Try going to Deck 12, get off the elevator & see if the ping pong table is in the middle of the floor! Then stand by the auto door & watch it open & shut a hundred times while the players chase the ball! Then think about being in the stateroom right by all this noise & try to sleep! See if the sign on the floor says no playing after10:00 p.m. Then go back at10:00 p.m. & see that the sign is supposed to be on the table but it is on the floor & people are playing as usual! Why would they place a sporting item in the lobby? It is not a public area! Then they brought chairs out for waiting players! 15 nights was too much for me! I hope they sell her or fix her! What a mess she is! Try walking on wet tile in your bathroom EVERY day because the leak is from under the tile! This is the 3rd cruise in a row this room has been like this & it has been reported! The plumber just comes by, looks at it, steps in the water & says he'll report it to the super!

If you don't mind answering a couple of questions (I have a cruise booked on her in the spring), how are the pillows on the Century? We are in the concierge cabins -- do they have the same options as are available on the S Class ships -- like the body pillow and down pillows? I know you said the beds were comfy, just wondering about those pillows. Don't want to have to pack my own if I don't have to.

Also, are the hot tubs in working condition? Are they pretty much open during the daytime? Is the water actually hot?

Do they still offer blankets for sitting out on deck during the chillier weather?

What movies are they currently showing?

Do they have the pasta, sandwich, pizza and stir fry stations available in the buffet area? Any outdoor BBQ's onboard?

Have you tried Murano's? I got the 3 dinner package as we don't want to dress for formal nights.

WOW -- guess more questions popped into my head than I originally thought. Thanks in advance.

I just returned yesterday so that is why it is taking me so long to reply.

 

Pillows - There are 8 pillows on the bed. 4 regular, 2 large and 2 decorative. Way too many for such a small room. The pillows were fine.

 

Blankets - I saw people with blankets so yes, they are still offering blankets.

 

Food - Yes, they have all of the above foods. I did not see an outdoor BBQ but at they pool they have burgers and hot dogs.

 

Muranos. I did not go but my table mates went. One liked it the other did not.

 

Hot tubs - working all day and night. I did not go in so do not know how warm they were.

 

Movies - Never heard of the ones they were showing.

 

I did not think the Concierge cabin was worth it at all. Not on the Century. Save your money and just get a regular balcony cabin. The stuff that they advertise, fluffy towels, handheld shower, etc. was the same in the inside cabins. The robes are fluffier. I never had a piece of fruit delivered to my room except the first day when someone knocked on the door and handed me 3 oranges. The rooms all look the same. I paid a lot of money for that bottle of Champagne.

 

Where are you sailing in the spring?

Wish he were going to be on the Summit in February! We enjoyed hearing him last time we were on Summit.

The Century is a beautiful ship. Great service , great food but an unkind casino (I keep begging the slots to give me some respect). We are also fortunate to have great weather. If any of you out there have any doubts about this ship, don't. All I can really say is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!

Thanks for the warning. I'll limit my slot playing in March/April!

Good luck. The slots were still very addicting to me (and several others). I did see some people win so it was just my not so good luck.

Was June, the Hawaiian Ambassador and her two ukelele playing fellows aboard? Her hula and lei making classes were the best part of that cruise. The fellows give ukelele lessons.

 

We had a sky suite on deck 12 (not the one near the ping pong table) and there is a track right above the cabins. Even though there is a sign that says no jogging before 10 AM, every morning at 6 AM we were awakened by the thud, thud of joggers. We finally complained and they roped the area off, but that didn't stop it, so they stationed a crew member there in the early morning and that did work. We appreciated it.

 

We did not care for Muranos at all. Unless the menu has changed, many of the dishes came with foam on them. It's supposed to be edgy, but we found it more snotty than edgy. We were six people and dinner took 4+ hours.

Yes, June was there and I took her classes. It was great. Do you know that this is the last trip that Century will ever take to hawaii except on the transpacific? June is out of a job.

I never eat in the specialty restaurants ever since our not so good experience on the constellation. Not worth it.

I think it is great that they worked on putting a stop to the jogging. I always saw people walking up there, never jogging on this cruise. I guess some people cannot read.

I believe June was "stolen" from NCL. I am certain that she'll be offered another job right away. She is a fabulous asset to any Hawaii cruise with sea days.

 

I heard that Century will be converted to one of the European lines belonging to RCCL in 2015. It's a shame as she's a lovely ship and we find the smaller ships so much more intimate and fun.
