Celebrity Cruises

We did not try Celebrity until they refitted Celebrity Century and offered the ship for short cruises.  Taking a short cruise on any given cruise line is a great way to try them out and see if they are a good fit for you.  In our case we found Celebrity to be a bit more upscale and more to our liking.  Each line has signature elements that are not duplicated between lines, areas they excel in.  On Celebrity, for us, the appeal was their Concierge Class service which started about the time we began cruising with them.
