Celebrity Century, 4-day West Caribbean cruise Day 2 Continued

In Short:

Friday is Formal Day on board Celebrity Century and itโ€™s fun to dress up โ€“ and shame on those slackers who donโ€™t make the effort. Not that thereโ€™s many of them.

Day 2 … continued.

Friday is Formal Day on board Celebrity Century and itโ€™s fun to dressย up โ€“ and shame on those slackers who donโ€™t make the effort. Not thatย thereโ€™s many of them. Kim and I are invited to meet the Captainโ€™s Clubย Host, Chandru Advani, at the Rendezvous Bar on Deck 6 at 8.30pm for aย drink before the Captainโ€™s Table Dinner. ย Chandru has an extraordinaryย ability to remember peopleโ€™s names and faces from first glance and he is the consummate pre-dinner host. I asked him if he could give anyย tips but he just said he had a photographic memory โ€“ one night heย hosted 450 people and remembered every single personโ€™s face and name.ย Amazing. The dinner was excellent, hosted by our Hotel Director, Janย Willem Kuipers. ย None of us knew quite why we had been invited to thisย event, but one guest, Annie, has made an extraordinary 57 cruisesย since 1994, and most of them have been aboard Celebrity Century, soย she is a celebrity in her own right. The food and service wereย excellent; the Grand Dining Room is a lovely Art Deco-themed spaceย โ€“ and guess what, Australian cruisers, this friendly, character-filledย ship will operating Down Under for the 2011/12 season. Iโ€™d adviseย booking soon โ€“she ย may be the oldest ship in the Celebrity fleet butย she has a lot of character and (have I mentioned this already?) foodย and service are second to none.
