Chris,
I noticed that the last minute passengers don't seem to have any sense of urgency and are strolling to the ship. They may not be so lucky next time.

Is it your choice not to eat in the MDR ? I know that your are trying other specialty restaurants that require a cover charge, but is your main restaurant Blu because of Aqua Class ?

Did you buy one of these to take home, too, like the rum cake? ROFL!!!

[quote name='Bugsy4271']Linda pricing is similar to Oasis class, maybe just a bit more as Celebrity offers Aqua Class and Concierge Class, which aren't on Oasis and Allure[/quote]
Thanks for letting me know & I feel it would be worth the extra for what the ship offers, I was on the Allure & I'm glad I had a chance to be on it, but I do prefer a smaller ship. Keep enjoying your cruise:):cool::cool: Linda

I was one of those passengers last year a couple of times in Alaska :D. Once I even left the ship with only 1/2 hour left before anchor was pulled and still made it back. I needed to mail a post card.:p

I guess Blu is considered the MDR for Aqua Class. I could dine in the MDR if I wanted to but just by personal choice I don't, Sali. Doesn't mean the food isn't good there but with Blu and the specialty restaurants there's no need to.

That will probably be it for tonight my friends. Want to get some sleep before we arrive in Labadee tomorrow :)

Thanks for tuning in everyone and goodnight from Celebrity Silhouette

I am glad you enjoyed the banana split!

Looks like you had a yummy dinner.

Wahoo, I'm glad I'll be in your spot in two more days....Errrr since its about midnight..guess its one more day! :) It's going to be tough to live up to your "Live" trip report though. There is no way I'll have the picture quality and food porn you and Sir Gambee have. But I'll press on. :D Edited April 12, 2013 by MrFunInTheSun

[quote name='BonTexasNY'][COLOR=darkorchid][B]I just found Bugsy's review yesterday. Where have I been? Now there's a triple threat getting work done. Yours, Radio's and Gambee's. All excellent and all taking time away from well....unimportant things, right??[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkorchid][B]Keep it up and continued smooth sails. Gorgeous pictures, wonderful commentary. I'm a fan![/B][/COLOR][/quote]

OK, so where is Radio's thread????????

Finally got a chance to catch up! Great review, Chris! I think your review has convinced me to try Celebrity sometime soon, so add me to your list of potential bookings from your review! Edited April 12, 2013 by perfect match

I thought a while back I read some one say that they wouldn't try Celebrity because of their 'smoking policy'. Do you know what there 'smoking policy' is? As I have severe environmental allergies / sensitivities and have big breathing issues around smoke and smokers from the residue on them. The ship looks wonderful but their 'smoking policy' would be the deciding factor on whether or not I could sail with them.
Thanks
Joanne

[B][COLOR=#9932cc]Does Celebrity have the same "shopping frenzy" as RCI has? Tables overloaded with $10 bargains? People shoving and yanking stuff off tables like they were true finds? Just MHO. I am totally loving this review. Back to our regularly scheduled program![/COLOR][/B]

Joanne if memory serves me correctly I did see a few smoking at the sunset bar but nowhere else. I will get you official word on what their smoking policy is

Have not witnessed the "shopping frenzy" at all on this ship

Good morning my friends and welcome to day six of LIVE from Celebrity Silhouette! We will be arriving in Labadee at 10 am for our beach day and I have a hillside cabana at Nellie's Beach reserved for the day and a few friends will be joining me. It's another bright sunny morning and it looks to be another great day here... the weather has been wonderful this cruise.
