We live in Florida and were able to drive to the Port of Miami. We reserved a parking place at United Parking in Miami which was a mile from the port. On arrival to the garage, we pulled into the parking spot and within a couple of minutes the shuttle pulled up ready to take us to the ship. Great service and half the price of parking at the port.
Check-in for us was at 1pm and there was about a 10 minute wait and we were on-board the ship, heading up to lunch on the 11th deck.
Our first impression of the Celebrity Century was a good one - the ship was clean and the decor appeared rich. Our cabin was an interior on the 9th deck which was a perfect location - two floors up to the pool deck and two floors down to the theater.
Great location - easy access to main areas of the ship. Interior room was small but there was ample closet space. Shower was larger than we have experienced on many ships.
