We are a married couple that celebrated our thirteenth wedding anniversary aboard the Hawaiian sailing of 2 October 11. I use a wheelchair, so I can tell you of my experiences as a disabled guest. On this cruise, there were several people besides me using wheelchairs, scooters and canes; I hope they all write reviews also.
We stayed pre-cruise at the Beach Hut B&B in San Diego, and I highly recommend it, although the property is NOT wheelchair accessible, there are a few steps, which I can do without much pain. The property is listed on a Trip Advising website, where you can read more about it.
For me, a wheelchair user, the embarkation was smooth and fast. My husband and I got separated because he had to go return the rental car while someone from the Century whisked me up the ramp and onto the ship. My husband got stuck in the long line when he showed up, stuck in the hot sun that was cooking everyone like a greenhouse, on the up ramp, while the machine at the top of the ramp that checks in people's seapass cards was being repaired. My husband thought that some of the older guests would faint in the heat.

Wheelchair accessible, very quiet except for the shutting of doors which happened regularly. Nothing could be done about this noise because it came from the employees crew areas, but we got used to it and after a few days we forgot it was there. Cabin was close to the elevators, so it was easy to get around the ship.
