My family (myself 39, wife 36, daughter 7 and mother-in-law 60's) just returned from a wonderful 5 day Western Caribbean Cruise aboard Celebrity's Century. This was the forth cruise for my wife, my third, M.I.L's second and the first for my daughter. My wife and I cruised on the Century once before in 1998, and looked forward to being on board again.

We booked two inside cabins in December as an X-mas gift for my M.I.L and our daughter, we had a chance to upgrade due to our Captains Club membership, but choose not too because we were not guaranteed to have adjoining cabins.

We booked air separately and saved a considerable amount from Celebrity's offer. The flight from Cleveland to Miami got in early and after a short taxi ride we were at the pier by 11:15. Embarkation was short and painless and we were onboard eating lunch by noon. I can't say enough about how impressed I was by the speed and efficiency of embarking. The ship is beautiful, however it was only a few years old when we last cruised, so I can't say how much it was improved. Needless to say we were just as impressed the second time aboard as the first. Read more
