As the Celebrity Century is registered in Valletta it does not have to show a "courtesy flag" of Malta when coming into Valletta Harbour, its home port. However, never the Maltese maritime flag but the Maltese national flag.

Secondly, the red/white flag sported on the mast meant only "Pilot on board" and has nothing to do with our national flag.
