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.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring a few different versions of different plugs from around the world and some USB adapters.
โœ“Check the price on land before buying anything in the ship's shops to ensure you're getting a bargain.
โœ“Use the app to look at the menu before dinner to wet your taste buds.

Older ships might be rundown, smelly, or outdated. โ€” The ship had a major refit in 2019 and looks fantastic inside; it doesn't smell and is well-maintained.
Food and service quality might be lower on an older ship. โ€” The food and service were excellent, comparable to newer Celebrity ships.

Did we make a big mistake by booking a 26-year-old cruise ship for a 12-night bucket list trip? https://squarespace.com/benanddavid to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code benanddavid Most people think "older" means "outdated" or "falling apart," but what we found onboard the Celebrity Millennium during our cruise through Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand completely shocked us. She's the oldest cruise ship in Celebrity Cruises fleet. You might assume the newest mega-ships are always better, but weโ€™re comparing this "Grand Dame" of the seas to the brand-new fleet to see if the food, entertainment, and our suite actually hold up or if theyโ€™re showing their age.
