MY sister and I sailed on the Celebrity Silhouette November 20-27, cruising the Eastern Caribbean with stops at San Juan, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. We booked Concierge Class and had a terrific veranda cabin on the tenth floor, with an extended balcony and deep overhang to protect us from rain. Big high five to my sister and our agent for recommending this particular room.
Boarding was a snap once we navigated the crazy port traffic and parking. (I wasn’t delighted, though, to find security so lax that a hundred cars were waved through the port entrance when things got backed up!!)
It was wonderful to find the extremely short line and jiffy service at the CC seapass station. That perk really pleased me! After the expected uncomfortable wait in that steamy terminal, we boarded Silhouette eager to get started.
Typical cabin but with an extended balcony and overhang due to ship design. No obstructions to view. Great view of wake, seas, sunset. VERY close to elevators, but not noisy.
Didn't experience much here, but similar to most Florida urban areas.
Stunningly beautiful, safe and fun to tour by yourself. Architecture, color and food to please.
Just roamed till we found the tram to Paradise Point, where we spent the entire day.
It did not look appealing to disembark - seven ships, 20,000+ guests, distant downtown, lots of unshaded pavement. So we did not.
