are not allowed back on until all passengers have disembarked. We looked forward to visiting Jeju, South Korea. Once again there was immigration to contend with, a sea day to get there and five hours on land!! To summarise, we thoroughly enjoyed most ports of call and our room (8142) was very comfortable. However, we would not cruise on Millennium again.
