Mona-Lisa

Hello All, As some others said, I am also on the lower budget side traveler/cruiser. 100-150 USD / day / person what I can spend on a trip. But still I think being on a big ship and cruise by Antarctica you can get a glimpse of that wonderland. Seeing whales and birds on the way and enjoy the ports on those locations you are actually allowed to land. Thanks for the tip with balcony cabin. I was not sure how important is to have your own view, but yes I can imagine that the decks are crowded when there is something to see out there.

My first time trying to bid. Ship: Silhouette Sail date 6 Nov 2023 Length: 10 nights We are in prime inside and 300 usd pp was the minimum bid for consierge sunset veranda. Sounds very good deal. Especially after we managed to reprice our original reservation for 200 usd lower. I love these opportunities at Celebrity.

We are Celebrity Silhouette this November and I am looking forward to our Tobago visit as this is a rarely visited port. Looked up some YouTube videos and actually it seems they have MaxiTaxi shared shuttles to tourist destinations. I think it is a cheap island and I don't expect to pay more than few dollars to the e.g. Pigeon Point. Other thing I consider is to hire a taxi for full day island tour. I don't expect to pay more than 120-150 USD... I m sure there will be a lot of official/unofficial taxis to offer their services when the ship docks. It seems they are really fighting to attract more and more ships stop here so they appreciate any business.

Thanks for the update. I hope they won't cancel ours. We always have this trouble what to do with the luggage on debarkation day. We went to the Aventura Mall few times, but they don't have luggage storage anymore. It is less fun to do the shopping and carry all of your stuff..

Hi, We booked a similar one, debark at Port Everglades, Everglades Air boat tour which ends at MIA airport... I wonder what time we are going to arrive at the airport.. We have a late evening flight. I am thinking.. maybe we can just drop off our luggage at the airport, take the train and still explore a bit of Miami before the flight...

I enjoy reading the different comments. Maybe I am just lucky or careful enough but never considered losing my original passport during port days. Of course you can decide how to deal with this topic, based on past experience, preference etc, but in a foreign country I would not go anywhere without my original passport. More worried about being left behind as I prefer not to pay for the tours organized by the cruise line. 🙂 or to forget my own mask for diving. I wish all of you not to have any issues! BTW any experience losing the shipcard? I wonder how you deal with that...

We always take our actual passport with us wherever is our port. (EU citizens) In case you miss your ship due to any reason, you need that to board a plane to get home or to rejoin your cruise. We do have a pre-printed checklist for each cruiser, and for each port we have game in the mornings to play. Tick the items you packed. We then attach it to the wall with a magnet. 🙂 It is a basic sheet printed from excel listing items like: passport, sunscreen, phone, travel insurance, snorkel gear, towel, sunglasses, raincoat, cash, drinking bottle, any other stuff you may need.. long list. I love doing that, helps me to prepare for the day 🙂

Not about the over bed bins but the regular wardrobe. I recently noticed in a cabin review video that there are no selves at all. Only option is to hang your stuff. I was also thinking to pack a foldable store like this one. What do you guys think? For the over bad storage definitely need some foldable cubes for smaller items.

I like the question. I was trying to find it out by myself as well. Please note this is just my theory. Not speaking from experience. I think in this ship class the front inside cabins are more narrow, but a bit longer, therefore there is space for the sofa. Less space to pass by the bed. Aft inside cabins are wider, so there is only a chair to sit at the corner, no sofa. But little bit more space to walk around the bed. Any comments are welcome!

Maybe it is just the layout, as the bed being set perpendicular and there is still space to walk past to it. On Summit the inside cabin had a different layout, it was more narrow I think, but that is a different class I know.. we will see.

We had front inside cabin deck 7 on other cruise line where the bed was perpendicularly setup and we did feel a lot of movements. For few nights the ocean was really choppy. But I did enjoy that 🙂 was not disturbing at, all but I would not choose that location again. For our next cruise we have an inside mid/aft location. Deck 10. We will see how that is..

I just booked prime inside on Celebrity Silhouette Deck 10. I really hope it is not only the location but also expect it to be slightly bigger. But anyway Celebrity's inside cabin are really spacious I think. Really looking forward to the cruise. As per the cabin review videos the bathrooms looks nice size as well. Would be good to hear some recent experience though. 🙂

After checking it on the Celebrity website I find that the continental breakfast is still FREE, you only pay room service fee on other meals and beverages. Copied from the website: Does Celebrity Cruises offer room service? 24-hour room service is available any time of the day or night - simply order from the room service menu located in your stateroom (Room service fee of $9.95* applies). An 18% gratuity is additional and will automatically be added to your check. Continental breakfast room service is complimentary.
