We just returned from an amazing 13-day Hawaii cruise onboard the Celebrity Century, and we can sum up our experience to one word, "WOW". My husband and I have cruised several times before with various cruise lines--Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity, and this cruise was by far the best. Most important to us when choosing a cruise are itinerary, food and service; to that end Celebrity Century definitely did not disappoint.

Itinerary:

The itinerary is excellent with 1 day in Kauai, 2 days each in Oahu, Maui and the Big Island. We had been to Oahu and the Big Island before, so this trip we did not take a lot of excursions. While in Oahu, we walked around the pier, went to Chinatown and took Bus 20 to the Aloha stadium swap meet. If you are planning to take the bus, the fare is $2.50 per person and do ask for a transfer ticket. You can take the same bus (#20) back to Pier 11 using the transfer ticket if it is within 3 hours. It was interesting to shop at the swap meet. One can find many inexpensive souvenirs/gifts. We bought seven t-shirts for $20 and some local handicraft. Wish we had gotten a cheap collapsible carry-on bag though, it would have come in handy in the following ports of call. Read more
