My husband and I sailed away on March 11. This was a 5 day, 4 night cruise sailing from Miami to Key West and then off to Cozumel. This was my second cruise and DH first. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this cruise was. From beginning to end. We had our express pass and it took us 10 minutes to get on, and then 10 off. Easy. Getting off was a little harder due to our luggage, just took a while. Next time, I won't check my luggage getting off. I will just take it with me to breakfast. I would STRONGLY consider this if you have yet to go. But other than that it was PERFECT!! Gerinimo was our server in the MDR every night. We had select seating and made reservations the first night for 6p every night. We ALWAYS got a two top and a window view. More than happy with this. I don't really prefer talking with strangers on my getaway with my DH. He was very knowledgeable, not only about the food, but about everything. Very kind. Always a smile. Then our state room attendant was amazing too. Her name was Rosa. I wish I could have brought them home with me, that's how amazing it was.

Then the martini bar was amazing. Just our style. Best value for drinks. Very strong and only $10 each. But watch out, it can add up. One night our bill there was $85.00! But well worth it. We went to the comedy show with James Stephens III, he was hilarious, but if you get offended easily, this isn't for you. They also had a show with dancing, wasn't our thing. Didn't think they were good. But it doesn't matter, you can leave whenever you want and there is plenty to do. I brought my own toilet paper and my own soap. Glad I did. I have sensitive skin, so that's just me. Also I did get sick the last day, but that's just because we went snorkeling on a tiny boat (not offered by Celebrity- but a local- which was $35pp plus tip) Getting back to the food, the buffet was good, not as good as the MDR. But very convenient. They had pizza late at night which was nice too. But in the MDR, the second day, they knew our name, what we liked and didn't like and also how our steaks were cooked. UNREAL. I want to go back right now just talking about it. Then our attendant.. Rosa, was amazing, if I asked for anything, she or someone else was there in less than two minutes.

Cozumel was a little bit of a let down. NOT Celebrity's fault. Basically about three years ago, there were bad hurricanes in Cozumel, wiping out the port, so all of the cruise lines got together and had to build their own port. They are all over you to buy stuff, but what you can do, is haggle with them, then thirty minutes before your ship leaves.. go back to haggle some more, they get desperate at that point. Also, I don't know if it's just that time of the year (spring break), but they had a Royal Caribbean there the same day, and Oh my gosh, I couldn't be happier to get back on the ship. There were drunk kids running all around. I'm 28, so I'm no old fart, but one chick came up to my DH and pulled his nipple and asked if he wanted a shot! Not to mention for TWO DRINKS, it was $27 plus tip (this was at Senor Frogs).. It was awful. Some people couldn't eve walk, so that was funny. Other than that, it was ok. Again.. So glad to get back on our Celebrity. Key West was nice to stop at, very relaxing and the water couldn't have been prettier. Shops were cheap too; we went to a bar and relaxed. Very nice. Overall, my cruise experience was a 10+. Very happy with the Celebrity Century. My DH and I are already talking about booking a cruise with Celebrity next year. Oh.. one other thing, people in reviews sometimes mention that there is a smell on the ship. No, no dear one, that isn't the ship. That- usually, is smelly people. The people on the cruise were very classy... but sometimes people have issues. Ya know? ;)
