	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great traveling hotel by Tom H. from Baltimore, MD Sailing date: Oct 2009 Pros: Quality of the sit-down dinners Cons: Quality of the buffet Good ship and excellent dinners in the main dining room. 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.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Pleasant cruise.... by Jackie from California Sailing date: Aug 2009 Pros: The relaxing Cons: Being tied to a schedule and the expensive shore excursions The service was impecable. The food was above average for a cruise. The land excursions were a total rip off. You are forced to use the ships excursions in Russia if you don't have a visa. I would highly recommend booking an off shore excursion or getting your own visa. Or just do the sights only, they use the local souviener shops for your "shopping" tours rip off!

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation Did a private car through the ship. Dont waste your time with the shopping and I am a shopaholic!! Very interesting city. We did the Pushkin palace that was beautiful, worth the money although it takes 2 hrs to get there because of the traffic, the dinner was below average and they nickle and dime you for everything.,, they wanted 2 euros for butter for the dry bread. Also we did a private car the next day to St peterholf again the traffic was 1 1/2 to get there... with the cars being 450 dollars for 4 hrs was kind of rushed. Don't Miss: hermitage, pushkin palace Stockholm, Sweden Very clean and beautiful!!! We would def go back and stay here for a week Tallinn, Estonia Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany The history there is great see the local sights. 0 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

The swimming pool was small and the pool area was average. The chairs could have been better.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Inside Good Cruise, Could Have Been Better by Mark M from Athens, GA Sailing date: Mar 2009 Pros: The quality of the ship was superb! Very clean and easy to get around, friednly staff Cons: The food was dissapointing and overall entertainment not the best We were a group of ten on our senior spring break of college. We were not looking to do an MTV wild night but we were not looking to be in bed at 9 either. The celebrity century is a beautiful ship inside and out. The staterooms were big enough to fit three college guys and our steward took good care of us. Upon boarding we were given a glass of champagne and it certainly was a great way to say bon voyage. The food at the main dinner was a big letdown. Everything I had heard about celebrity was that the food was to be incredible, I found it to be just the opposite. The food was sub-par on most nights and tend to lack any real excitement. The sushi bar was a great addition and the ability to order room service all hours of the night was helpful. All of the food shutdown so early though so you were forced to eat room service instead of go up for a midnight snack, no midnight buffet on Century. The drinks were not the cheapest, on average about $8 dollars a drink. The pools shutdown at 8 and that includes the hot tubs. The casino had very low-limits which made it more enjoyable to play as I would otherwise have no money left. The shows were okay. It was a cruise ship and not Radio City Music Hall and I can understand that. We stopped at the Keys and on Grand Cayman, both islands were great and I really did have a great spring break. I just built up the food to be much better in my mind and it was a let-down. I don't really see what was so luxurious about Celebrity cruises. They don't make you feel like a celebrity, they make you feel like you should be lucky to get what you get. Ship Details: Ship Quality Beautiful Ship, well laid out.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Oceanview Good Cruise for the Price by Keith J from Athens, GA Sailing date: Mar 2009 Pros: The 5-night cruise was competitively priced with other 3 and 4-night cruises. Cons: With the exception of free room service, all of the dining rooms shut down after 11pm. The cruise included everything one would expect with a typical trip. However, several corners were cut to save cost on their part. These cons include closing all dining rooms after 11pm, closing the pool and hot tub area at 8pm, and not providing significantly different food on the formal dinner night.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Excellent service, "meh" destinations by Eric M. from Columbus, OH Sailing date: Jan 2009 Pros: The service was fantastic, simply top-notch Cons: Jamaca was dirty & pushy, and weather kept us from Grand Cayman The Celebrity Century was a well laid-out, good looking ship. Moving around the ship was easy and straightforward and it was well- appointed with art. Reasonably smooth riding, though there was some rough weather one night and we did have some noticeable roll. There was on-going maintenance (painting balconies, varnishing rails, and the like) but it never interfered with any of our activities. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food We did not eat in Murano, the specialty resturant, but the dining at the main one was alternatingly excellent and mediocre. Of the five nights, two dinners were outstanding, one was passable, and two were avereage. The presentation of food was excellent, but the taste, consistancy, and choices were sometimes lacking; i.e., the cremebrule one night had incredible flavor, but was liquid, literally runny. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality We never once passed a crew-member that did not stop whatever they were doing to say "Hello." The service was just remarkable, all aspects were wonderful. Read this user's port of call reviews: Ocho Rios, Jamaica Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Ocho Rios, Jamaica We found Ocho Rios to be dirty, vastly over-priced, and the people there were pushy. Dunn's Falls was great, but even that was just another series of vendors to avoid and hard-selling "guides" with DVD's or tapes of your "adventure." 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

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: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Oceanview Nice Cruise by claudio G from West palm Beach florida Sailing date: Oct 2008 Pros: Plenty of things to do on ship Cons: The room is way too small The experience was pretty good.However a couple of things to be aware of:First the staterooms are too small for 3 people.The third person has to be able to climb steps to get to a bunk bed.This is better for a child.We did not have a balcony ,next time I would reccommend a balcony since window can not be opened.The room can be very confining.This is a fast paced cruise if you want to visit the cities from the port.You should reasonably fit.There is a lot of walking.Overall the experience was good ,however I prefer to stay at a hotel next time too spend more quality time in the city I am visiting.
