The Celebrity Century, a review and a tour.  Ship dailies, menus, pictures, and comments. 

 What is the ship really like?  There are many reviews of the ship on some of the travel sites and there are maps and some pictures on the Celebrity site.  We have attempted to combine the best of these other sites with links and add our personal views to give the viewer a comprehensive review of the ship.  After building our site on the Veendam and getting quite a bit of positive feedback, we couldn't resist doing a second site for the Century, our second cruise ship.  Why Celebrity when our other site raves about how great Holland America is?  To paraphrase the Godfather "Celebrity gave us an offer we couldn't refuse" when we started pricing a second cruise.  We were not disappointed (and we will be discussing this in a lot more detail in subsequent pages!)

We have gathered cruise memorabilia, menus, and as many pictures as we could take of the ship.  We also took numerous pictures of the crew and our shore excursions.  And of course, with a site like this, you will get a full run down of our likes and dislikes regarding the ship, the food, and our cruise.

This also gives me a chance to do a head-to-head comparison of the Veendam and the Century.  The Century weighs in a bit heavier (i.e. more passengers) but the Veendam has the hundred year heritage of Holland America.  It is an interesting comparison!
