We went on Celebrity Century last year on an Eastern Caribbean cruise. I was curious to see how the 2 compared.

Carnival had a much better embarkation and disembarkation process. However, the service on the Carnival Destiny was very poor.

The main dining room was the on the verge of being terrible. At times, our table hadn't even placed our order and other tables were being served their main course!!

Most everyone changed into shorts once dinner was over. On Celebrity, I remember hearing an announcement that asked if you were in a public area on Formal Night, to please remain in formal dress. I am not into dressing up too much, but I thought it was a rather nice touch and had a blast on those Formal Nights! Read more
