We have cruised annually in recent years with our teenage children and this time and on Celebrity due to the suitability of the departure from Bayonne at the time of year we were travelling to the USA from Australia.
Getting to the port of Bayonne from Chelsea Manhattan was a quite a challenge with no Manhattan cabs wanting to take us. Ended up getting the Path Train to New Jersey, and then the ...
My wife and I decided to once again take a wonderful and relaxing vacation so I booked a cruise on Celebrity. Our other two cruises were on Princess and we loved them, but we wanted a longer cruise and we were willing to try Celebrity. One of the main reasons was that the Cruise was out of NJ, which is much closer to home and did not require a flight to Fla. II booked the cruise on the ...
Embarkation. The day before we left we got an email from Celebrity that the embarkation will be delayed by an hr. to sanitize the ship as a precautionary measure. We sailed in Celebrity twice before, this our 1st embarkation from Port Liberty. Our daughter dropped us at so called cruise terminal.

The ship -- Stunning to the eye with many different venues to enjoy. Quite frankly, ...
This was only our second cruise in the last 25 years. We were celebrating 50 years of marriage. We selected Celebrity because friends recommended it; Silhouette because it is a brand new ship, having its first sailing from Newark. Boarding went well without a hitch. All crew members were friendly/polite...from the Captain on down to the stateroom stewards and all in between. The nighttime shows ...
Sailed on the Celebrity Silhouette November 30 - December 12, 2011. We were a group of 12 between 55 and 65. For several in our group this was their first cruise, for others of us this was our seventh cruise. For all of us the first time on Celebrity Silhouette. A great time had by all.
We left from Bayonne, NJ. We came from different parts of the country so the day before we stayed at the ...
