We are thinking about cruising this ship. We have never been on any Celebrity cruise and want to know what they expect us to wear. Can anyone help?

I've been on the Summit, which is a bit larger than Century but I guess would have the same general atmosphere. During the day anything goes, but I found people to be generally respectful as far as covering up bikinis inside the ship (except a few teenagers). I found the dinners to be quite dressy and was very thankful I bought a black suit for my husband before we went. I wished I had brought at least one really fancy dress, like a black sequined sheath or something but I did ok with nice tea-length dresses and black hose with pumps. You'll see a lot of tuxes and gowns on formal nights, which look great but aren't necessary if you have a nice suit and dresses. Even the semi-formal nights were pretty dressy, and casual nights meant nice dockers with dress shirt; nice sundress or pantsuit for ladies. I never saw jeans or shorts in dining room- if someone doesn't want to dress up they can go to the other dining options on the ship.

We have sailed the Century and the Summit and found both to be a bit laid back. Formal nights most (there are a few who won't) respect the dress code and the other passengers. It is NOT stuffy or stuck-up by any means. Our fear was that at our age (24 & 25 when we first sailed Celebrity 4 years ago) everyone would think they were better than us. Not at all the case. You will feel right at home. Also remember that if you do not want to dress up on formal nights, alternate dining choices are always available. Enjoy your cruise. You will love Celebrity, esp. the Century!

I have been on the Century twice and going again this April. During the day the dress code is pretty laid back and we usually wore shorts. The dress code for evening meals is followed by most people. We found most to really dress on the formal nights and three of our four guys wore tuxes. We enjoyed the dressing for dinner part a lot but wouldn't have felt odd if we hadn't dressed formal. The Century is a wonderful ship and everyone makes you feel so at home. We sure didn't see or meet any stuffed shirts. You'll love it !!!
