Thanks to you Arno,

 

from all of us from the Sept 30th Connie Cruise roll call. It's always great to be able to find information from friends right here at Cruise Critic. IMHO it's often better than google!

In another thread I got some negative feedback about entertainment/ programming on the Silhouette under the current CD. I guess we got spoiled on the Reflection with Alex Y. in January/ February. Should I change back to the Reflection for our January sailing (even though Alex Y. doesn't appear to be on it right now) or are my fears unfounded?

Hard to answer this.....I guess it depends on how important

the "entertainment" is to you. What kind of fears are you

talking about? Evening shows don't mean much to me at all.

I sailed Silhouette in 2013 and had a great time.

"Fears"= lame games that we've seen for 30 years, electric slide music everywhere, nothing happening after second show except drinking and casino. Not talking so much about the main productions but the rest of the daily programming. The Reflection had unusual after-parties and productions in main areas (Society X). Lots of very hip stuff (Moroccan lounge, electronica under the stars, Mad Hatter party, etc.). The pool music was updated. It was a very nice change from the Carnival experience we had previously and we hoped that this was what all of Celebrity was like.

I have been cruising with Celebrity for 12 years and have never heard

of the events you mentioned. Mad Hatter Party? Electronica Under The

Stars? Never heard of them. Last time I sailed Reflection was Nov 2014

and don't recall either one.

 

Hopefully you will have a good time on your cruise:)....whatever the

events happen to be on Sihlouette.

Never heard of any of this, either, after many cruises with X.

Sincerely hope that you two get to enjoy great programming like I did. You both sound a bit skeptical that these happened. Trust me, I wasn't the Mad Hatter. :)

Not skeptical here....just saying that after 10 + cruises, we have never had anything like this. So if it's that important to you, I hope you're not too disappointed not to have it on your next cruise. Granted, I'm usually spending my cruises in the casino :D Hope you have a great trip, regardless of what activities they provide. I don't think you can ever go wrong on a Celebrity cruise.

TxnAquarian, you must have better luck in the casino than I do! The craps table was COLD on the Reflection. :-(

Never said I had good luck. Maybe I'm just a masochist :D

This thread seems to have taken a huge diversion. I thought it was meant as a source of info to keep cruisers up to date on the staff for the Celebrity ships.

[CruisingChick]

Maybe Arno should start a new Version 2 thread

 

Asking people to just report on current staff members.

I have suggested in past posts that this thread become a Sticky like the ones on cabins. Those interested on staff could simple go to it and see whose on board without having to go through lots of comments unrelated to on board staff. But if the powers to be want this thread to be a catch all, that's their call.

It is....I apologize for answering the question that got the thread

OFF TOPIC..........

 

It needs to go back to "Staff/Crew" list.

That's a good idea. I will second that motion.

[TxnAquarian]

Does anyone know who the CD will be on our Solstice sailing Oct 21? Right now it is Ben Powney, who I don't know. Should we expect to see him still onboard at that point?

Ben came to the Solstice in late July. He should be on in October. Rose the CC host is suppose to go to the Millie soon. I was hoping she would be on Sept. 22nd cruise with us. Any new info on the Solstice ?

[LuvCruzn4Evr]

Does anyone have an update on Jonette, CC Hostess, who was on The Century? Last I saw she was 'co-hosting' on a ship but now her name does not appear anywhere. We've sailed many ships several times and she was the only one that provided a "Welcome Back Mr. and Mrs XXXXXXX' on our door. It was just the nicest gesture ever and she was a great hostess. Hope she hasn't 'retired/resigned'!!!
