Millennium photos - newly refurbished decor

[GARYTHEHITMAN]

I recently returned from the June 8 sailing of the Millennium from Seward, AK to Vancouver, BC, Canada. This was my first cruise with Celebrity, also first time on a larger cruise ship --- all my previous cruises have been on small ships such as Club Med, Windstar, Rennaisance.

 

I took a lot of photos of the newly refurbished interior of the ship, which can be seen online at my Picasa website, at the folllowing link: https://picasaweb.google.com/108922422869265475120/CelebrityMillenniumOnBoard#

 

Almost all of the photos were taken in available light, no flash. Several were taken with an extreme wide-angle lens, which tends to alter perspective somewhat --- walls and surfaces may not seem to be parallel.

 

I managed to get into all of the restaurants, with the exception of Blu --- seemed like when they weren't serving a meal, the wait staff was having a meeting, or the doors were closed.

 

I found the interior decor to be quite tasteful, with a lot of interesting art works. Each of the elevator lobbies had a small statuette or sculpture in a wall niche on each floor. I did a collage of these pieces for easier viewing.

 

Enjoy!

Very nice!

She looks much brighter than the Constellation.

I love the looks of the Olympic Restaurant, sure know I will spend some evenings there next January :D

Great pics, thanks for sharing!:)

Great pictures, thank you. I see some spots we missed in May. Luckily we're going back onboard next April.

Thanks so much for sharing. We're leaving July 6th on the Millenium (same cruise) and really appreciated seeing your pics.

Great photos! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for the great photos. And you have taught me something new. I did not realize you can share photos on Picasa. Now maybe I can figure out how to do the same. :)

Gary, your pictures are much better than mine of the interior which are posted at this link: Photos of the Millennium Public Spaces.

 

Here's a picture of BLU

I would concur, the Millie refurb seems brighter, bolder and more Solstice like!

[TeaBag]

Thank you so much for posting your pictures. I wish I didn't have so long to wait to sail on her.

I was on the Millie a year ago, does my heart good to see the updates. Makes me want to go back for sure.

[emileg]

Thanks for sharing your photos. We are taking the Millie in February and can't wait. Loved that last Alaska sunset picture. You should enter it in a Celebrity photo contest!

[g8rfan94]

We were on the Millie about 19 months ago. The refurb looks awesome, as are your pics. I would love to take another cruise on her. We're sailing the Summit next week. Looks very similar to pics I have seen of her.

 

Your pics of Alaska are stunning. Very hard to capture, yet you have managed to do a fantastic job.

[Despegue]

Especially the Rendez vous lounge seems brighter, and in general, the ship seems the most modern and succesful of all solstications. Well done

!

Great pictures thanks

 

Like the look of what they have done to make Michael's club busier - now which beer to try first?

Beautiful pictures--thank you! I sailed on the Millennium in 2006, and I hardly recognize her now-- the ship looks even more stunning!

 

Thanks to Tenn4ever for the pictures of Blu. Out of curiosity, where is Blu located on the Millie?

Blu is located on deck 5 Aft on the same level as the upper level of the Metropolitan Dining Room (main dining room upper level). It's beautiful. Even though I didn't dine there I was allowed to come in and make pictures when no one was there.:)

[mum and son]

Fantastic pictures - thanks so much for posting the link. :)

[vickykay]

Great pictures. What kind of camera did you use?

 

Thanks.

Great pictures. The best I have seen so far including many features that nobody else has thought of photographing. Well done!!

[CruisingGoddess]

Great photos! How in the world did you get so many photos with no people in them?

 

We are doing the opposite route. Do you happen to have any photos/scans of the menus and the daily schedules?

We did the Vancouver to Seward route on June 1. We loved it - had the most gorgeous weather :D. I have menus and daily schedules. However, I don't know when I will get them scanned in. I may try the menus tonight but I don't know about the daily schedules.

Great pictures, thanks for posting. The ship looks gorgeous! The Alaskan cruise is on my bucket list, and your pictures are keeping it there.

That would be wonderful! If it's easier to photocopy and mail them or mail the originals and have me mail it back, I'd gladly pay for shipping and scan them for everyone too. :D
