Celebrity has decided to cancel the current cruise of the Millennium. Guests will be flown back from Ketchikan.
She’s due to depart from Anchorage on her next cruise on August 23rd. No word on the status of that one yet.
Royal Caribbean (Celebrity’s parent company) spokesperson:
Our engineers, along with expert consultants from the motor’s manufacturer, and our Marine Operations team in Miami, have continued working around the clock to resolve the mechanical issues onboard Celebrity Millennium. Together, they have been doing everything they can to fully determine the root cause of the problem. Regrettably, as of this time, they have been unable to find a satisfactory solution that would enable the ship to continue with its sailing.
