Maronite priests up until the Second Vatican Council wore Latin-style vestments. Now they are going back more toward the Syriac vestments of their forebears, this is from the Catholic Answers website, also see the link below the answer box for pictures.

Actually there is no more than a tangential relation to the Chaldean style. The Maronite style is almost identical to the SOC/SCC, and includes the phaino ("cope"), zonouro (belt), hamnicho (stole which is either one single piece or, more commonly, two connected, similar to the Byzantine epitrachelion), amice (for a priest sometimes appareled, sometimes not, depending on the individual, but always appareled for a bishop). The cuffs are (unfortunately) optional. Bishops add the batersheel (analagous to the omophorion).

The Chaldeans (and the ACoE), OTOH, use what is almost (if not absolutely) identical to a Latin cope (including fringe on the flat hood), and a Latin-style (i.e. unconnected) stole. They do not wear the cuffs, nor (for the sake of simplicity, what I'll call) the appareled amice.

Does a Maronite priest or Monsignor have to take a vow of celibacy?

In the Maronite Catholic Church, priests are generally required to be celibate if they are ordained to the priesthood. However, married men can be ordained as priests, particularly in the Eastern Catholic tradition. Monsignors, who are typically priests elevated to a title of honor, also adhere to the celibacy norms based on their status and the rites of the Church. Therefore, while celibacy is expected for many priests, there are exceptions for married clergy within the Maronite tradition.
