"We have sailed on Century on three previous occasions but this one was definitely the best of the four. The officers, staff and guests were all extremely friendly and this is something we have found to be unique about past Century sailings. There is something special about the ship that seems to rub off on all who sail in her." - Blyth, Dundee on 25th Sep 2009 (Celebrity Cruises)
