LIVE from Celebrity Silhouette, sailing April 7th!

[sredish]

Chris, You are doing an awesome job as usual. The food presentations and creativity by the Celebrity staff are AMAZING ! I am glad the Celebrity brass noticed what a great ambassador you are and even attracting new cruisers for their line. They should give you some wonderful perks like returning your payment for the internet , offering you return visits to their restaurants and drinks to name a few.

I agree! I quickly browsed through their less than 100 posts on CC and I didn't see where they have commented on any other LIVE thread before! A comp of the Internet package...or the next cruise package comp'd...would be a great thank you for that cruise booking they picked up because of you!

 

What a great job you're doing!

[BugsyCruiser]

Loving this live report! Thanks so much for taking time to do this so we can all "cruise" with you!

 

If anyone took the beverage package, can you tell me if the coffee includes the lattes, cappuccinos etc? Thank you!

 

It includes all those goodies :)

The high speed ferry lets off passengers returning from Playa Del Carmen

 

 

 

 

[BugsyCruiser]

The lines are cast...

 

 

I think we are getting ready to push away and suddenly the gate to the shopping plaza opens, I hear a horn beeping, and...

 

 

A taxi sped up the pier to let off one last passenger, right at 4 pm

Now we are underway

 

 

Carnival Elation pushes away the same time we do

 

 

[BugsyCruiser]

So long for now Cozumel... I'll be back another day

[seadancer]

Hahaha speeding taxi and horn beeping.

I guess those stories are true from the cruise directors all these years :):)

[sredish]

The Dash of the Drunks down the dock is just about my favorite part of Cozumel! I've never seen a taxi, though!! Hahahahahaha!!

[Pamster]

Thank you for all the kind words my friends. Some more pictures from my morning exploration:

 

 

 

What's the story about this pic? Were these for sale or for decoration? My husband has a friend whose brother makes these.... who lives in FL, btw.

I will be more than happy to confirm booking with them if they need it. We booked a deck 10 cs veranda #1205

Sitting in the Alcoves reading your review Chris.....BEA-utiful pictures! Trying to figure out where I was when the picture of my husband and the girl from the spa was taken! ;)

Loving our time on the beautiful Silhouette......so glad you joined us and very happy you will join us again in December! Loved Nachi Cocum!

Over and out from the Silhouette!

[cruiserlove]

Great review Chris, makes me wish I was on another cruise already!

Just a unique art display here aboard Silhouette :)

Our current position:

 

We are en route to Grand Cayman with an eta of 10am tomorrow morning.

 

Lawn Club Grill at 8:30 this evening, but for now off to the Martini Bar! :D

[gambee]

Wait a minute, I don't think I saw any pictures of the Banana split!

bugsy4271,

 

As Celebrity is sending out emails to not show up to board to early, it looked like you had beaten the crowds. How was embarkation, as we are boarding when you get off for the TA.

Embarkation was ok. We were on board around 12:30. This will come as no shock to a lot of posters... the terminal Celebrity uses leaves much to be desired

Enjoying living vicariously through your review. Cheaper than booking a cruise!

 

I'm curious about Cellar Masters. Can you describe it?

Thank you for the answer to my question about the coffees, Chris!

Chris would it to much to ask for the wine list of the master cellars? I failed to get it...

 

Just if you happen to stumble in there.

 

Thank you :)

Comping a internet package surely would be a great gesture. Between Gambee's review and now Chris's "Live" trip report on the same ship I'm sure lots of people that normally don't sail or have not sailed Celebrity will look to in the future, myself included. I'm booked for cruises for 2013, but surely want to take a Celebrity cruise during 2014 now. I would hope that Celebirty would make a comment on Gambees review too, his deserves a nod from the big dogs too. :) Unless they already did and I missed it.

 

I've done three "Live" trip reports myself and they do take time, but they are fun to do too and I consider them as part of my own personal cruise experience.

Loving the review! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I was thinking about Nachi Cocom for our Equinox cruise in December, and now I am sure that we will do this. Great info, great pics. Thanks so much.

I feel a little late..but I just started Gambee's review. Ohmahgah. After just three entries read, I posted that he simply must become my BFF for life and I won't take no for an answer. Between him and Chris, I've found my cruise comrades. Or at least in my head they are! Ha!

[Babewho]

 

The guacamole is excellent

 

So is the grilled grouper

 

And the grilled shrimp

 

I am totally loving your blow-by-blow live review. I can't wait to get home from work every day to read the latest and greatest and to see your awesome photos. You should be a travel writer!

 

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm cruising vicariously through your posts until we get to experience the Silhouette ourselves in March, 2014.

O my gosh! I sure have a lot to catch up on. Im trying to keep up; reading Gumbee & Radio also. Loving this live review. Keep it coming. Very nice pics also. Really beautiful.
