Like its
three sister ships, the 91,000-ton
Celebrity Millennium will gain a number
of popular features found on Celebrity's
Solstice-class vessels during a massive
makeover in April 2012.
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 -- 60 new cabins will be added.
Here's what you can expect to find on Millennium come next spring:
Forty-three new cabins will be added to Deck 11 -- 37 spa-oriented "AquaClass" cabins and six 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.
Millennium will receive all the already-announced Solstice-class upgrades, including

Millennium will receive all the already-announced Solstice-class upgrades, including
- Qsine, an inventive restaurant that uses iPad menus;
- Cafe al Bacio, a combination coffee house and gelateria;
- Bistro on 5, a creperia;
- Martini Bar;
Cellar
Masters wine bar, which features enomatic
wine dispensers; as well as upgrades to

The ship, known by its admirers as Millie,
will be the last of the four
Millennium-class vessels to receive
Solstice-class upgrades. Celebrity Infinity
and Celebrity Summit will go under the knife
for nearly identical upgrades in November
2011 and January 2012, respectively, and
Celebrity Constellation was refurbished in
May 2010 as part of the $120-million-plus
initiative.
