Century

As an amazing deal came up on this ship me and my husband had to jump on the chance to take this cruise. At $350 / person including taxes we thought was a really good rate.
I knew that it is an older ship but we didn't mind. The room wasn't in the best of conditions and there were stains and it did look worn in areas. We found enough storage for all of our stuff though we are light packers.
We started our cruise eating just buffets which were okay.
The next day we participated in alot of activities that were offered onboard. The dinner in the dining room was really good and we enjoyed it better than the buffet.
The ports were the highlight and we spent alot of time looking around the islands.
Overall for such an amazing deal we thought that this was a great cruise and enjoyed it.

This was our first cruise on the Century and we were greeted with lots of rain. A real downpour which put a damper on our embarkation day.
The room had a beautiful expansive veranda which we used alot. Our attendant wasn't seen often but kept the room clean.
The ship was well maintained even if it was an older ship.
The food onboard was tasty and hot but nothing exciting. The service in the dining room was wonderful.
The entertainment was okay but I didn't see alot of the shows onboard.
Overall a good cruise and I would sail on her again.

We arrived at the port in Miami and it was a short wait until we were onboard and enjoying our lunch.
The ship was in good condition and we liked the decor onboard. We had an inside cabin which was fine for us. We were close in location to the pool deck.
Dining onboard the ship were good and offered alot of different choices. The dinner in the dining room was great with excellent service. I had a wonderful steak and lamb meal.
There were a lot of talented muscians and musical groups onboard the Century.
Overall we enjoyed our cruise on the Century and people shouldn't worry that she is an older ship.

We have sailed many times with Celebrity and Azamara and we have always enjoyed them. We were expecting the same on the Century as she has been remodeled even though she is an older ship.
We booked a CC category which is the concierge class.
The room itself was comfortable but we always got weird smells through the ventilation. Sometimes we had to leave our cabin all together.
Our attendant was rarely seen through the entire cruise which is not our experience with Celebrity.
The dining staff were not very friendly or helpfull. Our meals took forever to get to our table and they weren't the quality we were used to.
Overall the experience was less than satisfactory and you won't find us sailing again on the Celebrity Century.

I just came back from from my Artic Circle cruise on the Century. I was really happy with my stateroom and the ship is was all beautiful. My main complaint was the smoking on this ship. Certain sides of the ship were set aside for smoking but you could even smell it on the sides that were supposed to be nonsmoking. I heard from several other people who sailed Celebrity that this didn't happen on their other cruises. Also all announcements were spoken in 6 different languages so you really have a lot of different nationalities onboard. I really did enjoy the multicultural element to the cruise. My one other observation was on the shore excursions. The buses they used were nice but so narrow that people in wheelchairs or canes had a very hard time. There was no mention in the shore excursion booklet but many people with walking difficulties were getting very upset. Overall a good cruise but I wouldn't go again as once was enough.

This is our second cruise with Celebrity our first being on the Constellation which we didn't like so much. We have cruised extensively with RCL and love them and we also tried Holland America which we won't again. Our friends keep going on how much they love Celebrity so we thought we would give them a chance. Knowing that the Century has been refurbished we decided to give them a try. Embarkation was good and when we got on board we were greeted with a glass of champagne. We were in concierge class onboard which was really nice and we liked the attention that we got. Our attendant even asked us what kind of fruit we would like for our basket each day. The cruise itself was fun and we enjoyed all the activities onboard especially the bingo where I won $100.00. The shore excursions were fun but the prices for them I found pricey.

What we liked onboard:

- The Captain's Club hostess was phenomenal.

- Our room attendant was great. He would always be there to help us and would always remember our names.

- Overall, the Century has some good lounges.

- The Aqua Spa Cafe had some really good food that we enjoyed.

- Late dining! This was the first time we have ever tried it and we loved it. We were surprised how much we liked it but we just had a snack first to tide us over.

- Cova Cafe just a good place to settle down with a nice cup of coffee.

Things we thought needed improving

- this was the loudest dining room we have ever had.
- the pool was also a very loud place and they either need more pool loungers or a staff to enforce the no saving of seats rule.
