This year we planned an Easter Break with Children and Grands to co-inside with Grand's spring break. Will age 7, Emmalyn age 7.5, and Bella age 10 along with their Parents plus Bro-in Law family including Jaron and Julia age 16 and 18 respectively. We had five cabins on rear deck Level 7. Nana & Papa had corner suite on Port and remaining 4 cabins were adjacent. This worked out fabulously as the crew opened the demising panels between each cabin so we had a open balcony 5 cabins in width. If you choose to cruise with family like this its great to incorporate this feature in your plans. (Our Awesome Travel Agent handled all of this.....)

We have cruised with Celebrity several times. With a few exceptions service was outstanding. (More Later). Since we were a crowd of 13 for dinner we made plans as soon as we boarded the boat to deal with seating in main dinning ending up with two tables across from each other which worked fine. We used Anahca in Micheal's Club to handle all the last minute logistics including two specialty dinners.... A 42nd Bday for our Son and the Chef's table which includes a great tour of the Galley operations along with a spectacular dinner and pairing. The Chef was fabulous and spent a great deal of time with us for this event, explaining the complexity of over seeing the delivery of 12,000 meals a day on the Silhouette.

Dinners in the main dining were generally good to above average. Service was excellent. By the third night the staff knew bread sticks were a hit at our table and kept us well supplied the rest of the trip. Read more
