Do you know if you can connect an ipad or iphone to the tv via an hdmi cable and an adaptor? I used to do this a few years ago, but I havent been on the revamped Silhouette

The canapes in 2015 on the Eclipse were fantastic, but, aboard the Silhouette in 2019 like everything else( MDR, drinks in the classic drinks package, general decor, gym,service)they were disppointing

Weve been cruising since 2015 in concierge class and did not even realise there was a concierge! We just thought they were the same as the room attendant I have always organised our own excursions, mainly because Celebrity can not, and booked our own dining, so, I can not see what they could do for us.

Hi Londontowner I thought there were 'reclassifed' partially accessible cabins for this reason, to allow disabled folk without the need for a large turning circle , and they also included a shower ewtc I am going on Celebrity in about 2 weeks, but due to the massive difference in cost, drinks packages and drinks prices in general we booked a P&O cruise for next year with my daughter and boyfriend. We were severely dissappointed with Celebrity when they downgraded the formal night to a chic night - whats that all about - jeans and a polo!!?? They have upped there cost but downgraded the classiness! I am really looking forward the the P&O cruise in 51 weeks. It will be possibly be our last cruise with Celebrity, but, it will be a novelty as it will be the first cruise, that my wife and myself will be our own this time, without family. Interesting Thanks and good luck!

Hi I have only been crusing with Celebrity Cruises which over the years I have found fantastic for our needs. Nothing is too much for them However, recently due to the massive increase in prices, and decrease in their services/food etc we have decied to have a look at P&O. I find it infuriating that P&O will not let you book a cruise with them online. The least they could do is allow disabled cruisers the facility to browse to see what ships and rooms are available before they have to make the dreaded phonecall , and they are only open a limited time. I think it is very substandard of them I eventually got through to P&O on the phone and it took the staff member over an hour just to find what rooms were available for various cruises, and then I had to hang up to contact other members of our party to re confirm different rooms. Days later and due to the inaccessibility of P&O's booking system, we still have not booked a cruise!! Anyone else, who doesn't need an accessible rooms can not only find what rooms are available, but, amazingly, they can also book their entire holiday online, but we can not! Rant over! Thanks

Ceelbrity sent me details of the drinks packages a couple of days ago: "I have attached our most recent Beverage Package flyer which details the drinks that you will have included. You can get any drink at the Martini Bar, however the Martini's are not covered by the Classic Package. You would have to pay the additional cost of anything over $10 per drinks plus the additional 20% bar gratuities" I wonder if any wines from the Cellar Masters wine bar are included?

Perhaps they needn't be accessible, but, it may be in their own interests to may it more accessible if they continue to have tours of various parts of their ship, then it could attract wheelchair user - the value of 'the purple pound'. Also it would be more inclusive for prospective wheelchair using staff

Well in the past , the tour of the kitchens used the lift. I was very suprised that the present tour did not

Thanks for the invaluable info. We have always stayed close to the port as it is always our first time to that specific area. Normally a cafe is fine or a short tour. When there is a long tour with much talking, after half an hour I feel ever so sleepy! We went to the Norwegian Fjords too and managed to bok a Rib ride which was great This time we are taking an electric wheelchair with wobbly front wheels, as against in the past we have taken a scooter which is quite different but not as manoeuvrable

When we went to the Baltics in 2015, there were quite a few tours/excursions including onboard tours that were suitable for us. Recently, I was really surprised that the ship tour they offered was not suitable. It is a ship tour, couldn't they include a lift as qwell as stairs ? That tour is surely operated by Celebrity isnt it?! They boast that cruising is "An Unrivaled Cruise Vacation for Each and Every Guest", well, I'm afraid that just isnt the case, as this time there is a lack of wheelchair excursions, onboard and offboard!

I agree, they have had me waiting for months for their email response, and they just keep saying they are working away at it

Sorry of course! Vigo Spain Porto (Leixoes) Portugal La Coruna Spain Bilbao Spain Bordeaux(la Rochelle)France Paris (Le Havre) France Thanks

Hi We booked our 3rd Celebrity cruise last year, but, were only recently told that out of all the shore excursions available, there was not one excursion that was suitable for a wheelchair user! Has anyone else experienced this? Even the ship tours were not suitable! We have been on excursions with them before on previous cruises They have told me they are looking into this, but we leave in May, so I am quite annoyed with them Thanks

I have been on it a couple of time, you are not missing much, it's too glitchy and I would rather paint the porch!
