Japan cruise 2 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2024
I had a wonderful trip, thank you Global Journeys. It was well organised and you made the whole process very simple.
Worst Cruise Ever 22 , VIC, Australia, Nov 2023
Can't speak highly enough of the service provided by Global Journeys. Professional and timely. On the other hand, Celebrity Cruises in general and Millennium in particular, would be the worst cruise experience i have ever suffered. It's easy to see why as it has to do with the business model and culture. Celebrity provide a low entry point with absolutely ...read more basic services, encouraging customers to upgrade. Food is terrible and one wonders whether chefs are actually employed. Wi Fi is a joke with better service on an offshore hotspot. Rooms are tiny and bathrooms even tinier. Most activities are product/market oriented. Difficult to find a space with silence. Shops stocking bags, watches and little of any practical value. Specialty restaurants and Spa services are outrageously overpriced, esp. for Australians, Canadians, etc with low rate to the USD. Drinks package is a joke, particularly for those who don't drink alcohol. Mineral Water was part of the "Premium Package". Evening entertainment was excellent.
