Just returned from a 12 night S Pacific on Century and as you will know, the ship is into its last few months with Celebrity. Century has been kept in good overall condition but is in need of some attention. I had a Sky Suite on the 12th floor with Butler service provided by Elmer, a real professional and genuinely nice person.
Check in at Sydney could not have been easier, 10 minutes from curb side to boarding the ship. There were 4 separate channels depending on your cabin type for check in and all were empty at 1130am. Staterooms were ready at 1pm and the bags arrived shortly thereafter.
The Sky Suite was excellent with a large room and a huge balcony and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi. The main dining room food was up to Celebrities normal high standards and delivered by the fabulous group of waiters that perform at the highest levels 3 times a day. People have commented about the cost of drinks but I would suggest that the vast majority of passengers on this ship, myself included were on a drinks package where it no longer matters. I didn't see value in paying more for a premium drinks package and found the wines/beers/cocktails available to be perfectly adequate.
