My wife and I are closing in on 60 and have been long time HAL customers, always picking trips for destinations rather than ships.
A couple we have been fortunate enough to meet on two transatlantic HAL cruises recommended we try Celebrity, which was their favorite line.
We booked the 14-day cruise on the Century from Vancouver to Alaska and then to San Diego with stops in Seattle and 2-days in San Francisco. We were in a Sky Suite on Deck 10 with the butler service.
Century 1075 Furniture was worn out. Chairs were in bad shape. Bathroom sink was cracked. The balcony was excellent along with the balcony furniture. The binoculars inthe room did not work. Once lenz would not focus. One evening on a 14-day trip the toilets on our side of the hallway did not work forcing passengers to go up to deck 11 to use a toilet.
1075 Sky Suite was in midships making it easy to get to dining venues and entertainment venues.
