Celebrity Century Review

Additional details
There was an episode of Frazier in which Frazier and his brother Niles were talking and Niles was recounting how nice it was to eat at a good restaurant only to look for a flaw that could be further dissected. This was how I felt about our cruise on the Celebrity Century. It was the best cruise ship and line of the three that I had been on. But there were those tiny flaws to be dissected.
Let's start with the great things.
The ship is beautiful. Who could tell it is 15 years old? It is the smallest ship in size I have sailed on, but one of the prettiest. It was like an old time ocean liner. Very classy. I sailed on the Westerdam, some of those rooms jar the senses. I also liked the Andy Warhol witch painting on the wall near a stairway.
Cabin Review
Booking on a concierge class cabin, I thought the cabin would be bigger. This was the smallest cabin I have booked. I had been on the Qm2 and Westerdam. Both had similar sized Veranda cabins. This was way too small. Me and my other half are what you would call "full sized" people. It was not an easy cabin for two "full sized" people. The weird thing is the bed is curved at the end. It looks nice, but isn't so nice when your feet hang over the end. Also the beds were very low and hard to get down into and out of. They were light in weight, when I went to stow the luggage under the bed, I could easily pick it up with one hand and just put it under. The closet space for clothes was more than adequate. The bathroom was the largest of any ship yet. I loved the shower, the water pressure was terrific and the shower enclosure was a very generous size for a "full sized" person. The little settee which in the HAL and Cunard ships were love seats was way too small. The Veranda was a generous size. We liked the table.
