This was our 6th cruise, our first on Celebrity. We enjoyed our cruise and felt it was a great value. We have cruised on
Carnival, Holland America, and Royal Caribbean. The food and service on the Century overall exceeded our expectations.
The main diningroom food and service were wonderful. Portions were larger than on other ships and were served at the
correct temperature. On the negative side, the soups were greasy and tasteless, the salad dressings were unsatisfactory.
The food and service on the Lido deck was of better quality than on other ships, better selections, and the area was
spotless. All the dishes and silverware were always clean. Service was with a smile. The grill food by the pool was better
than on other cruises, the pizza was great and could be ordered sent to the room! The midnight buffets overall had good
food. The special gala buffet was the very best quality of food- excelent!! Other buffets were similar to the other cruise lines.
The 'gourmet bites' were wonderful and such a treat! The artistic quality of the food display far exceeded the other cruise
lines.

We had an inside cabin midship. The ship was very stable throughout the cruise except for the 'gala' evening (rough
waters). The cabin was adaquate and kept spotless. The refrigerator was handy for medications and keeping drinking water
cold. The cabin had more storage space than on the other cruise lines except Carnival. The TV selection was NOT good,
very few choices and it looks as if they are trying to get you to "pay to view movies". The movies in the Cinema were good,
the timing of the movies could be better.

The shows were wonderful. They were all fast paced and well written. Super pyrotechnics (spelling?) and the vegas style
acts were fun.

The ports were alot of fun but we always injoy the ship activities just as much. The weather was great, just a little rain one
moring and a sprinkle or two later. We did not take any shore excursions, we walked every where except in St. Marrten
where we took a cab and had an island tour. We would like to return to this island again, it felt cleaner, safer, and happier
than the other ports.

We went on this cruise to relax and have some peace and quiet. The ship may be too quiet for some people, almost no
anouncments, photographers were very discreet, and poolside was quieter than on other ships. We found this very calming,
others may find it slightly boring. There were very few children on this cruise.

Quiet elegance is a good description of this ship and this cruise experience.

We would select Celebrity again!!
