Did We Make A Mistake Cruising On An Old Ship?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a twelve night cruise aboard the Celebrity Millennium, which is the oldest vessel in the Celebrity fleet at twenty six years old. They explore various aspects of the ship, including the Retreat suite, dining options like the Lumiere restaurant, and public spaces such as the atrium and the Sky Lounge. The video compares the experience of sailing on a vintage ship to being on newer vessels, noting that while some exterior areas show signs of aging, the interior renovations and amenities remain impressive. The creators highlight the intimate service provided by the crew and the high quality of the food, which they found comparable to newer ships. Additionally, the video features excursions in Indonesia, specifically in Lombok, where the creators visit local villages, rice fields, and waterfalls. They conclude that cruising on an older ship can be a successful travel hack due to the increased public space and potentially lower costs, ultimately recommending the Celebrity cruise line over competitors for this region.

Creator's Key Takeaways
She's the oldest ship in Celebrity's fleet.
She really does look good. I mean, she's 26 years old. So, she's an old girl.
I am so surprised. Not only at how good the ship looks, she's an old one, guys.
What surprised me the most is that there really isn't that much difference in terms of quality of food and service and everything else compared to celebrities newer ships.
