We were in cabin 6203 on the Equinox(port-midship) directly above Bistro on Five. Every night at 3:45 am the door would slam and crew would be moving carts full of glassware.

Very loud!!

Tip your server directly with cash as they have to split the extra gratuity with all the other workers that nite. We asked our water this last year and this is what he told us!!

It actually was a real lobster tail. LOL!! I was actually impressed.

We prebooked Tuscan and Lawn Club but once onboard we decided to do the Lawn Club the last night. Our maître d offered us a discount on it. They had either the early dinner or late one to offer us. Ask your maître d once you meet him in the dining room.

Yes they can accommodate larger groups. Of course the kids can help prepare the food. The chef does all of the grilling though. Talk to your maître d in the dining room. He will take very good care of you. You will have a great time.

Don't miss out on the Lawn Club. It's a must do!!

The Hideaway is on Deck 7. Nice quiet area that has comfy seats and a coffee station there.

I did not recall any offers for first night specialty dining.

We talked to our Maître D in the main dining room about booking this for us. He first offered us a 20% discount but then changed his mind and did 30%. Just remind your waiter about the discount if its not on your statement and he will adjust it immediately. They are very helpful.

The Lawn Club is so much fun. It's a specialty restaurant but very laid back. Your first order that you place is your very own flatbread pizza. You can pick from many different toppings. That takes about 10 minutes to bake. You can even do half of 2 different toppings. Then you place your dinner order. You can order ANYTHING you want. If you want to try everything you can. They encourage it. Salad bar is your next meal once you place your dinner. I passed on it both times so I had enough room for my meal(s) and dessert. If you want to learn about all of the different spices and topping with your meal you put on an apron and gather around your grill master and he will explain this to you. Then you will head back to your table while he grills your meal.

Now for dessert....the baked chocolate cookie with ice cream on it is to die for. Our waiter highly recommended it and wanted to bring us another one after we ate it. He also brought us an apple cobbler that night too.

This restaurant is amazing and so laid back. We saw other guests wearing shorts or jeans. They want you to have fun. If you do go ask for Corsino. He is wonderful and so much fun. Hopefully this helps but if you have any other questions let me know!!

No problems with tendering. You get your ticket to board on Deck 4(right outside the casino). They call the numbers rather quickly. I also did notice that you can sneak in line early because they really don't check your number!! LOL!!

You will LOVE Mr. Sancho's!! Check them out on Facebook.

Another quick tip. Talk to your maître D to get a great discount (30%) on specialty dining. They book everything for you. Nice touch!!

We did not do the Captains Club party. They do however have a very large brunch from 10-1 on Saturday in the dining room that is very nice.

Our flight was at 9:25 this morning and we were at the airport by 8:15. The walk off starts at 7:30 and they also reserve 2 portside elevators for walk off guests. This went very smooth.

Great location for your cabin. We were in 6255 aft but very close to stairs. You will be very happy with your choice!!

My husband and I just returned from an amazing week long cruise onboard the Silhouette. We usually take 2 cruises a year on Celebrity and this by far was the best. The crew and service was the best ever!!

We did a beach at every port and loved every single beach.

Mr. Sancho's Beach resort was so much fun. Approx. $13pp one way to the beach. You can either pay $55 for all inclusive(drinks and food) or just walk on beach for free and still get beach chairs, pool, and Wi-Fi. What a great place!!

Grand Cayman we took the public bus for $5 pp to Calico Jacks. What a fun place!! Free beach chairs and Wi-Fi. Lots to do along the beach also. The bus is right outside the terminal. Great shopping also.

Jamaica we took another bus to Red Stripe Beach. This costs $28 pp both ways and includes chairs and use of resort. Nice private beach. The only way to get to a beach is to use private buses within the terminal. Probably a good idea. The port is very nice and tons of shopping. We did venture into town but found it to be rather annoying with all the locals bother us.

Haiti was so nice and relaxing. We decided to go to the ocean side of the island. Very nice but the beach was covered in rocks and shells. Very hard to walk on. You can rent rafts for $12 and so relaxing.

If you get a chance to eat at the Lawn Club DO IT!! Ask for Corsino...best waiter there. It is so relaxing and laid back. You can order as much food as you want and they want you to feel like your at home. Tuscan was great also but the Lawn Club was amazing.

Sea days by the pool was packed so we decided to lay on the lawn. It was so quiet and very close to the bar, restrooms, and Ocean View Café. There are also comfy chairs and hammocks there too.

Another little bonus was the Hideaway on Deck 7 midship. Coffee station set up along with a quiet sitting area.

The sin city comedy show is a must see. OMG!! So funny. Don't miss it.

The magician was by far the best I have seen.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of other details but if you have any other question just let me know. Hopefully I can help!!

Spent the day at Great Bay beach last March 2009, and am happy to be heading back there again on the Soltice the week of March 14th. Great Bay was very clean, very beautiful water with no significant drop off. You have a great view of the ships from the beach, and the shopping and dining are literally right across the street from the beach. Take the water taxi, and you're there! If you want a nice lazy beach day for cheap, Great Bay is very nice. 2 chairs and a bucket of beer for $15 is hard to beat!
