My husband and I took this cruise twice, B2B so this review is an amalgamation of both cruises. They were both basically the same with slight variations in entertainers, much better weather on the second cruise and a different Captain. But our enjoyment of the two cruises was the same.

As mentioned in my title, the itinerary is wonderful. We visited charming ports along this interesting section of the Californian Coast. We liked them all ( even Ensenada was OK as we did a ship's excursion) and Santa Barbara is a particularly beautiful town. And of course San Francisco is great (even in the rain!) As several people on the cruises remarked to us, it would have cost more to drive to and stay at all these destinations in prime locations.

The Century itself is a charming ship. I felt it was still in very good condition. A little cosmetic wear and tear but nothing that would affect one's enjoyment at all. Read more
