We are not novice cruisers, having sailed with Celebrity before, as well as with Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Holland America. Never before have we had cause to complain about anything but this was a new and different experience......
First, the good news: Considering the age of the Century she is in very nice condition. (We learned that this was the last cruise as a Celebrity ship; she was being sold to the Chinese.) The style is a little more traditional compared to the more modern vessels, but it has its charms. The staff were very courteous and attentive, especially the wait-staff in the Grand Dining Room; exemplary and well deserving of praise. The entertainment was good. The food was mostly excellent and the variety available in the "Islands" restaurant was quite impressive. Top marks to all the food staff in all dining rooms!
