Cruised Celebrity Century Aug 19th - 26th 2012 out of Vancouver. This was my 5th cruise and first time with Celebrity.

The cruise stank and I mean that literally as there was something wrong with the ship and after about day 3 there was a pungent methane/sewage smell that came and went for hours each day. The ship is old and showing wear. We were in a Sky Suite (1066). The deck was huge and we spent much time relaxing out there, however, some of the wood floor boards were lifting and the area needed paint. Other than the bathtub and large balcony, I don't know the difference between this and any other balcony room (although it did get us premium boarding on the ship). My roommate's mattress sagged in the middle like something you'd find at a hostel. There was only one plug so we took turns charging devices and, although there are 2 phones in the room, one didn't work at all and the one in the washroom only worked when you put it on "speaker".

The shows in the main theater were only okay. The cruise director did a great job but the quality of the other performers was lacking. We often left halfway through a performance out of boredom.

Cabin Review

Sky Suite

Cabin S2

We were in a Sky Suite (1066). The balcony was huge and we spent much time relaxing out there, however, some of the wood floor boards were lifting and the area needed paint. Other than the bathtub and large balcony, I don't know the difference between this and any other balcony room (although it did get us premium boarding on the ship). There was fresh fruit and hors d'oeuvres delivered daily which is a nice touch.

My roommate's mattress sagged in the middle like something you'd find at a hostel. There was only one plug so we took turns charging devices and, although there are 2 phones in the room, one didn't work at all and the one in the washroom only worked when you put it on "speaker". The cabin is just seconds from the Island Cafe one floor up which was advantageous. Leonardo D'Costa was our attendant and he went above and beyond even delivering me fresh ice three times a day for an injured shoulder.
