Celebrity Silhouette

Is the Retreat Sundeck on deck 16 accessible to handicap guests?  I see where the elevators go to deck 15 only. 

During Celebrities Revolution upgrade, the Equinox was not completed during drydock. Is there any plans to finish anytime soon?

Can Royal Suite guests dine in Blu?

Cheers from the martini bar. Two more cruises just booked with future cruises. Back to back at the beginning of November on the Equinox.

We are sailing Equinox on November 16. Will we see you there? This will be our 6th cruise on her. Love it!! :cool:

Maybe it's just me, but I kinda think that a $145 Tommy Bahama's shirt on a guy is pretty chic. And appropriate for chic night.

You are definitely not alone. A Tommy is more than appropriate for a 'vacation' cruise during 'Chic' nights. Personally I would be more involved in what I was eating and who I was talking to than fretting about what folks are wearing.

Is the butler assigned to only one cabin or do they have multiple cabins to service?

Your best bet is to print them off from your 'Guest Ticket Booklet' that is available on the Celebrity website, or it is emailed to you. The luggage tag is on page 15 of the booklet. You only need to print that page as many times as needed.

The Evacuation sign on the cabin doors is for a crew emergency excersize. We had this done on our last Celebrity cruise.

Norris, You've probably already been informed but I wanted to point out that the mysterious 'volcano' island you passed on your way to St. Kitts was Nevis.

Heading out on Silhouette March 27th. Been on her 3 times and love the 's' class ships. Looking forward to your experience and views as a first time Celebrity cruiser.

Did you know that this is for September 2015? Our situation concerns our October 2016 cruise.

We have done B2Bs when sailing the Caribbean. When a ship does the Western 7 day itinerary and follows up with an Eastern 7 day itinerary, a B2B becomes one long 14 day cruise. There is no one booking for a B2B. These are two SEPERATE bookings which you can do at the same time with your TA who can try (not always possible) to get you the same cabin for both cruises.

Thanks for the review. Very informative. Sailing Connie in November. Hope she stays like you've described. Did notice on our itinerary that our ports of call are the same with the exception of a stop at St. Maarten and have only three sea days.

We are on Eclipse March 29th. Your comments are very encouraging although we fully expect to enjoy our cruise.

Food is always a point of preference. You will see as many 'good' reviews as 'bad' reviews on quality and quantity. I for one have never had any issue with cruise food. If I find something I don't want or don't like, I get something else. To be honest, I don't spend alot of time in 5 star restaurants. Don't worry about the food and enjoy your cruise.:)

Sure...... you're going to to get evil stares. There are folks out there who enjoy giving evil stares for anything. Let 'em stew in their own juices and wear what you feel is appropriate. Just enjoy your cruise and don't worry about those 'who do no wrong'.

We had gone beyond our 140 when we found out about crystal blocks. I was told you got a block with the ship you were on when you got the 140. I thought we achieved that on the Independance so when I emailed C&A I stated that we were on the Indy and never got a block. One week later we got our block in the mail for the Freedom. After checking I found out we were indeed on the Freedom at 140. I couldn't have asked for better service.

Cruising is a vacation 'OPTION'. There are many possibilities out there to enjoy your free time. Research your options and select what is best for you and your family. I have been cruising for many years because I love it. I have experianced the times when cruise lines offered more goodies for the cruise fare and I have watched as cruise lines have evolved into what we have today. I fully expect things to continue to change and I will adapt to those changes and still love cruising.

There is a rumor that Liberty has them' date=' can someone please confirm ??[/quote']

 

Just got off Liberty last Saturday. She does not have the machines.

 

I have heard that only a few ships have the free style machines but RCCL plans on adding them to one or two ships per month. Is there anywhere to get an up-to-date list of the ships that have them?

FYI - Seattle's Best is a wholly owned subsidary of Starbucks. As an old grunt veteran I am used to 'field' coffee strained thru an old sock and heated on a jeep engine. I won't complain if it's one brand or the other. We once had a mess cook leave a Brillo pad in the coffee urn after cleaning it. It was said that the coffee was outstanding that day.

Concerning the Consierge Lounge/Wonderland. I thought originally the Consierge Lounges on RCCL were for suite guests and the Diamond Lounges were for loyalty members, D, D+. Now with the creation of the Suite Lounge on deck 17 for suite guests, that would eliminate the Conierge Loungs. I feel that the ongoing debate about who should be allowed to partake of the lounges is pretty cut and dried. Suite guests and Loyalty guests are apples and oranges. RCCL is catering to each group by providing a seperate area just for them. If you are loyal over time and many cruises, you get the Diamond lounge and all its perks. If you paid a lot of money for a suite, even if it is your first cruise, then you get the Suite Lounge and all its perks.

Yup...we never got one for 140 nor 210 also.......Oh well...life goes on....:D

We discovered this perk after we bypassed our 140 mark. The following is our response from C&A:

Actually, it's located forward. The solarium looks out over the bow.

Not sure what ship you were on, but the Solerium Cafe/Samba Grill is located at the aft overlooking the stern. Check out the deck plans for Oasis/Allure of the Seas.
