Hi Voyager

 

How your parents go on?

If you do a Google search on "sewage smell cruise ship" you will see it's a common problem across most cruise lines. It's definitely been an issue on the Millie as far back as 2008 but like any ongoing problem once you get a few loud complainers it gets blown out of proportion.

 

Yes, if it affects you it can be a major problem, but I think the vast majority of Millie passengers wouldn't even know the problem exists. On my recent cruise I noticed it briefly on a lower deck corridor but only because I was alert for it. It was never a problem in public areas or in our cabin and I heard no other complaints.

Spent 28 nights on the Millie in 2013. Don't recall any sewage smell.

We did an Asian cruise on the Millenium in October. Overall we thought the ship was great and we loved the cruise.....however, the hallway outside our cabin did have an unpleasant sewage odor throughout the entire cruise. It wasn't overpowering and we never smelled it in our cabin, so I didn't think it was a big deal. We were mid-ship on the port side, right near the internet cafe. (Can't remember the deck number). Although we prefer the S class ships, I wouldn't hesitate to sail on the Millie again.

We were on the Millie in February and I also noticed the smell, though to be fair it was quite faint. I also have a really good sense of smell so whilst I could smell it, my other half couldn't.
