On past Xmas week cruises they have kept decorations up til January 1st.

Depends on what you´re talking about! There used to be a 4 piece à capella group and a 4 piece string quartett - both are gone for more than a year now as stated by others above. Those played randomly in the atrium. There still might be an à capella group performing in the theater as headline entertainment.

Bring back Lemon Sqeezy ! They were the best a Capella group we've seen! Think the were Swedish.

I hope you have a great cruise!

Does the PH have a hot tub on the balcony?

 

 

Yes it does. RS AND PH BOTH.

Last year there was a wedding in the library area on Equinox. There is a section on the X website that talks about weddings.

Is this the Dec 27th cruise on SIhlouette?

Yes, MC concierge and favorite MC bartender received tips.

If Milicia, (Millie) is your Michael's conceierge, she is wonderful. Will do her best to accommodate any request. One the bartender (our favorite was Alex) knows what you like he'll be sure to have for you each day. We get water there for excursions, drinks anytime and afternoon snacks. It's a lovely room and the often bring in some entertainers from the different musical groups for just suite guests to enjoy. We were on last summer when the World Cup was on and crew stopped in to watch frequently. You will love Micael's Club.

Hope Alejandro T will be back on Sil. At holiday time in December. We had him in 2012 k he was a hoot with the kids and captain A. (I can't spell his name).

1. Goat cheese soufflé in Murano.
2. Escargot in MDR.
3. Black and white cookies at cafe back on.
4. Creme brûlée in any restaurant.
5. Baked Alaska.
6. Lobster in MDR and table side prep in Murano?
7. The cappuccino the butler brings me in the morning.
8. The Bloody Mary the bartender brought to the hot tub on our balcony when we stayed in the Royal Suite.
9. Anything chocolate!

We have been on 2 New Years cruises and doing another on Silhouette this year. 1st was on Mercury and 2nd on Silhouette. If you are by the pool at midnight it can get a bit crazy. They pass out noisemakers and the little kids run and blow them etc. if your not directly near that, the pool party can be fun.

Probably not casino bar as they have to be out of port for the casino to be open.

On our B2B in July was also the venue for the Connexions party first night and 'bazaar' sale last night

 

 

For our b2b last July it was like that too. I liked the connections party there... More mingling!

Quasar has been down-sized--my guess is by a third or a half--and Future Cruise Sales now occupies the space that has been carved out of Quasar [with a full partition/its own entry]... I liked the change; Future Cruise Sales is no longer as crowded as it had been when located adjacent to Bistro On 5 and now affords more privacy when speaking with a Rep...

 

 

On which ship has this happened?

Here is what I used earlier this year:

 

Belkin BZ103050QTVL Mini Surge Protector with USB Charge Ports

I use this too. It's nice because it has outlets and 2 USB ports.

Why did a post I made here about the port of Civiteveccia get deleted?

Sometimes they run specials, 20-30-20. 20 mi. Facial, 30 min massage, 20 minute foot massage. Those are nice.

The photos did not load.

After getting new sea pass card... Meander to the boardwalk area about 1 1/2 miles from port. It is a beautiful are / promenade. Shops, gelato, even a museum (free) with interesting info on the importance of the port to history. We spent a night in Civiteveccia at the San Girogio! A beautiful hotel with a balcony over looking the sea! Great rooftop restaurant too. B2b should be no trouble.

Relax on sea days, spa, pool, a tasting, lots to do.

The nicest thing about new cruises coming out is spotting new itineraries or ones you have never noticed before. As a relatively newly retired teacher it is great to look and see what we want to do rather than what is available in August!!

 

 

I'm still teaching so have to work around school schedule.

According to my cruise planner at X headquarters - in November 2017 itineraries will be released.

Our go to Celebrity Planner is Kristy. She is personable, knowledgeable, responsive and amazing. We have booked onboard for future cruises, (twice with Ellie) transferred bookings to Kristy, asked many questions, etc. she emails promptly, calls when she says she will and she takes the time to be thorough and solves issues.

 

Last year we scheduled B2B in Europe and were unable to make payments via the web. Kristy handled each payments, called us weekly six months out and sent countless emails during a frustrating booking. She made the situation much easier.

 

Kudos to Kristy!

I think card room is on 5 on Connie. Enjoy your trip!
