Sea day as we sail towards Curacao today. About two hours ago Captain Kate advised that we were diverting course to rescue a vessel in distress with a medical emergency.

 

 

 

Just spent two hours watching the ship idle towards a stricken yacht and one of our lifeboats launch and rescue six people. I'll try and post pictures and video later if the internet speed is quick enough.

 

 

 

Everyone was rescued and all appear ok. The Celebrity staff were not too impressed when one of them tried to bring their suitcase along and basically told them to get onboard and leave everything! All credit to the staff in an emergency, they acted like true professionals.

 

 

 

Their yacht has been abandoned and is currently bobbing about next to us!

What ship are you on?

We will be on this cruise also. Have you joined the roll call and the Meet and Mingle?

Celebrity always does it up very nice. There are usually at least 3 parties going on at the same time. They give out hats, groggers and blowers and free champagne all over the ship. Music and times square countdown on deck and in atrium.

We just got off the Silhouette. They also have a daily rate something like $29. We got off ship and went into bar, had a drink and got free wi-fi there.

Just got back from the Silhouette in C2 room. We received canapes everyday and after awhile we asked if we could get cookies instead so some days we got cookies and some days we got canapes and cookies. A nice tote bag which I used every day. The bottle of sparkling wine. Nice pillows and bathrobes. The lunch in the Main Dining Room was wonderful. All in all they were nice perks but nothing fantastic. Loved our room which was right near the forward lobby elevators 1040 (10th floor) - I would request this room again.

Please let me know what are the times for the shows on the Silhouette? I heard that the last show is at 7pm so we were planning on making reservations for 8:30 dinner. Does anyone agree with this plan?
