Just returned from a 5-day/4-night W. Caribbean (Key West and Grand Cayman Island) cruise aboard the refurbished Century. This was our first time sailing w/Celebrity and we selected them for their reputation. They did not disappoint. Overall our experience was wonderful!
Ship Overall: The ship is 10 years old, lovely with its refurbishment, but still shows signs of wear here and there. It never seemed crowded and the lounges were (surprisingly) often empty after the late dinner seating. The lounges are beautiful (the Martini Bar and the Crystal Lounge were our favorites) but avoid the Rendezvous Lounge if you don't like smoke. The Hemisphere Lounge and Dance Club on the 12th deck was busy and fun late night. The pool area and its 4 jacuzzis were always crowded, but chaise lounge turnover was consistent. People used the shallower pool mostly for games, and the deeper pool for cooling off. Pools are not large enough to swim for exercise. The AquaSpa is nice (albeit overpriced) and their bathrooms are beyond posh. Getting to the Main Restaurant (back of the ship decks 5&6) was confusing for everyone even after multiple nights, especially if you were seated on the 5th deck. The elevators do not connect you to the 5th deck restaurant entrance so you have to get off on the 6th deck and walk down not good for someone with mobility impairments. May people complained that the noise from the engines made it impossible to have a conversation with table mates in the Main Restaurant.
Stateroom: Our stateroom was in the new Concierge Class (CC) and had a veranda. From what we read on Celebrity's website, we were under the impression that the CC would offer better amenities, service and a few "extras" not found in other stateroom categories. We didn't find this to be the case. There was one Concierge assigned to the entire CC (approx. 176 staterooms) and any request we made of him seemed a bother. Additionally, the afternoon complimentary hors d'oeuvres provided in the CC staterooms are awful - unless you like unidentifiable spreads piped onto circular, very stale bread cutouts. The bed was rounded at the end and not long enough for anyone over 5' 10" tall. There were plusses though: plenty of closet space, the veranda, room service 24 hours/day (and surprisingly fast), the complimentary bottle of champagne in our room, and priority tendering for Grand Cayman Island.
