Recommended cabins/cabin categories on "Century"

[grayjay]

Hi there!

We are considering a Hawaii cruise - not sure yet whether to book "Millenium" in autumn 2012 (this is a ship we know) or "Century" in spring. As we have not sailed on her before: can you please recommend either special cabins or cabin categories to choose ( or to avoid :D ) . We will surely book a balcony stateroom but can't afford a suite, so it's either Concierge or regular balcony.

So - which decks are good to choose? What about an aft cabin - differences to M-class for example? ) Where are obstructions or overhangs ? -( I just love my view of the sea! ) Are there any special cabins to look for? etc.

 

All information is helpful and appreciated. Thank you.

The best cabins on Century are the Sky Suites on Deck 12 - choose one as far forward but not the forward-most 2 suites which are odd shaped. Avoid the sunset verandas at the back of deck 12.

 

The Century is an older style ship and is subject to lots of vibration towards the aft of the ship when maneuvering at port or at sea. This can be avoided a bit by avoiding the aft. The vibration is caused largely by the propeller shaft, something the rest of Celebrity's current fleet doesn't have as the rest of the ships use the more modern azipod design.

The aft cabin balconies above the buffet are in full view of everyone sitting on the back deck.
