So it is with Celebrity's specialty restaurants located on celebrity's Millennium-class ships. Reminiscent of ocean liners of the past, these distinctively elegant restaurants offer a dining experience like no other at sea. Savor the five-course menu creations of Master Chef's prepared tableside with a medley of aromatic ingredients. Relish the timeless ambiance of an intimate dine-in wine cellar.
