Millenium is getting a makeover
The Celebrity Millennium is getting a spruce up in April 2012. She will be getting some of the popular features which the Solstice class have.
Following the $40-million-plus dry dock, which will take place at the Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport, Millennium will emerge with 100 new or redesigned spa cabins, a trio of new restaurants and a new coffee house/gelateria. This 11-year-old ship will also get more crowded and 60 new cabins will be added.
Forty-three new cabins will be added to Deck 11 — 37 spa-oriented “AquaClass” cabins and 6 inside cabins — where the kids club is currently situated. The kids club will move next to the teen lounge, replacing one section of the observation lounge.
Seventeen other new cabins, which will be oceanview accommodations, will be added to Deck 3, replacing small meeting rooms and the cinema. A Solstice-class style conference room will be added, and the existing cinema will be remodeled.
In addition to the 37 new AquaClass cabins, 70 standard balcony cabins will be transformed into AquaClass cabins, which will sport massage showers, aromatherapy products and passes to the spa’s thermal suites, among other perks. These cabins are priced 10 or more percent higher than standard balconies.
Blu, the AquaClass-passenger-only restaurant that’s a staple on Celebrity’s incredibly popular Solstice-class trio, will take over a portion of the main dining room’s upper level on Deck 5.
Balconies will be added to the ship’s eight oceanview Celebrity Suites.
Millennium will gain an iLounge computer center and Apple product store, first introduced on Eclipse.
This is of particular interest to me as Millennium was the first ship I worked on. She will be in need of a makeover as she was the first in her class hence the name of Millennium.
I had to join her in the port of Punta Arenas in Chile. I was on my own flying from Miami to Santiago in Chile then a flight onto Punta Arenas. I knew NO Portuguese or Spanish for that matter. I actually don’t know how I got away with it. I suppose alot of hand signals and pointing in my phrase book!!
