Having just returned from our first Celebrity Cruise aboard the Celebrity Century and I wanted to post a review that hopefully others can benefit from it
Some background on our cruising experience. This is our 6th cruise we have taken in the last 20 years so by no means are we what you would call experts
Nor would you call us rookies either. In the past 20 years we have cruised with Royal Caribbean, Disney, Carnival and Holland (twice). We have been also fortunate enough to attain a financial level where the last 3 cruises have been at the Suite level
We booked the Celebrity Century out of Miami Florida, as we wanted to take a New Years Eve Cruise. A word of caution if you are looking to take a cruise over any New Year you will want to book very early
For example, the first week of October there were several options on several cruise lines. In the second week of October most all of these choices we gone
We left the port of Miami on December 30th 2009 and returned January 4th, 2010
The Good:
In November of 2009, Celebrity launched several "all you can drink" options. These include:
- Water
- Beer
- Frozen Drinks (margarita's; daiquiri's, etc)
- Alcohol (house alcohol)
There were four of us in our party and we purchased one water card and one beer card for the four of us. I cannot recommend these cards enough. On the water you get your choice of Evian stilled and Perrigrino Sparkling
You get bottled water at no charge at every bar, every restaurant and all day everyday. These are not the small bottles either - these are the large bottles of water all the way to the 1.5 liter size. During dinner we easily went through 5 bottles a night
The same goes for the beer card. The beer card gives you every can or bottle of beer at no charge. This includes both domestic and imports. To make the math work on a beer card you need to drink about 6 beers per day
