Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview Celebrity Cruise by Jerry Pace from Kansas City, MO Sailing date: Sep 2010 Pros: Staff Cons: Lack of entertainment and constant selling of celebrity items and programs. Accomodations,food and staff were very good. The ship has next to no entertainment and is constantly trying to sell you something. We found that the shore excursions booked through the ship were marked up about 200 percent and you could find some reasonable tours with very good guides once you docked and went ashore. I would not recommend this cruise line if you want a relaxing trip. Ship Details: Ship Quality Accomodations are clean and updated. They have about five bars that they promote heavily. Charge 5 dollars for a draft beer with an automatic 15% gratuity. Dining/Food Good food, but got very tired of the same food the last few days. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Staff very well trained. Entertainment & Activities Very poor entertainment. Almost, no entertainment at all.

We saw Virgin Mary's House and Ephesus. The highlight of the cruise. Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy The cruise did not allow enough time to see everything in Rome. Dirty and busy city; but, very interesting. Mykonos, Greece Very interesting little Greek island. Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy Already been to Florence, so, we just visited Livorno. Piraeus (Athens), Greece Must see the Acropolis. Messina, Sicily Too much time in Sicily. Could not shop because of the siesta time and got very bored. Salerno (Naples), Italy Pompei was great. Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France Great port stop. Must see Monaco and Monte Carlo. 3 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Inside An excellent cruise by A Traveler from Paramaribo, Suriname Sailing date: Apr 2010 Pros: The ship was not crowded with to many passengers, the hospitality, the service, teh food and drinks, the hot tube, the cabin Cons: The Atlantic submarine excusion on Gran Cayman. The price was not worth it. The folders and picture are misleading. It was not what we had expexted. One of our ( daughter and mother) best experiences ever. It was our firts cruise and beyond our imagination. We loved and enjoyed it. The next cruise will be with husband and daughter. We like it every second. The booking till the arrival of the cruise was excellent.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Oceanview so, so cruise by vacationer from florida Sailing date: Apr 2010 Pros: time off,relax Cons: food,no pool slide or kids,old ship,early time direted on issrembarkation 7;40...we were in no hurry,no conection flight...wanted to sleep longer and relax and leave like we did with other cruise lines around 11 am..... will NOT go with Celebrity any more, I learned a lesson to find out how old is the ship and to read reviews before booking! Ship Details: Ship Quality was cleen,but small cabins and very old,very average Dining/Food been on 2 different cruises before...his one definitely the worst! Stateroom Quality too small,no bunk bed,instead the foldable bed,and queen bed...no room in between Ship Staff Quality very nice staff Entertainment & Activities last nice was great,all others...nothing special Children's Programs 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Inside A Relaxing Cruise by Maureen G from Phila., PA Sailing date: Feb 2010 Pros: Lots of Champagne! Cons: Problems with a Table for 2 This was my third cruise with Celebrity Century (13th cruise total) and I highly recommend Celebrity! They are very organized with embarkation and disembarkation. It is nice to be greeted with a glass of champagne to start vacation! The ship is smaller than the other lines and it is refreshing! Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship is older, but it is very clean and has been refurbished. Dining/Food The food was good, but not as good as on previous cruises. The menu always had steak and chicken available. Although I made reservations for a table for 2, this was a problem for the first 2 nights, but finally rectified. The dining room was not open for lunch on days in port and the menu had some odd choices. The Aqua Spa was a GREAT oasis with healthy choices! Stateroom Quality Average size. Made excellent use of space for closets and storage. Rug in stateroom needed replacing. Ship Staff Quality Outstanding ship staff! Very friendly and EVERYone made a point of saying hello! Entertainment & Activities Terrific variety. Evening entertainers were much better than usual cruise entertainers. The comedian was top notch and brought tears to my eyes!! 8 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside It's YOUR vacation by Charlie W. from St. Paul, MN Sailing date: Jan 2010 Pros: Freedom to choose to do what we wanted to do A four-day break from the mid-winter blahs -- just what the doctor would have ordered (had I consulted one). This is YOUR VACATION, so you can do with it whatever you like: relax, read, swim, work-out, run, attend a presentation about piracy on the high seas, eat, sleep, meet others, whatever! Celebrity Cruise Lines has a wide variety of choices for you -- but doesn't coerce you in any one direction. The food was delightful, and the service outstanding. We enjoyed chatting with the crew to learn about their stories... Excellent entertainment with the singers and dancers. And Louis Johnson was absolutely hilarious. Party at poolside with the talented party band, or meander to aft deck for mellow guitar tunes. The half-day in Key West and the day in Cozumel were perfect stops along the way. Next cruise: ALASKA! Ship Details: Ship Quality Stay amidships on a middle deck (deck 9) and you're within a easy walk to anywhere on the ship within moments. Dining/Food Did not try the specialty restaurant. Did not need to as the food in the main restaurant was excellent. Good choices each day, with special choices carefully and tastefully prepared. Stateroom Quality Nice size room, even though it was just an internal cabin. Ship Staff Quality Very, very good. Entertainment & Activities Really top notch. Especially enjoyed Louis Johnson. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside It was all great by Liz R from Atlanta Sailing date: Jan 2010 Pros: staff, service Cons: jamaica The Celebrity Century was very nice. Waiters, sommeliers, and stateroom attendents were above and beyond my expectations, just incredible. We are a young married couple who celebrated our 1st anniversary onboard, and were impressed at the ship's nice mix of people. The mix was nice, not too many old people, and not too many younger people, no rude punk kids or teenagers. Ship Details: Ship Quality Great decor. Staterooms especially look great, not drab at all. Public areas not too crowded, except pool deck during at sea days. Dining/Food Main dining room food: impeccable. Looked forward to eating there every time, luckily it's open for all 3 meals a day. Island Cafe: this is the buffet that's open all the time, it was cold when we went :( They do have sushi, ice cream, stir fry, pasta, pizza that are good though! Stateroom Quality Our interior stateroom was perfect. We really didn't need a larger room! Great decor made it feel like a posh hotel. Ship Staff Quality Sommelier called us by name every time, even though we weren't "winos"! Our waiter was very well trained, and very personable--not too stuffy and not to "buddy-buddy" with us, but very respectful. Our stateroom attendant gave us towel swans, rose petals on the bed, and champagne at evening turn-down for our anniversary...free! Entertainment & Activities Some days we wanted to be busy every waking moment, other days we chilled out & relaxed, but we were able to do either & enjoy ourselves! Shore excursions in Jamaica were fun but interrupted constantly by locals offering weed, and worse drugs, and offering to braid my hair. They even grabbed one of us. BE CAREFUL off the boat in Jamaica 7 out of 8 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: Oceanview We loved The Celebrity Century by MiMi B. from Bardstown, KY Sailing date: Nov 2009 Pros: Staff, stateroom, entertainment, quality of shore excursions Cons: having to leave after our cruise was over I loved the smaller ship. It was so easy to find everything on board and it never seemed crowded even though it was fully booked. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food I loved the fact I could order escargot every night if I wanted. Stateroom Quality We were on deck four with an oceanview. It was so convenient to everything. Ship Staff Quality The staff was professional and extremely friendly. I really appreciated that about them. Entertainment & Activities I think the entertainment was the best I have seen on any cruise. This was my 11th and the first on a Celebrity ship. 5 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

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: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside A Disappointed Cruise by Howard W from Montreal, Quebec Sailing date: Aug 2009 Pros: Nothing Cons: The ship First room was not clean nor in good repair. Second room was not as nice but was clean. Ship is old, clean but old. Too much emphasis on drinking at all times of the day from morning to night. Handling of our valises was poor. Celebrity lost our valise at the end of the cruise.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation A must see for the historical aspects of the city. Also interesting to see modern Russian people. Not like the stories of the Communist era. Don't Miss: Pushkin and Peterhof Stockholm, Sweden Easy to walk around on your own. You see more of the city and the people that way. Tallinn, Estonia Interesting old city goes back hundreds of years but look at the modern section too. Just as interesting in a different way. Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany Berlin - Check out the sites visited by the tours and choose several and see them yourself. Easy travelling by tram and subway. A must see but whether you like it or not is an individual thing. 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
