MalteseMama2 Posted July 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We are looking at booking a cruise on the Celebrity Silhouette. Does anyone know what perks we can expect as Diamond + on Royal? What loyalty level would that be on Celebrity? Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaliMakai Posted July 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Sillouete was the last ship we sailed on and it is a beautiful ship. I am not brand loyal to any line, but I have to say the food and service is awesome. Thy are a cut above other lines in those areas. They honored my Platinum status from RCCl.

Rare little britain Posted July 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The two loyalty programmes are separate so your nights on X will not add to your C&A total, but you will receive the Ellie level perks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted July 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2018 As you can see, the Elite benefits are very similar to Diamond. We specifically waited to hit Diamond before trying Celebrity and were quite pleased. We now have our second Celebrity cruise booked for next year two days after disembarking a Trans Atlantic on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalteseMama2 Posted July 28, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Thank you for all the info! Happy to hear the positive feelings for Silhouette. We are looking at her because she checks a lot of boxes for us: Southern Caribbean, leaving from FL, March 2020 sailings, Diamond + status honored.

Hypo Posted July 28, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2018 You must call Celebrity Captains Club with the information as to your RCCL Crown and Anchor numbers/Diamond + info. They will issue the appropriate Captains Club numbers for your membership in Captains Club. You will then use those new numbers to receive the proper acknowledgement of your Celebrity status.

Also, if you enjoy suites, they're a little smaller than Royal's but they're better value with their all inclusive perks. Silhouette is a great ship.

They're S1 is about the size of a Royal JS but you get all the suite amenities. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenSeas1492 Posted July 28, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Haven’t been on the Silhouette, but our last several sailings have been on X, and we were extremely pleased with food, service, accommodations, and the ships in general. Like a previous poster said, you won’t see bumper cars, zip lines, etc. Most of the cruises we have taken seem to cater to an older crowd and are more laid back than Royal.

sjb317 Posted July 28, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Royal is usually my first choice but we enjoy Celebrity too. I think the two lines are more alike than different but there are advantages to each. I prefer Royal’s MDR food over Celebrity’s but I like the buffet on Celebrity more.😀 We also prefer the DL/CL to the Captain’s Club. Our next Celebrity cruise includes drink packages so doubtful we will even go to the cocktail hours for Captain’s Club. Celebrity offers some nice promotions at various times so if I can get a good deal on Celebrity for an itinerary I want, then we’ll book with Celebrity.

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted July 28, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Regarding the call to setup your Captain's Club number, I don't think it is necessary anymore after the recent updating of the Celebrity and Royal online accounts. The other day, I went to create a Celebrity account for the first time. After filling in the appropriate fields with the same info used for my Royal account, my Celebrity account was created, my number was assigned, and my level was automatically made Select (equivalent to my Emerald status). On my Royal Caribbean account, my Captain's Club number was automatically being shown at the bottom of my Settings page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted July 28, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I was looking at the suites on the websit and thought they looked small. Thank you for confirming that for me. We normally do grand suites on rccl, perks are really great on celebrity , suite restaurant on all ships , food and service there were excellent , there suite lounge micheals has free drinks from early morning to midnight . We were on summit and sky suite was very small , I know they are bigger on the newer ships, buffet was way better than rccl. Problem is entertainment.

boscobeans Posted July 28, 2018 #23 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The X internet perk is much better for us than the RCCL. We use just for emails and to check in with the house sitter. You get an hour and a half EACH and you don't have to use it in one day. We almost always do 12 day cruises and always get 2 loads of laundry done, saves packing. If we bring any type of dressy wear the 2 garments free is great. bosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 28, 2018 #24 Share Posted July 28, 2018 After 25+ cruises with RCI we were excited to try X Eclipse (we're D+ so we were Elite). We just returned from the May28-June7 Ireland, Iceland & Scotland. We loved the itinerary, ship was beautiful, service and food excellent (we ate most meals in the Oceanview Cafe) and had a nicely located AquaSuite #1552 that included internet and drink package as our chosen two perks. However, the entertainment was poor and actually we ended up being bored to death.....even though we're very low key cruiser's and it doesn't take "much" to entertain us day or night or keep us busy....we ended up playing Scrabble in our cabin often...especially on those sea days...nothing to do and what was going on was a $'s and didn't appeal to us. Glad we tried but it's back to RCI for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were considering celebrity for the first time next year and as D+ would be Elite so was very interested in your comments and the lack of entertainment has pursuaded me to look at another RC cruise.
