Jim, we agree! We are continuing to relive our 3 Sep cruise on the Millennium via your posts. Edited October 20, 2021 by cruzzzinma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B2B were cautioned to avoid the elevators to assure we didn't get inconvenienced. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took us into the terminal to check our paperwork and like Jim said it was about 12:10 when they started letting people onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand your feeling and would think you would really love the Edge Retreat which is very much like the Sky Lounge ---- All glass walls over looking helm of the ship. I definitely thought Michael's Club was a cave. The new edition is a lot like my dentist's waiting room, though. Is Edge Retreat the only option for forward viewing from inside? I'm looking at 2023 spring Apex TA and fjords B2B but probably can't swing a suite solo for both. Not familiar with E-class deck plans yet.

It spirals up and there a nooks to sit in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that all cruise ex Southampton have one, but am surprised that it is available from a US port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentin53 Posted October 20, 2021 #761 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Jim, first of all I want to thank you for the information and the wonderful photos you post every day. We have reservations for Millennium from 21.02.2022 - 03.03.2022 and Apex from 05.03.2022. I want to ask you, if possible, to ask Guest Relations if it will be possible, before we get off the Millennium, to do an antigen test for the second cruise or not. According to the rules, the test must be 2 days before departure, ie. on 03.03.2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted October 20, 2021 #762 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I don't think that will work as they do the B2B testing the day before debarkation so that would be on the 2nd. They won't be doing testing on the turnover day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseNYC Posted October 20, 2021 #763 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Loving all the photos and posts. Thank you, again, for posting and keeping us along with you. Question: I must have missed something but did you Move Up or had you pre-booked Retreat for second cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted October 20, 2021 Author #765 Share Posted October 20, 2021 As many of you know I try to stay upbeat and try not to be critical but our first night dining experience was problems the 2nd worst experience I have had in 20 years cruising. I will chalk it up to first night but will be discussing with the restaurant Manager in hope it improves or we will be going back to Blu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted October 20, 2021 Author #766 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Day 1 Menu I had a Caprese Salad from Blu and Filet. Iain had the Salmon starter and Prime Rib from MDR menu. Edited October 20, 2021 by Jim_Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted October 20, 2021 #767 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I hope Iain requested the brown gravy on the prime rib, otherwise that's just not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
