[Happy Cruiser 6143]

She doesn't seem to be reading our comments as there are no responses.  I hope our excursion is not canceled as I have done no research on Tobago.

[aml3679]

I am reading everyone’s comments 

 

Last night we went to the martini bar before the show

 

The show was a magician 

 

After that, we headed to bed

 

The ship was really swaying

 

Today, we are in St Lucia, beautiful 

 

We we’re on a fun bus with unlimited rum punches, beer, and soda

 

Spent 2.5 hours at the beach - Pelican Landing 

 

$20 to rent 2 loungers and an umbrella 

 

The water was great

 

A lot of vendors selling food, drinks, and jewelry- bought a necklace and bracelet for our 10 year old granddaughter for $20

 

Did some local shopping- a magnet for me and a shot glass for my husband.

I'm glad to hear you are reading the comments.  My wish is that you would answer the questions.  Thanks.

[aml3679]

I am answering the best that I can.

 

What questions am I another answering?

 

We did not do anything in Tobago

 

Do not know who the maitre d is in Luminae 

 

Had a great time in St Lucia

 

Took an open fun bus with unlimited drinks and beach - Pilgrim

 

The water was warm and beautiful 

 

$20 for two loungers and an umbrella 

 

Bought our 10 year old granddaughter a necklace and bracelet for $20

 

Bring cash

 

There were vendors selling food, drinks, jewelry, foot massages, etc.

 

When we got back, went to the Oceanview for lunch.

 

We went to the Sunset bar so my husband could smoke a cigar and had drinks.

 

Took naps.

 

Went for dinner in Luminae.

 

 I had a cold corn soup which had shrimp and an avocado ring, delicious.

For my entree, had prosciutto wrapped chicken breast.

 

My husband had the short ribs which were fork tender.

 

Our friend had tuna which was delicious.

 

All four of us had crème brûlée for dessert.

 

After dinner we did a little window shopping and played slots.

 

The show was a comedian who was very funny.

 

After that, we called it a night.

If you get a chance, when you are in Luminae, could you see if the maitre d’ greeting you at the entrance is Laurence? She was on Silhouette in March of 2022 and we had heard rumours that she was currently on board.

 

Thanks so much.

Thanks for doing this.  We'll be back on Silhouette in April, 2024, visiting a few favorite ports and a few new that you have hit.  Tobago, St Lucia, Grenada will be new to us.  Great pics, especially the food. 🙂

Thanks for posting.  We will be on the Silhouette holiday cruise next month.  If you could take some pics of some of the public areas that would be appreciated.  Earlier you mentioned that the water in the pool was cool - has it warmed up since you left or is it still too cool for you? Did your husband bring cigars with him or did he get some on the cruise? From some of your pics it looks like the cruise is not too crowded - is that the case? Figure our holiday cruise will be busier.  Anyway, thanks for posting and keep on enjoying!

Thank you for your detailed review, could you please share more about this excursion? We have a cruise this January on Silhouette and so far none of the excursions have us interested.

 

Thank you~

Which excursion?

 

Taste of Local Rum

 

You travel in an air conditioned taxi to the proprietor 

 

They discuss the history and culture

 

You get to taste rum punch, pumpkin juice with rum, and a few more rums

 

The food varies but we had conch fritters, chicken fingers, jerk chicken, and banana pudding soaked in rum

 

They sell rum and T-shirts.  We bought 2 bottles and a T-shirt.  One bottle is for my brother in law who is keeping an eye on our cats.

 

Today was an at sea day.

 

We ate in LaPetite Chef.

 

We had a burrata salad, seafood boulibase, filet, lobster, and either rice pudding or ice cream sundaes.

 

Unfortunately, there was a medical emergency and the theatre was closed. Prayers.

 

Tomorrow, is our last sea day.  Mostly packed.

 

Eating in Murano tomorrow.

Our best excursion was in St Lucia.  Open air fun bus and beach escape.  Highly recommended.

We booked through the cruise line 

[Alabaster Cruiser]

Does anyone know about the medical event in the theater?  I know one of the shows was canceled.  We did a beach excursion in Tabago.  It basically was transportation only to Pigeon resort(?).  Talked with others who went by cab and they had payed $50 to and from.  It was a fun beach.  We ordered a $15 fish and chips.  My DH and I thought we would be splitting a fish sandwich and fries.  He came back with a out 3 lbs of freshly grilled King Mackerel , fries and a salad!  One of the better meals of our cruise.

Good to know.   We haved booked this excursion for out Nov 23rd.  We haven't done a fun bus in many years, so we're just looking to let our hair down (and we did the Piton's last November).

We have the Pigeon Point beach trip booked for Nov 24th.  Will try to remember to order the fish and chips!!   Did beach chair / umbrella come with the excursion (booked with Celebrity)?

 

[Alabaster Cruiser]

No chair or umbrella.  But the chairs were only 5 each.

Was watching and waiting for Silhouette to come in and the tracker shows her turning back out to see?  Any reason?

 

Cheers!
