Just wanted to know if anybody else on this sailing got covid when they returned home? I got it a few days after leaving ship. Otherwise had a nice cruise. Would prefer no days "at sea" . Ship was older, but revamped a few years back. Still looked old with dark interiors. A lot of illnesses could circulate inside a closed air conditioned ship, not just covid. Went on a 7 day Princess cruise ...
After 22 Celebrity cruises it was an almost automatic choice.
We have always been delighted with the quality of food on Celebrity cruises. This time the food in the main dining room was mediocre at best and nowhere near what we were accustomed to. Even the speciality restaurants had lost any wow factor. As usual, all waiting staff were excellent but it must have been a challenge to stay ...
Celebrity Silhouette January 29 to February 8, 2024
Our goal was to get away from the cold northern states, and we mostly enjoyed very nice weather.
We booked this southern Caribbean cruise right after our first, very positive sailing with Celebrity. Unfortunately, this sailing was not comparable to our transatlantic on the Constellation.
Precruise:
We flew direct to FLL and stayed ...
First I want to say everyone that worked on the cruise went over and beyond our expectations. But the food in the dining room wasn't anywhere near 5 star. We were confused with 1 waiter 1 person to take wine order, 1 person for mixed drinks ect.... Never ever saw that before and made it hard to get drinks for everyone. With dinner at 6pm you won't be out by 7 for the shows. We did go the first 2 ...
We just returned from a 10 day southern and it was really not the cruise that I expected. The Summit that we were on 12/2/23 was so much better. For one, the Summit did not nickel and dime us for drinks. The up charge on the Silhouette in Jan was ridiculous. The price of wine went up 3-4.00 a glass (you can buy the entire bottle at the store for less that a glass). Even the martinis, wines and ...
This was our first Celebrity cruise, and only our fourth overall. We chose it largely based on Celebrity's reputation for service and dining. Our previous cruises have been Holland America Statendam to Alaska (1995), Norwegian EPIC to the Eastern Caribbean (2013) and Disney Magic to the Bahamas (2015). Both the NCL and Disney cruises were with our kids as a family of four. The first and and last ...
After sailing mostly on RC and experiencing Norwegian and Disney.... Celebrity was a very different experience.
Pros
Comfortable seats everyplace. Not crowded at all. Amazing food in the buffet and main dining. Great service except one area. Clean (great job by Richard maintaining our room and spaces).

Shows were ok... And got better as the nights ...
This cruse on the Silhouette was my first cruise on Celebrity Cruise Lines. I had been told the food was excellent. I found it average to poor. What was worse, unless you shelled out more money for a specialty restaurant the only options you had were the one MDR, the buffet, or a top side snack bar. I have sailed NCL and all their ships have two MDR (Same menu, different vibe), an oriental ...
We picked this cruise because it was 10 days and New Jersey schools were closed for some of the days we were cruising. We cruised with our 10 year old granddaughter, my daughter, son-in-law, my husband (78) and myself (75). We booked sunset veranda cabins that were adjoining on deck 6. I rented a scooter for my husband. Checking in was great. Luggage at the cabin - great so far. Stewart unlocked ...
We booked this cruise back in July of 2022 because we kept hearing great things about Celebrity. For the most part the service was good outside of the main dining room but quality of food was about as low as you could go, including the specialty restaurant. Fruit was hard and zero taste, meat on the buffet was always a mystery because of the amount of sauce that they used to cover it up. Fatty, ...
