	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Inside It was truly a wonderful experience! by A Traveler from Fl. Sailing date: Oct 2008 Pros: The staff was exceedingly accomodation and very professional, the food was delicious and served with utmost flair. Cons: I was very dissafied with my room, it was below a staff activety room and was noisy until late into the night. If there is one thing I would address with the outlay of the ship, it is that some of the rooms were either below or above venues that served to intertain or activety room. that may it very difficult to enjoy any time in my room, both during the day for relaxasion, or at night. The television channel that was serving as a teaching tool and history lesson for upcomming excursions was unclear and the volume was very low. These are the only two things that I would like to see be rectified. Otherwise, the whole experience was absolutely top rate with a very professional staff, in particular the cruise director. He was simply amazing and had a very engaging personality. Sincerely, Ms. McIntosh 6 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Suite What a great cruise by Susan A from Milwaukee Wisconsin Sailing date: Feb 2009 Pros: We didn't stop in Cayman Islands due to bad weather so wewent to Key West instead Cons: There is nothing not to like We began cruising on the CELEBRITY Century ship in the mid 1980's. At that time the ship had only a few cabins with verandas. The ship went to drydock to be remodeled and the result inlcuded the addition of a bazillion rooms with balconies. The ships shows a little age but it has a certain elegance of old about it - especially the grand staircase into the main dining room. We prefer the CELEBRITY line overall and have cruised on its other ships to Alaska as well as the Panama Canal. The ratio of staff to passenger is what makes the difference in terms of "service" and hospitality. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Wine list was extensive and very good wines were served. The Martini Bar was also a big hit. Stateroom Quality Penthouse suite - very roomy and a good sized veranda that housed two reclining lounge chairs, and a small table and two chairs. Nice heavy door rather than sliding patio doors. Overall comfort was excellent. Heating/cooling also worked very well. Ship Staff Quality staff to passenger ratio very good. Read this user's port of call reviews: Ocho Rios, Jamaica Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Ocho Rios, Jamaica We have been in all parts of Jamaica several times, Ocho Rios has undergone a transformation over the past 5-8 years for the better. Dun's River Falls is a must see. Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is also fun especially for us two "oldies." We had fun there watching the spring breakers do a number on themselves - and could they dance!!! 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Pleasant, late season cruise to Alaska by Gian G. from San Diego, CA Sailing date: Sep 2011 Pros: Food in the main dining room was excellent along with the service from the wait staff. The entertainment on the ship was top notch every night and there were plenty of activities to do Cons: The ship is a little bit smaller and older than the gigantic ships that are being churned out by Celebrity and the other cruise lines. This ship felt a little old and needs a re-model. The activites are geared towards an older crowd. The ship itself felt a little dated but was adequate for our cruise itenerary, Some of the lounges were a bit small for the activities being conducted and often times got crowded. The theater was good sized and there were a great array of shows every night. The dining in the Grand Restaurant was excellent every night and our 2 waiters were top notch in service, while the buffet in the Island Cafe left a little to be desired. The hours were a little short as well (closed at 9:30 every night), so if you had a late day on shore and came back after that all that was available was pizza. The cinema was small and was indoors unlike the Movies Under the Stars that Princess Cruise Lines has on their ships. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship was easy to navigate and you could be anywhere within 5 minutes. The pool area was a little small and only 1 pool was heated so that was quite crowded. Theater was nice for shows. The Martini Bar was the site of many activities but was too small a venue for many of them. Dining/Food I only give this a "good" rating because of the buffet. The main dining room was excellent and I would recommend eating there every night if possible. The buffet was OK for breakfast but was the same every day. You can only eat eggs, bacon, and sausage so many times before you start to feel sick to your stomach. The dinner and lunch buffet times were too short and left much to be desired. I did like the ice cream bar that was open for much of the day. Stateroom Quality Comfortable for what it is meant for...sleeping and taking a shower. Not a great place to hang out. The bed was adequate but nothing special. The windows in the oceanview staterooms were a little bigger than I thought they would be. The TV's were too small and had a very limited number of channels. Shower curtains were a little moldy and should have been changed out along with the carpet. Closets smelled musty. Ship Staff Quality The best ship staff I have ever had the pleasure of being around. Everybody is friendly and willing to talk with you. The cruise director staff did a great job with the Celebrity Life Activities and were very accessible and personable. Entertainment & Activities I only thing I didn't like was that some of the activities overlapped each other and I wasn't able to do all of them. This cruise is geared towards an older crowd so there were not a lot of night time activities. Read this user's port of call reviews: Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska; Juneau, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska; Seattle, Washington; San Francisco, California; Skagway, Alaska Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska Not very much to do at this port except for shop at the stores. The tribal dance show is interesting but a can't miss activity. The forest tram is a waste of time and not very fun. The Zip line was closed because of the weater at the end of September but is supposed to be their biggest attraction. Don't Miss: Zip Line Juneau, Alaska The Mendenhall Glacier and Mt. Roberts Tramway are both must see items. Take the tram to the top of Mt. Roberts and look for Bald Eagles in the trees on the way up. If you are in good shape take a hike up one of the trails and look out for bears. We saw one not more than 30 feet for our trail just a short hike from the visitor center. When you go to the glacier, make the walk out to the waterfall. It is amazing and you will not be disappointed. Don't Miss: Mendenhall Glacier Ketchikan, Alaska The Lumberjack Show was fun. It was pouring rain all day so this is all we were able to see. Don't Miss: Lumberjack Show Seattle, Washington The Space Needle is cool but don't waste your money on the restaurant. The prices are outrageous and you have to spend a minimum of $50 to sit in the restaurant without paying the elevator fee. Entrees are at least $20 each. Check out the Experience Music Project in Seattle Center and go to the Sound Lab to play around with the instruments. It is a good way to waste several hours. Check out the flying fish at the Pike Place Market Fish Store Don't Miss: Space Needle San Francisco, California So many things to see and do in this city. The Golden Gate Bridge is a must do activity. If you have a car I would reccommend driving to Twin Peaks where you will have a view of the entire city to the north and the hills to the south. It is amazing. The Ferry Building on the Embarcadero is popular hang out for the foodies and there are several interesting restaurants. If you are looking for good workout. Try walking up the steps on Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower. You will be tired after that! Don't Miss: The Golden Gate Bridge Skagway, Alaska The White Pass Summit is beautiful. We were lucky enough to go when fresh show had fallen the night before at the end of September. The town is very rustic and has many old historic buildings. The cementary is something you could pass on but if you do go there, take the walk to the waterfall for some beautiful pictures. Don't Miss: White Pass/Yukon Railroad 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Stateroom Type: Inside This trip was awesome! by A Traveler from Colorado Sailing date: Mar 2011 Pros: We loved the intimate atmosphere on the Celebrity Century, affording rest, relaxation, fun activities and excellent service Cons: What's not to like? Although the Celebrity Century is not a large cruise ship, we enjoyed all the same luxuries and service we would have on a larger ship. The price was amazing, the food was wonderful, the staff were excellent, the ports of call had plenty of fun activities to do, and we returned from this trip feeling more rested and relaxed than at any other time. We can't wait to go to Alaska next! Ship Details: Ship Quality It's true, less really IS more! We never felt overwhelmed or lost on this ship, yet it still had all teh amenities you would expect on a larger ship. Dining/Food Food was great, the dining room was elegant, restaraunts were always open with interesting food choices. The service was just the best! Stateroom Quality Again, far surpassed our expectations. Ship Staff Quality We wanted to take them home with us! Entertainment & Activities There was a channel on the TV in our room that lets you know what's happening each day, the schedule of activities on board as well as off. Plenty of things to do for both adults and children of all ages. Children's Programs Our teenager had just as much fun as we did meeting new friends and participating in activities onboard. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Nice veranda, great service from the crew, food was a step above other mid-market cruise lines Ship Details: Ship Quality Boat was relatively small and lacking in modern amenities and activities Dining/Food Dining room fare was terrific, interesting, varied and tasty. wine list was ok--prices were reasonable--particularly mid list ($50-75) Stateroom Quality Had a Sky Suite--not big, not luxurious, not updated. Roomy veranda. Ship Staff Quality Great, friendly, professional crew Entertainment & Activities Comedian Troy Thirdgill was terrific. Will on the piano and voacals in Michael's Club was superb. Other than that--meh...

Quality of the buffet, however, was low. As in all cruises, avoid the excursions, which are overpriced and don't allow you to get a good feel for the ports and their surrounding areas -- set out on your own instead, using local transportation. The ship's staff was hard-working and upbeat. On-ship entertainment was not a highlight.
