Celebrity Century Main Dining Room - The Grand Restaurant
The Grand Restaurant
Aft on Promenade and Plaza Decks, The Grand Restaurant is the two-story main dining room on Celebrity Century. A wall of windows in Celebrity Century's Grand Restaurant provides magnificent ocean vistas as soft harp music is played.
Celebrity has a well earned reputation for fine dining, in no small part because of their nearly two decades long partnership with Master Chef Michael Roux. Many of Celebrity's top chefs trained under Roux at his Michelin starred Waterside Inn located in London. Michael Roux also provided onboard training on over 100 Celebrity cruises, and his influence on Celebrity's cuisine and dining experiences is very much evident.
Breakfast is served from 7:30am to 8:45am. Lunch is from noon to 1:30pm. Early dinner time is 6:15pm, and the late dinner is 8:45pm. For dinner, when you book your cruise you will need to choose from early or late dinner seatings. Alternatively, you can opt for Celebrity Cruises Select Time Dining which gives you the option to choose your exact dining time once onboard the ship. You can even show-up at any time during the dinner hours and you will be seated as soon as a table comes available. The wait is generally not more than a few minutes.
