We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik!
Drat and double drat!!
We had hoped that you would have taken the cable car to the top of the Srd to get the sunset pictures from there. Perhaps someone else will post their experiences of the ride to the top and the photo opportunities there!
Having said that - keep up the good work with your travelogue. We await each new post with baited breath!

Just loving your fantastically detailed review. We almost feel that we did make it to the cruise when we see your wonderful photographs. Can't wait for further instalments and your detailed observations as we now plan to do this trip in 2023! If you have no objections we may well use some of your information and photos in our 2023 cruise website! Keep it up. Stay safe.

Silhouette berthed in Invergordon yesterday. No foot passengers allowed ashore. Ship organised tours only. It was strange seeing a ship in port but no crew members in the local charity shops and food stores!
She will be back on 12th August.

You can see what Celebrity have done in this excellent report on the evolving situation on board Millie - think it explains the protocols involved. Thanks to @colliercruiserfor posting.

....and we are hearing reports of two cases of Covid-19 onboard Millie. Not a good omen!! So much for rigorous testing protocols!

I would hope Millennium is ready to go. As of 2 days ago, Edge had 651 crew in quarantine and 200+ onboard out of quarantine. Silhouette has taken on more crew recently but I haven't seen any numbers. Equinox has been the quiet one lately.
Equinox seems to have crewed up as one of their dancers has posted on IG that she is on Day 6 of quarantine onboard.
Apex is crewed up and is docked in Piraeus, Greece waiting to start cruising from there on 19 June.

Does anyone have information on which of Celebrity's ships are fully crewed and ready to sail?

Here are the latest positions:-
Apex – Pireas, Greece [docked]
Constellation – Argolic Gulf, Greece [drifting]
Eclipse – east of Singapore [anchored]
Edge – Fort Lauderdale [docked]
Equinox – Stirrup Cay [anchored]
Infinity – off Pireas, Greece [anchored]

Silhouette heading to Antigua to pick up crew who flew in from London. They were supposed to land on Barbados but were diverted due to volcanic ash clouds from the St Vincent eruption. This is according to Cruise Director Dan who is waiting on Antigua for his ship to arrive!.

Edge appears to have sailed for Barbados?
Here are the latest positions:-
Apex – heading for Barbados
Constellation – off coast of Greece
Eclipse – east of Singapore
Edge – heading for Barbados
Equinox – CoCoCay
Infinity – off Sicily, Italy
Millenium – off Panama City
Reflection - Barbados
Silhouette - Barbados
Solstice – off Manila, Philippines
Summit - CoCoCay
Looks like Celebrity are getting ships that they might require for the non-US market out of CDC control.
We know that Apex and Silhouette are bound for Europe once fully crewed and it looks like they are setting up Edge and Reflection to be able to follow suit if required.

Silhouette - apparently she is heading to the UK for a UK resident only cruising season with a crew that does not need to be vaccinated. CDC is going to love that!
Eh, correction! Silhouette will do six to eight day cruises out of Southampton with a fully vaccinated crew and all adult pax will require to be fully vaccinated and all under 18’s will require a negative PCR test within 72 hours of sailing,

Solstice appears to be on the way to the Philippines.
....and here is what her sister looks like in her new livery.

She’s back in her element with a brand new look!

How long does it take to change out the paint?
Not long - Eclipse has been painted and she's back out of dry dock already!

A rather forlorn looking Eclipse in Tuas dry dock, Singapore. She’s been sanded down and is ready for her new blue livery.

Many thanks for the update.
The situation going forward is beginning to look extremely confused. With the ban on all cruise ships docking in Canadian ports then Eclipse, Millenium and Solstice will have to be reassigned to new duties.
Perhaps as Eclipse and Solstice are currently in or near Singapore they will be retained in South East Asia over the next six months so that they will be there to recommence cruising to New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific for the 2021-22 high season.
Interesting that Reflection and Silhouette which are both stationed off the Bahamas are not on the list of vessels moored there which have met the stringent CDC Covid-19 Response Plan [Code Green] for vessels which are to operate out of U S waters. This may be because they are still destined for their European summer itineraries and would sail with crew only from Stateside to Amsterdam and Southampton respectively rather than fulfil their TA's with passengers and the honorous CDC protocols.
Then there is Connie. She is moored off Athens at the moment with apparently nothing on her books now until November sailings from Tampa. Will she come back Stateside or may she be destined for the ship graveyards of Turkey?
Food for thought?
Remember - stay safe, stay healthy, get the vaccines and that way we may all be back aboard our beloved ships in the not too distant future. Here's hoping!
-
Though we would do an update on where all our ladies are.
Apex, Edge, Equinox, Reflection, Silhouette and Summit are all off the Bahamas;
Constellation and Infinity are off Piraeus, Greece;
Millenium is on her own off San Diego;
Eclipse and Solstice are off Manilla, Philippines; and
Flora and XPedition are still off the Galapagos.
With the announcement of the cancellation of Edge and Constellation's European 2021 seasons we must wonder if this is the end for Connie - will she ever carry Celebrity guests again!
...and where will they deploy Edge and Captain Kate now?

We would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for your very detailed account of your holiday and those wonderful photographs.
Wish more cruisers would take the time to post a report and photographs of their adventures - it makes for more informed decision making for those who follow on future cruises.
Glad you loved Reflection - it is definitely our favourite Celebrity offering thus far.
As you are well aware we were thwarted from joining you on this trip but we hope that our dedicated cruise information website was of, at least some, use to you in your planning stages.
We replaced this cruise with a similar one on Beyond at the end of May 2023 and we will be adding lots of your information/pics to the new info website for that one! After that we are planning to circumnavigate our own island aboard Apex next September departing from Amsterdam and guess what - we are in the process of building an info website for that one too!
Keeps us out of mischief!!
