We had a wonderful time on our 10-day cruise!! Eddy Jenkins was an awesome cruise director, and the entire staff was friendly and anxious to see that we had a good time and enjoyed good service! The rooms were cleaned twice daily, the food was abundant and delicious, and the desserts were "to die for." We enjoyed all of the ports visited, especially Antigua and St. Maarten. The entertainment ...
Just back from a 4 night cruise in a corner aft Sunset Sky Suite on Silhouette. We are Elite Plus but had not sailed since Covid and were a bit nervous because of all the Celebrity cutbacks and negative comments here. I am happy to report that Celebrity exceeded our expectations and we had an amazing cruise. We booked two more cruises while onboard. Here are some of our ...
Our first cruise in 30 years and had a great experience overall. We were dropped off at the port terminal and an attendant checked our bags immediate. We went through check-in with only a 5 minute wait and were in our stateroom within 15 minutes of arriving at the port.
We had fairly calm seas the entire trip and the cooler weather leaving Fort Lauderdale soon turned to warmer Caribbean ...
My first Celebrity cruise!
For reference, I've sailed several times on Carnival (never again), Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian. Went on my first Norwegian cruise back in June and loved it so much I booked several more.
...and then came this Celebrity cruise.
EMBARKATION - what? Ten minutes? If even? SPEEDIEST EMBARKATION EVER.
CABIN - a surprise upgrade was awesome to get. Balcony ...
We had a great time on our Silhouette cruise, our first on Celebrity after 16 on 4 other lines, mostly Royal Caribbean. There were many positives but I first want to comment on the crew - the Silhouette crew was hands down the friendliest we have ever sailed with. Everyone we came in contact with had a smile and a happy greeting for us; main dining staff were great and very efficient, buffet ...
This cruise was our 7th on Celebrity and 40th overall. We prefer Celebrity because of the older clientele and the amenities that came with the booking. This included over $500 in on-board credit, complimentary wi-fi, and gratuities. Both of us are in our mid-70s and very fit for our ages. This allows us to use the stairs and avoid the often crowded elevators and walk throughout the port areas ...
Sailed on Celebrity Silhouette to southern Caribbean in January 2024. Stayed in a Sky Suite which included the Retreat experience. This made our cruise REALLY special! Luminae restaurant for breakfast and dinner as well as sea days was wonderful. Staff would get items that were not on the menu. Our suite steward had our room cleaned perfectly twice a day. The Retreat Lounge was so exclusive ...
In the pre-covid days we had a very nice Mediterranean Cruise on Celebrity Summit. It was one of their older ships but was in fine fettle, the crew were great, food and entertainment fine and the kids club was used by our (then) 6 year old granddaughter. So we decided to book our first "holiday" cruise - over Xmas and New Years - for 2020. Well, needless to say, that didn't happen. We used the ...
We got to Key West but couldn’t dock as it was too windy. Nassau was cancelled completely due to 40mph winds and rain. Celebrity took the ship all the way to Cozumel and back. We all received OBC for the missed port fee taxes. Plus the activities and entertainment were really pushed up a notch. So much to see and do! I averaged over 14,000 steps a day and never went to the gym. Every where we went ...
Boarding and First Impressions:
Embarking on the Celebrity Silhouette was a bit of a waiting game due to weather delays at Port Everglades, resulting in a two-hour postponement. However, the actual boarding process was commendably efficient, setting a positive tone despite the initial setback.
