LIVE from Celebrity Silhouette, sailing April 7th!

[BugsyCruiser]

[quote name='Newbie Cruiser 2010']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

Here you go Joanne. Hope this helps:

Our trip from Falmouth to here has had the roughest seas by far but the ship and passengers have handled it well

Where are the rough sea :confused: :D
With 45 ft waves the s- class is fine

[seadancer]

Exactly

At least the shipped rocked :) that's one of the things I miss about the smaller ships. That the big ships don't seem to have much of. Edited April 12, 2013 by seadancer

Well like I said it was the roughest we've had on this cruise. Enough to rock you to sleep all night long... ;)

The locals are out on the water this morning

We had some local fishers get too close to ship. The Captain voiced his displeasure by blowing the ship's horn which got them to back off

A couple of birds decided to hitch a ride and enjoy the scenery ;)

 

[BugsyCruiser]

The workers are preparing for our arrival

 

It's time to head ashore my friends and yes it's a beautiful day. About 80 degrees, sunny, and a nice breeze.

 

Thanks for tuning in everyone, see you later today :)

[sha88]

Hey, Chris, thanks for the pictures of Labadee. keep them coming. We missed that port a few years ago due to Hurricane Noel and still have not had a chance to go back. Great Live Review.

 

See you next April on the Allure!

Back from a relaxing day in Labadee :) Many people headed ashore this morning

 

Love the color of the water here

 

The view from our hillside cabana is awesome

 

Brenda and Ruth

[BugsyCruiser]

The color of the water is amazing IMHO

 

 

Bill, Rosie, and Lisa thought they would sneak up on us but we caught them red handed :D ;)

 

Fresh fruit plates were brought to our cabana

[MrFunInTheSun]

Great pictures of your day. I agree the water looks beautiful!

[BugsyCruiser]

The buffet lunch is served from 12-2 pm and very good

 

Rita and Ron, who also were kind enough to join me at the cabana

 

Here's Brenda and Ruth again :D

It's been another wonderful day in the Caribbean aboard Celebrity Silhouette :)

Be back later my friends!

[midwestchick]

Ahhhhh......the color of the water. That's what I like so well about the Caribbean. :D I love the pictures of the ship....she look mammoth though.

I hope I'm able to handle being on a ship that large. :eek: :confused:

[micmacmissy]

Ahh...I love Labadee...looks like you had a great day there!

 

The Silhouette looks enormous on that dock! Is it bigger than the Royal Freedom class ships? How many passengers are onboard this week?

 

As I sit here trying to motivate myself to go make dinner, I'm so envious of the wonderful dinner options you have ahead of you!

[midwestchick]

I'll be glad when his cruise is over ;) and gambee has finished his report...lol. I'm spending way too much time on the computer this week. :eek: :eek:

Silhouette is actually about 30 thousand tons smaller than Royal's Freedom class ships. We have 2850 passengers on board and about 1300 crew

It's almost time to depart Labadee...

Isn't that full capacity? How crowded does it feel? We had 600 and some on Azamara last year so I'm a little worried. I booked our Med cruise for this year because of the itinerary and secondly because Celebrity had good reviews.
