A few questions about this ship.

Is the specialty restaurant worth the cover charge ?

How is the food on the ship ?

When we did our Baltics cruise on Century this past summer, I thought the
food in the main dining room on most nights was every bit as good as the
food in the specialty resturant. There was one night when they had lamb
shanks in the dining room that I was disappointed in the food. You might
consider going that night.

I tend to like them from a service perspective. But the only one, out of
all the ships I've been on, where I though it was REALLY worth the cover
charge was on Mariner of the Seas, where the food in Chops was considerably
better than the dining room food. But I don't think RCI dining room food is
that good to begin with, so on RCI I think it's worth it.

On Century, the service will be impecible... but the food isn't that much
better IMO. The goat cheese souflee is outstanding though. That's the one
MUST TRY item.

What do they charge for drinks ? Martinis ?

We sailed on the Century prior to its renovation.
We have found the food and service on Celebrity ships to be outstanding for
the price.
Unlike some of the NCL ships. We just got off the NCL Spirit, service was
awful and food was worse in the 'free' dining areas. We spent $50 to $100 a
day for food in the cover charge restaurants.
Food on Celebrity has always been so good we rejected the cover charge
restaurants except when we were too tired to dress and so went to the Casual
Dining restaurant. Service has always been top quality there too since most
of the staff is undergoing rigorous training. We always tip at least the
amount the main dining room suggests.
We have booked 3 cruises in January, Celebrity Zenith and RCCL Enchantment
OTC and are considering the Century again in early February.

We have sailed 9 times with Celebrity and will be doing so again in
about a month. 2 of those trips were on the Century and that is the one
we will be on next month. We were on Zenith last month and as usual
found the food and service excellent. Drinks run about $6-$7 average
and the martini bar is very good. There are some daily specials for $5
and sometimes a 2 for 1 martini special.
