These vivid colors on these photos are beautiful. You have an eye for beauty.

Thanks for this helpful information.

Strange I went to manage my booking in appt and it says reservation number I typed is locked.

Thank you. Where do I find cruise docs? I am on app.

Our cruise is in less than a month. The app says must bring the original travel documents to the port. What are they talking about? The express pass? We have printed out the express pas. We still do not see luggage tags.

Yuck!😝

Our first two on Celebrity were on Zenith, followed by few cruises on Summit and Infinity. Haven’t cruised on Celebrity for over 10 years. A little concerned with one coming up on Silhouette in little less than 6 weeks as so much has changed with Celebrity since our last one with them.

It is salmon rillettes, much like French pork rillettes. Here is a simple recipe using salmon. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/salmon-rillettes-2

I leisurely went in to check in sometime in the afternoon and it automatically selected 11:30 AM for us on our cruise out of Amsterdam. Did not realize this was the earliest check in time.

I think what is happening to you on this cruise is awful.

Good idea. I remember on my very first cruise in 1990 I ordered smoked sturgeon fish with capers, minced onion, etc for breakfast and other 6 table mates asked “wow, you eat fish for breakfast?” I was thrilled they had fish for breakfast (from Tokyo). In those days most did not eat any fish let alone at breakfast.

Nice! Clean, simple presentation. No hollandaise?

That is terrible how they handle delivered bags. It this SOP for Celebrity now? Until I read this it never occurred for me to look for bags in other areas if ours go missing. I never experienced missing bags in the past. that lobster roll is more like thick sandwich roll with minimal filling. Looks awful.

Mmmm, that grilled barramundi over roasted fennels, mussels with black olive salsa look divine. I have to copy that idea.

Actually the price is very, very reasonable compared to our area. And 10-15% tip seems so reasonable much like what the tip rate here 20 years ago.

I think you are right on this or they were give lounge vouchers through their credit card.

I am with you on this. I no longer want to cruise Caribbean or out of Florida. I stopped going to those places since 2005.

Thank you for this live report esp photos of food. I am trying to learn more Greek cooking and so far those that made we really like.

I was wondering about this. So the steward can supply water kettle to make hot water? I too am from Tokyo and normally travel with my stash of green tea. As long as there is a water kettle I bring good quality Doutors one cup coffee strainer with coffee of my choice when traveling. Makes decent coffee. I also travel with packets of soy sauce because I sometimes like soy sauce over hard cook egg or poached egg and I can’t see cruise ship dining area with soy sauce for breakfast.

We are very close to you at LA/MV border.

Thank you all, very helpful.

We purchased premium beverage package and it has been over 10+ years since we were on Celebrity and don’t remember much about coffee. I remember there was a cafe on Zenith (our last Celebrity ship) and remember purchasing specialty coffee there like espresso or cappuccino. Is that what is meant by premium coffee included in this package? There seems to be a cafe on board Silhouette (Bascio?). Are all coffee drinks included in premium beverage package or do we pay individually?

Where are you going yo find out which cabins are still not taken? When I check my sailing, they seem to list one cabin per category.

I very much agree with this. The higher up person with more authority should have contacted the OP. And offer better compensation with sincere apology.
