dutchclogs Posted February 1, 2017 #26 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I would rate X #1 followed by Princess (a close 2nd) All three are very good lines. So far on this cruise I see very little evidence of the cutbacks cited often here on CC. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Nice to hear! How do you rate Royal?

Pickels Posted February 1, 2017 #27 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yes keep the updates coming and if you get a chance to post some dailies in between cocktails it would be appreciated.

Have a fab cruise, we're on the Silhouette in about 40 days, can't wait, don't use up all the sunshine, :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Captain Funtime Posted February 1, 2017 Author #28 Share Posted February 1, 2017 We were on Allure in April for my birthday. She is currently next to us in St. Thomas. Had a great time on Allure. I will be on Empress in April. Last time on Empress was 2005 in Hurricane Katrina. Should be fun to go from Allure (BIG) to Empress (Smallest in the fleet. I find Royal to be a good product. Is that fair ? Can you tell I like to cruise [emoji41][emoji572] Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Captain Funtime Posted February 1, 2017 Author #30 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Oops.. stayed up too late but we did make it to town for lunch at a very cute little lobs place for lunch and yes drinks. The Beer Garden. Cute couple in their 70's run it by themselves. Solid food and drinks. Next time your ship calls on St. Thomas.....look them up.

Rare Captain Funtime Posted February 1, 2017 Author #31 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Celebrity still has a few special touches. Met upon return to Silhouette with an iced towel at the gangway. If I forgot to answer any questions please let me know. More soon. OUT Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellyflopchamp Posted February 1, 2017 #33 Share Posted February 1, 2017 gonna be following along. My Mother-In-Law and Father-In Law are on this cruise. If you hear a really loud whistle coming from a 74 year old man who goes by Doc, that's them. Glad to hear that the weather in St. Thomas is great for you guys.

So close to our choices Celebrity and Princess #1a and b and we loved Divina (and Poesia before) The only thing ... not a big fans of Funships. Honestly gave them 3 tries...

jb008 Posted February 3, 2017 #40 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks for posting a running review! Since you're on Silhouette now, I have a quick question for you as to what's being offered for the benefits for booking a future cruise while still on board? I presume it's the standard reduced deposit ($100pp on a 7-night?) and free upgrade to go better (2 perks for the price of 1) and maybe an obc that depends on stateroom level you book? Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare countess5 Posted February 3, 2017 #41 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Love the Silhouette! Sailed her in the Baltics last summer and heading back to the British Isles this coming summer. I have to look at who our captain was but he was the best we ever have had, his morning reports and comments were so fantastic and you could see his leadership went throughout the crew!! Enjoy your sail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseheads4ever Posted February 3, 2017 #45 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Does anyone know if the Tenors of Rock will be the entertainment when we board April 9th? Sounds like a fabulous cruise ship with a awesome staff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyt Posted February 3, 2017 #46 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Excited to find this! Just booked this cruise and ship last night after much back and forth. It will be our first on X and I just could not make up my mind about Allure which we loved and something new. We were also concerned about spring breakers so hoping 3/26 on X will not be an issues! The more details the better drinks to try, food the good the bad the ugly, shows not to miss and ENJOY you trip and thanks kindly for your time!
