On board Celebrity Silhouette, June 11-June 25.

[cachouonacruise]

Jim recently published a beautiful and detailed review of Celebrity Silhouette, so I don't feel the need to add more information about the ship, unless you have any questions. My intent is only to post pictures about our ports of call.

 

This said, our embarkation process in Southampton was the smoothest I ever experienced. Furthermore, staff on the ship and ashore was just phenomal! 
 

We are really having a good time on Silhouette.

 

Below, some pictures fon St.Peter Port, Guersey Island!

Looking forward to this; and if you stray into photos or commentary on the Ship, food, entertainment and/or service it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest!

 

Have a great cruise.

Sincere best wishes for a fantastic cruise!

I don’t see any photos.

Shame.

Hello,

 

It was a gloriously warm and sunny day - no photos necessary.

 

Regards,

Sorry, something came up while I was typing in my opening post and I did not finish it or meant to publish it yet.

 

Note: our tour guide Annette Henry, was amazing:

Many thanks for the Guernsey photos. 
We last went in September 2016, as we had been warned in the past that even tenders have difficulty getting in, due to winds. 
You were very fortunate.

We did a tour with her a few years ago and I have to reiterated how good a tour she gave👍

Hi cachyouonacruise,
I’m due to check in tomorrow for our cruise on Silhouette for 30/07/22.
I’ve printed the PDF of our vaccine records and have screen shots. 
As we are over 75 (UK)we have records of 4 each- x2 initial vaccines and x2 boosters. 
How many do I need to upload?
Is it just the first 2? Or can I also upload one or 2 of our boosters to prove we are:
 ‘Up to date’?
Many thanks,

You are so kind to take the time to share your cruise with everyone on Cruise Critic!  So glad you are having a wonderful time.  I am still feeling down because we had to miss this cruise because of my fractured patella.  Really appreciate having a glimpse of what we are missing.

I am not a Celebrity rules specialist as they, may change from country to country.

 

What we did as Canadians, we uploaded an official Canadian Government "Covid passports" which included detailed information on our 3 covid doses each and the CPR certified test information, since we tested positive for Covid about 45 days before the cruise.

 

We also had in hand our Certificate of recovery and a copy of our certified Covid Antigen test taken two days before the cruise.

 

Boarding Silhouette was then the smoothest boarding process I ever experienced!

 

I hope this helps! 
 

Good luck!

Today was our first Irish day. The ship docked in Cobh, we drove through Cork, visited the Blarney Castle, had a lunch at the hotel with Irish signing and dancing, stopped for a photo op at Fort Charles, then for shopping at Kinsale.

 

Enjoy the pictures!

[chemmo]

Beautiful pictures!

 

Could you check the daily Today and find out if The Porch is open at lunch and if so is this every day or just port days? Looking forward to your next post.

We are on the Silhouette and just booked the Porch for lunch on one of the sea days. Didn’t notice if it was available on port days.

On the Silhouette in a couple months.  Curious who the current musicians/bands onboard are?  Realize their contacts might end before we board but curious anyway.

The Porch was opened today from12pm to 14 pm. We just missed it. Based on what I was told, I believe this is there daily schedule.

Thanks so much!
 

We really enjoyed The Porch lunchtimes last time we were on Silhouette. I had read on a Reflection post it had been closed at lunchtime and was concerned in case Silhouette had followed suit…

 

Hope you are enjoying your cruise…

How exciting to see a post from Silhouette.   Thank you for the wonderful post.    Your photos really bring back so many memories and I will be following along. 

 

Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy Silhouette - we sure did.

Dunmore East (Waterford)

 

Road trip to the exact replica of an Irish Immigrant ship: the Dunbrody. Enjoy!

 

[cachouonacruise]

Thank-you Jim, so far, the cruise, the Silhouette and its crew are fabulous, exactly like you described in your detailed and very informative reviews. 

 

Your pictures were also fabulous!

 

I am just adding pictures of our ports of calls, to complete the experience for Silhouette fans! 
 

Hope you will enjoy too!

Love all the pics. My ancestry is Scots through Ireland, have always harbored a wish to visit both countries. So much history there, and of course the gorgeous countryside.

You will have to stop by al Bacio in the afternoon and pick up some little bite size lemon tarts.   They are SO GOOD and just the right size for an afternoon snack. 

 

I would sometimes pick up 4 and it would last us 2 days.

 

We will be doing the British Isles cruise next year and really enjoying the pictures.

Thank-you very much for the tip regarding lemon tarts, I will definitely try them!
