Celebrity Cruises: Celebrity Century

Favorites

Best Dessert: Just about any selection from the rolling tea cart on the day Elegant Tea is offered.

Best Splurge: Cova Café di Milano is somewhat loosely styled after its Italian namesake, which opened in 1817 next to Milan's La Scala Opera House. Featuring Cova liqueurs, chocolates, and fresh pastries, it's a delightful sidewalk café-style spot to order up the best coffee on board while you polish your people-watching skills. There's a charge for the specialty coffee and Cova treats, but complimentary croissants and pastries are available in the morning and late afternoon.

Our Favorite Spot for a Nightcap: The stogie craze has all but died, and the air has cleared in Michael's Clubs, the lounges formerly devoted to cigar smoking. Now billed as piano bars, they remain quiet spaces for after-dinner cordials.

Unexpected Luxury: Penthouse suites have outdoor whirlpool tubs on their balconies.
