We thoroughly enjoyed an Eastbound transit through the Panama Canal on the Century. This was our first cruise with Celebrity and I was very impressed. This is an organization that totally gets customer service. With one exception, (noted below) every member of the crew we met greeted us with a friendly and smiling hello or good day, including the Captain and the Senior Officers. I probably saw the Captain of this ship more in one day than I did in an entire week on other ships. The ship was spotless with constant cleaning of washrooms and walkways. Hand sanitizers everywhere. Food was good, nothing spectacular, but also nothing wrong with it, good sized portions. Entertainment was very good, the ship's band is amazing. State-room was clean and comfortable. (though see below) Lots to do, or not do....whatever is preferred.

Thoroughly enjoyed Michael's. Went almost every night. The entertainer there is an incredibly talented musician named Jordan Peterson. He is as gifted a piano player as I have heard and has a great repertoire of songs. He was very personable and always encouraged the audience to make requests. We heard everything from Patsy Cline, Sinatra, Tony Bennett, to Elvis, The Beatles, Supertramp, Elton John, even Led Zeppelin!! (at my request!)

Smoking is very limited on this ship...a very nice rarity these days!! And, credit to the smokers, I did not experience a single infraction of the designated smoking areas on the entire cruise.......another rarity in my experiences and travels. Read more
