We did go on the cruise, and while she wasn’t feeling well most days, she managed to avoid having to go to medical for hydration. It was a difficult cruise because it rained a lot and the scooter she was using broke down. She wasn’t well enough to do much but she enjoyed trivia and our dinners together. Since she is very limited in what she can do, cruising was a good way for her to as much or a little as she could handle. Best wishes

I did some research and it appears that the Baltic Sea is pretty calm, so I’m happy about that. Thank you for your post, and to the other positive comments about the room. I’ve now super excited for it!

Perfect, thank you

Yes I saw that, but for the two of us it’s $393. A bit too expensive for us. To do it DIY is less than half that, but more difficult to navigate.

Thanks for your response. I didn’t know it was shaded. That works well for my travel companion since she stays out of the sun. I love the sun. Are there any sunny areas on the balcony. Not a big deal, the pool area is so close by. Just wondering thanks

Thanks, that was a concern

I just read your review. Wonderful. Thanks so much. Now I can be excited for our suite instead of apprehensive!

Thanks great!! Thanks so much for your response. I did see those pictures on that site but didn’t realize it was for the same stateroom. Really glad you had no issues.

Great! Thanks so much!!

Is this on the website? I’m sailing on the silhouette 8/16. I hope it applies

Thank you. Our ship arrives at 9:30 so that cuts into our time. I’d love to do both, but might have to pick one. I love museums but also love architecture, etc. it might we a game time decision based on how fast we are able to walk of the ship

Thank you. It’s a tough choice. I want to do both but don’t want to be that person running on the pier was the ship pulls out lol

Thank you for the detailed response

We won our bid to a sunset sky suite on the Silhouette but were assigned a corner aft sky suite under the outside dining area of the buffet, below the lido deck. We were recently in a similar corner aft suite on the Eclipse and it was extremely rocky since it sat on the outer edge of the wake, so this may be an issue as well. I know this is the chance you take when you do a Move Up, but we bid on it before our experience on the Eclipse and didn’t think to withdraw our offer. Oh well… so blessed to be cruising at all, so not a complaint, more of a “heads up”. Btw it’s stateroom 2153. Anyone with any experience in that cabin, or one similarly situated? Thanks.

You are right. I should have included that information. We are docking at Frihamnen, on the Celebrity silhouette.

Our ship arrives in Stockholm at 9:30 and departs at 5. So I’m guessing that by the time we get off the ship and secure transportation it will be 10:30 before we get anywhere and would certainly want to be making our way back to the ship by 4 or so. Do we have time to visit Vasa, then have lunch and explore Gamla Stan? If we had to pick one, which should we choose? We aren’t that familiar with doing the ports DIY but we are going to try. Thanks!

Very sweet of you thank you. She is trying to enjoy her life and does not have the luxury off putting things off until she feels better, because that might not happen. All the posts here are very helpful

Thank you for your response and insight.

Thank you for your response but we canceled this cruise in favor of the Best of Scandinavia cruise

No problem, thanks for your post

We did not get the travel insurance through Celebrity because we missed the cut off which was by final payment. We will be getting insurance through Allianz, as they allow you to purchase until close to sailing. Not sure if they will cover it if it’s determined that it’s due to a pre existing condition but it’s worth a shot. Not sure if she will need to cancel first with Celebrity for them to honor it, but I’ll find out. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully she medical situation resolves and we will sail together.

Our cruise is in 20 days. My cabin mate is experiencing some medical issues and may need to cancel. I would still go on the cruise. Since our cabin was priced based on double occupancy, would I be charged the solo premium if she is unable to go and I am alone in the cabin? I called Celebrity but I couldn’t get a clear answer. Thanks

Thank you. Do you recall about how much it was? I think the possibility of needing an IV, the cost, and the question of it being covered by insurance and being billed immediately before seeking reimbursement are all factors to consider before going on board , or making the decision to cancel. When we booked this trip a while ago, this wasn’t an issue, but unfortunately it is a possibility now.

Another great idea, thanks

Thank you for your response. She will be getting her medication infusion before boarding the ship. But sometimes they make her feel run down a few days later and an IV drip helps her feel better. She is trying to plan what to do if she starts to feel unwell mid week. Her doctor has told her that she can travel as long as she is feeling up to it. It’s a one week cruise to Bermuda. While traveling for her is not ideal, I think she doesn’t want to miss out on trying to have a quality of life. Thanks to the replies on this board, I have great suggestions for her such as contacting special needs, finding out exactly what is she needs in the IV hydration and also proactively seeking guidance from the travel insurance company. Thank you and thank you to the others that have responded
