Although Travelpage has some fantastic resources, the 'navigation' can be rather tricky!
Did you all recognise the new ship in front of the Albatros?

Yep, that passenger carrying river barge in front of Albatros is the Millenium (a fine name wasted on a bad excuse of a cruise ship). I tend to think that I like all cruise ships but she's on my "cruises ships that deserve a torpedo attack" list.

There is more to a ship than how she looks on the outside.Paddy.

Correct! It's interesting how the design of the Millennium has proved to be controversial! Many CruiseTalkers seemed pretty happy with the previous Celebrity ships.
Although Millennium is not my favourite looking ship, she's certainly more interesting than many of the newbuilds! She's very distinctive, after all you could not get her confused with a Carnival, NCL or RCL ship!

You are forgetting that she has a very beautiful interior with many saving graces, not least the delicious Olympic room.There is more to a ship than how she looks on the outside.Paddy.
Sorry boys but I was only teasing. Her interiors make up for the exterior but just barely. What is a shame is that the furniture of such a fine ocean liner like Olympic ended up in such an hideous ship. Everybody remembers Titanic but Olympic still remains on relative obscurity when in fact Olympic cleared the way for Titanic in terms of exterior/interior design. If designing a ugly cruise ship was considered a crime then the designer of Millenium would be facing a firing squad...
