Golfwife1 Posted February 9, 2017 #651 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Not sure if you are a regular wine buyer at home? So glad you shipped your beauties! Keep the empty bottles and take them to a local wine guy (wine shop or wine buyer for large grocery store who has access to all distributors) to see if they can bring in more (or something very similar). P.S. My cruise is 23 days out. I have not forgotten my promise to drink espresso every day - just for you! (And something stronger?) Thanks for the update.

Kimberly Oh I think it's safe to assume I'm a regular wine buyer at home. :p I didn't think about trying to get a local wine person to order from them. I know I can order directly from their website. Just have to factor in some hefty shipping charges. The wine itself wasn't too expensive though, so it would be worth it occasionally, especially since it's an organic winery. Appreciate the suggestion. You are sooooo close to your cruise, so exciting!! Really looking forward to hearing about it and will appreciate all those espressos and wine that you're going to drink in my honor. Or anything awesome from the World Bar would be nice also. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasset Posted February 11, 2017 #653 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Great review! We are on the April E/B TA on Silhouette and your review upped our anticipation. How did you learn of the beverage package discount? We will be buying the premium. One TA past we saw it at 10% discount on the Celebrity site, but haven't seen anything yet.

Rare hmorrow Posted February 11, 2017 #654 Share Posted February 11, 2017 So we started waddling around and came upon this amazing Market! (which looked like it would have been an awesome place to get a bite to eat) Not sure how we could even LOOK at food again so soon, but the sights were so beautiful everywhere in the market! We did buy a few things for later from here: Otherwise just walked around with our jaws dropped! These were the biggest red peppers I have ever seen! I love the market in Barcelona. Loving your review. The transatlantic on the silhouette is one of our favorite cruises, if not THE favorite! Can hardly wait for nov 2017. Again, such a great review. Thanks for taking the time and effort. Helaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One TA past we saw it at 10% discount on the Celebrity site, but haven't seen anything yet. Thanks Hi Sasset, I do believe I got an email about it...so do watch your email! The discount came out a couple months before our cruise. I remember it stayed there for at least a month or two, and never got better or worse. Hope you get a great discount like we did...keep an eye out! Doesn't hurt to keep up with your roll call also. I often gleamed valuable info that way. So excited for you that you have yours to look forward to! You won't be getting the extra hour almost every day, but hey, no jet lag getting over there.

Lastdance Posted February 12, 2017 #657 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I have yet to do my first TA...April can't come soon enough. It is so refreshing to hear and see things from your perspective....very nice review and glad you loved it...memories to cherish! I am going to lose an hour for quite a few days, not to mention three just for flying to Miami...but I love the 16 day itinerary and we are traveling with friends we met cruising...I will have to try it the other way soon.

Thanks, will watch the emails. Also, you mentioned your husband did some karaoke. Our last cruise on the Summit in September, they turned karaoke into a competition, which was not my style. Did they make it a competition on Silhouette? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Yes he did karaoke UNTIL it became a competition. It did go from an everybody-in type situation to a competition, with the top ones going on to perform in the main auditorium.

sasset Posted February 12, 2017 #661 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thanks Tweety. I have seen them select two or three to perform in the talent show in the main showroom, but it hadn't been staged as a competition. The Summit thing was listed as a competition from the second night on. That was a new one in my experience, also when I bowed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare theopup Posted February 14, 2017 #663 Share Posted February 14, 2017 What a great review, with spectacular pictures! The Barcelona "Market Boqueria" is an amazing place.

madeph Posted March 9, 2017 #675 Share Posted March 9, 2017 In between speakers, why not check out what they are serving in the main dining room for lunch? Oh, and you can go to Guest Relations for these: Thanks for doing this! I can't wait for my trip in May. Just curious...what are in those boxes?
