Xwordgal Posted December 24, 2011 #2927 Share Posted December 24, 2011 No we are not registered for that and not familiar with any of this!! What is a meet and greet exactly? What would we find there? Thanks for pointing this.. It's a great way to meet fellow travelers, who you may or may not have been corresponding with per the Roll Call. The ship will allow a private room or set aside one of the lounges or bar areas for a CC "Private Party" and very often the Captain and/or other ship officers will be in attendance. Just click on Connections info (top left) under Celebrity Cruises, or go to the little box (top right) for the same info. There's a brief description available. To find the Roll Call for the 1/5 sailing go to "Roll Calls" (Silhouette - January 5, 2012 - Cape Liberty, NJ to Caribbean), and I believe you'll be able to find your way around. Connecting to others also affords the availabilty to find out if anyone has booked private shore excursions which you might be interested in. Usually there's a minimum & maximum of people required for this. I strongly suggest that you "introduce" yourself on the May 5 sailing. As of today, there are more than 100 people registered for the party. When you indicate that you're interested and have registered, the person on our Roll Call who is heading all of this up, will add you to it. Her name is Susan. The reason you're encouraged to register, is that the ship will then send an invitation to your cabin as to when,where, etc. Happy Holidays Joann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mluzzy1 Posted December 24, 2011 #2928 Share Posted December 24, 2011 We just came in this morning from the 12/12 sailing. Anyone sailing on the Silhouette can look forward to a great cruise. Sailing out of Bayonne is such a bonus....debarked at 7:45 and home by 8:50. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't she great? Her station was table #48 and surrounding in October. Anyone know where she is now? Wonder when her contract is up? I'm cruising again 2-22-12 and sure would like to have her at my table . Did you also meet Gabriel, her asst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted December 24, 2011 #2932 Share Posted December 24, 2011 On our cruise, Bianca's assistant was John. I am not sure of when her contract is up, but when you enter the Blu restaurant the first time, just ask Orlando or Mohammed, or whoever is the current maitre'd to be seated at her station.

bob brown Posted December 24, 2011 #2933 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I don't know if it has been mentioned on these boards as yet, but congratulations to Celebrity Cruises, Captain Pagonis, and the crew of the Silhouette for achieving a perfect score of 100 on her first USPHS sanitation exam! It was conducted all day while we were at St. Thomas. The crew was expecting it back in November, upon her maiden US arrival, and was in suspense and a lot of pressure to be prepared for it until it finally happened. You could see the difference easily in the demeanor of the crew after it was over and the results posted. Well done Silhouette!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Bianca for the first time on our Mediterranean cruise on the Equinox in May. I recommended her on this Silhouette thread a while back. When we went on the Silhouette in November I asked for her and she was our waitress the whole cruise. She definitely goes above and beyond the call of duty. Her assistant was Gabriel. He is on a 2 month leave right now. Bianca said she will be moving to the Reflection when it comes out.

I know the crew in Blu were working very hard to prepare for the inspection during our cruise in November. Thank you for letting us know they acheived with a perfect score of 100!!!!!

RaptorBill Posted January 2, 2012 #2941 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have read some rave reviews from returning passengers of the hamburgers served up by the Mast Grill. I wonder how they are cooked--on a flat griddle, or are they flame broiled? I would guess the former, but I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the latter. I would guess that the Lawn Club Grill flame broils or at least electric charbroils their meats... Besides these, do they ever have a barbecue around the pool? I don't recall which cooking technique they used, but I did try to have a burger one day and discovered that Celebrity uses factory patties, so it's not safe to have them cooked anyway except well done or beyond. So I passed. Interestingly you can get Steak Tartare on board (they make it fresh) or decent burgers in the specialty restaurant "Q-Sine" (slider party) cooked they way I like it (rare to medium rare).

dmwnc1959 Posted January 8, 2012 #2949 Share Posted January 8, 2012 It would be a shame to let this thread die, it's very informative. :D All 'non-sticky' threads eventually die unless dug up from the past with a 'bump up' comment. ;) It's difficult to sort through 150 pages of unrelated conversation for user specific information that is subject to change based on itinerary, time of year, crew, etc. At that point it's best to just start new individual threads. Give it six months and all the buzz will be about the Celebrity Reflection, and Celebrity Silhouette will become just another Solstice-class that had her moment in the spot like just like her three sisters. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alenushka Posted January 16, 2012 #2950 Share Posted January 16, 2012 In the light of the tragic accident of Costa cruise ship...I am sure Celebrity only hires the best, but still, could someone tell what is known about the Captain of Silhouette ? Sorry if it was posted before...i could not find this info on the last few pages.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
