Excellent! Thank you both very much for the replies.

Thanks for the excellent review. Do you still have to take a shuttle bus from check-in to the ship?

I seem to recall a small beach near where the water taxi lets you off-maybe a 20 minute walk from the port....is this correct?

Anyone have balcony pictures of corner aft 1400 on Liberty?

I have forgotten the email address to get info on who will be the onboard entertainment for a future cruise.

I know someone has it......thanks!

Is there any gift shopping available within walking distance of either port?

Thanks so much, Aruba 76. A review of the cabin after you get back would be most appreciated- we are not sailing until the fall.

Enjoy your trip!

We are interested in a sky suite on the Silhouette-specifically 1668. Is this corner balcony like the corner afts on RC Rhapsody?

Pictures would be most appreciated!

Are sky suites eligible for the new Luminae restaurant? Any other perks that are worth the extra cost as compared to CC?

I am loving your review. From the aft outside ocean-view are you able to lean down and see in the aft balconies? We have an aft next year (2154) and were wondering how private that balcony is.

Thanks!

Are the aft balconies similar in size to RC ships? Does anyone have pictures of this particular cabin? We will be on the Silhouette.

Thank you.

Does anyone have experience with the City Stay packages? The prices on-line seem to include the cruise-can you add it on to an already booked cruise and keep the original booked price?

Also, will there be a credit given if you already have the beverage package through the 123go?

Thanks-

I always love your reviews-even though we are diamond, I learn something new from each one! One question- do you have experience cruising with kids, being Max's Mom?

Thanks for all you do.

Would anyone have any pictures of this particular cabin and/or balcony?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks to everyone for their informative replies!

We are RCL diamond and will be trying the Celebrity Silhouette in 2016 (Israel/Med).

What are the differences between the two cruiselines? We prefer aft balconies- is the C1 concierge class the way to go? Is it worth the extra cost compared to a regular Verandah? 2154 C1 is open for the cruise we want.

Thanks in advance!

Which ships are equipped with a splash area for infants and toddlers with swimming diapers?

Any speculation about Norfolk or are Bayonne and Baltimore the only two northeast ports for the summer?

Does anyone have any inside information on what ship will be home porting in Baltimore for the summer of 2015?

Are there any shops or beaches within walking distance of the pier?

Are there any beaches or shops within walking distance of the ship?

Thanks to all who have chimed in. I was hoping for coffee stations outside the Windjammer as on smaller ships, but it looks like a no go for those.

Is early morning coffee (0600-0700) available outside the Windjammer as on smaller ships or is it only available in the Cafe Promenade?

I have not been on the Explorer for many years. Do they still have the large video screen blackjack showing a dealer and then 8 seats in front of the screen?

Last August we were there and we stopped at Coconut Willies beach next to the raft area which turned out to be quite rocky. Are any of the other beaches more sandy?
