Hi ya

Yes very annoying indeed... I think celebrity has done this to try and stops us in the uk seeing the offers on the US SITE after all the fuss regarding the 123 Go promotion & and the lower prices as even if you go to the bottom of the page you can't change it to the US page like you used to be able too! :mad:

If you go to the booking link on the uk page then when it takes you to the cruise selection page you can then get the my celebrity link at the top of the page!

Would like to know the official reason for this recent change if anyone knows?

For the convenience of posters, I am repeating the format to be used for cabin reports:

 

 

 

Ship: silhouette

Cabin #: 1551

Deck #: 11 penthouse deck

Class:aqua A1

Area: mid ship next to front hump!

Bed near: bathroom

Quiet?: yes very quiet

Balcony view: ok the window washing equipment was in our view but it was not a problem

Balcony size:

Wind a problem?: no

Soot a problem?: no

Problems/comments: loved to location of the cabin regarding the stairs/lifts and the Persian gardens

Deck - Vista

Cabin # - 8273

Class – 1B Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom w/ Veranda

Starboard or Port Side - Port

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – balcony

 

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – Very quiet entire cruise. This is a connecting stateroom (to # 8271), but Solstice way of connecting via an alcove doesn't add noise from next room but provides a bit more quiet since cabin door is recessed from hallway. Although very close & convenient to mid-ship elevators, the hallway design and partitions shielded any noise from that area.

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Excellent view all directions. We picked this stateroom since it is on the "hump" and we could see all directions without any obstructions. Also, this cabin's balcony does NOT have any portion of the Celebrity "X" on the balcony's glass.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal size for this class, but larger than we found on Eurodam (Holland America) and Carnival Freedom. Two nice reclining chairs and table (for room service, drinks, etc).

Was wind a problem? No. Nice breeze at times, but never uncomfortable.

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? At first, we thought the storage was too limited, but halfway thu the cruise, we found the storage area above the bed. That made the overall storage more than enough.

 

Any other comments? I loved the "glassed-in" shower and ample bathroom storage space. Cabin's location is very convenient to many public areas, particularly the restaurants. Also, this deck (Vista deck # 8) allowed easy walking to public areas on decks #3 - 5 and #12 & above.

Great review and really looking forward to our cruise as I have booked this cabin and your review makes it sound idea for us.
