Hi, could someone please help?

How do I contact Jack or Sam on social media?

I have received my email with the PCR link , but my husband hasn’t. 
I have tried phoning Celebrity numerous times , but I have finally  given up .

You need to use Facebook or Twitter and then direct message from those platforms. Hope that helps.

Does your husband have a separate email lodged with Celebrity ? My husband received his own email with link to PCR test

Yes, he has his own account with separate email. I finally managed to speak to someone and they are going to send out email.

it would be nice to get it all booked up, one less thing to worry about!

I had the same problem, both had our own email accounts registered, my husband received his email and I didn’t. Hopefully you have it sorted now, I rang Celebrity UK and they sorted mine immediately.

Hi all on board!

 

How is...

 

the food

the weather

the service 

the drinks

anything!!!

 

Please let those of us who hope to cruise in the near future know how your cruise was/is...

 

Thank you!

Are we getting excited Chemmo? Lol

There’s a tad of the same here and keep looking at this website to help curtail the excitement!

I have it on good authority that everyone on the 14th of August sailing will pass their Covid tests and the weather will be exceptionally warm for our circumnavigation of the United Kingdom.

Our cruise isn’t until September but I was really hoping for some feedback on speciality restaurants, bars, entertainment etc...

 

swjumbo, as you are on board before us the baton is in your hands...

Just off Silhouette this morning and I'm still hungover!

 

Last night's entertainment in the Grand Foyer was the best I've ever experienced. They must have had all the live acts on board they one after the other and then all together at the end. Finished at 12, but the party continued i the Sky lounger after.

 

Lewis the CD was excellent and promised they would go all out to make it a night to remember.

 

Masks are worn when walking about but once you have a drink in hand they come off. Admittedly i forgot to put it back on when I went to the toilet.

 

Loads of space in the Oceanview cafe and MDR. The new outdoor furniture up at the Sunset bar is really nice and a welcome addition as they have removed the grass on each side to extend the seating.

We thoroughly enjoyed the last evening of our eight night cruise on board Silhouette.  As you say, the musical extravaganza held in the Grand Foyer was the most exhilarating experience. The musicians all seemed to be enjoying it as much as the guests. It was most definitely a night to remember !!


Hope you enjoyed your cruise as much we did ours.

6 August sailing

Check in: quick and easy under 30 minutes from arrival to bring in cabin.

Plea from the shore staff: please have all documents (set sail pass, test results and vaccination certificate) printed out not just on your phone. They have to scan each document and connection is poor at the port it is much quicker from paper.

Main dining: you can only share a table with people from your own party - very disappointed with that as sharing tables is a big part of cruising for us.

Cabin: great bed. 24 hangers real ones not those where you have fit the hangers onto rings. Bath robes new style very soft.

Sky Lounge and Spa pool - lots of rocking chairs.

Deck: chairs spaced out in pairs.

Internet: easy to set up, time will tell how fast / slow it is.

Overall: Ship clean and smart looking. Not huge changes as expected most money spent on new cabins, suite facilities.

Time now 17.45 sat on balcony waiting to sail.

Enjoy. We felt it was a great cruise, enjoyed the space and Hubby enjoyed it so much we booked another cruise for next year while on board!

Are people taking Dinner jackets and long dresses

There were quite a few people in DJs and long dresses, lots of men wearing suits too. We find the Brits tend to dress up when the occasion presents. Having said that there were those men that were smart chic but no jacket. Women ranged from long dresses to evening chic (I.e most things go!).
