CruisingChick Posted March 30, 2012 #201 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi all! pkexton ~ thanks for posting those photos. I had no idea what it was, very nice. Radio ~ I'm following along again too. No cruise for me for months so love cruising virtually with you. Did they welcome you aboard with a drink & do they show you the actual desserts in the MDR still ? Those were a couple of the things I liked about X. Have a great cruise & thanks so much for taking us along!:D ~ Jo ~ :) Just got off the Silhouette yesterday. They do welcome you aboard with sparkling wine, mimosa or orange juice. The desserts are not presented in the MDR. Instead they hand you a separate dessert menu after you are done with dinner.

Rare Radio Posted March 30, 2012 Author #205 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello everyone. . .During the Captains’ Noon announcement, he suggested that we are 190nm East of Cape Hatteras and traveling at about 17.5Kts. We still have 1132 nm to go until St. Thomas. Today’s weather is pleasant with sunny skies, and calm seas. The temps are around 70F, but it feels warmer. The pool decks are packed today ! Our Cruise Critic Connections meeting was well attended. It was nice to meet many of the people who have been posting in the Roll Call. The CD thinks that it might be one of the largest CC groups he has seen (185 CC Members) About 24 of us went on a Cabin Crawl after the meeting. We able to view several cabins and suites. Thank to all of the members who offered their cabin for viewing I took dozens of pics today, but here are just a few from early morning. . . More pics later. . . It’s time for news. . . Radio I walk through the Hideaway Lounge every time I go to my cabin. . . The early risers breakfast begins daily at 6AM. I was able to have a nice Café Americano while at the Tuscan Grille. They offered a simple Continental breakfast that was very good. The Deck 14 Elevator lobby was being graced with lots of sun. . . Here is the Jet boat I would love. . .Celebrity Silhouette Rescue Craft. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecslady Posted March 30, 2012 #206 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Radio - Do you know how many Elite are on this cruise? It must not be that much if they are doing the 5-7 Elite Cocktail in Michael's Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunor Posted March 30, 2012 #216 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I really like that the Hideaway Lounge is just a few steps away from my cabin. . .so there is always coffee that is very very close. . . Hi Radio, Enjoying your review up to date, I knew you would love this ship, we have not been on the Silhouette but have been on the Equinox and Eclipse. I agree with you they are very beautiful ships, they have the WOW factor. Tell me where is the hideaway lounge you keep talking about? Enjoying every minute of your cruise and look forward to cruising along with you. Suz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCParky Posted March 30, 2012 #217 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Radio, I'm enjoying your "Live" posts. I'm travelling on the Silhouette in December when it takes the transatlantic from Rome to Ft.

Rare Radio Posted March 30, 2012 Author #220 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Here are just a few more. . . Radio The views were nice up on the Solstice Deck (14 FWD) The Sports Courts were on the same deck up front. The Solarium is spectacular.
