The pod problems mentioned that the Millennium, Infinity and Summit all suffer from is a design flaw that has plagued these three ships since they were first launched. The pod problems do not happen on most cruises, but when they do they can be quite disrupting of a planned itinerary.
I can well understand the reaction of those who have not yet been caught on one of these cruises but when you are on one of these pod cruises I think you come away with a different impression of these ships. As one who has been badly burned by one of these problems, I can say they are certainly no fun when they do happen. If you would like information about one of these "pod" cruises, please see my review of my Celebrity Summit cruise that I posted on 11/21/07, for what can happen. As I said most cruises go off without a hitch and you should be alright but it is something that should be considered when booking one of these ships. I do like the size and layout of the ship but I don't think I would ever take a chance on another heartbreaking cruise, like the one that I had on the Millennium's sister ship, the Summit.
