dkjretired Posted July 17, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We had a thread awhile back about trying to find out who is chartering Silhouette on Dec. 16 of this year. Heres the answer in press release from Celebrity. Not a charter. Its a Coachella cruise http://www.rclinvestor.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=103045&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1715600&highlight= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise kitty Posted July 17, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2012 You beat me to it, I was listening to NPR on the way home from work just now, & they announced it... according to them, there will be two of these cruises in Dec. The Cochella festival is a pretty big deal here S. CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted July 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I am having one of those "I am SO over 50 and am such a fuddyduddy" moment. I took a look at the link provided by dkretired, and have to admit that I don't recognize any of them. But as a shareholder I think this is an excellent idea.

kitty9 Posted July 18, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I am now officially OLD. Never heard of any of those groups. Now, if you say MegaDeath, Supertramp, and Poison, then you'd have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirthdayGirl30 Posted July 18, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm young-ish. I've been to Coachella. I know a fair portion of the bands playing. I am so glad I am scheduled on the cruise BEFORE this one. I do not see how the ship is not going to get totally trashed. Yikes! :eek::eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davids81 Posted July 18, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm wondering if there are available alcohol packages for this. The wife and I are seriously considering this, as we love cruising and Coachella!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satchiesmom Posted July 18, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Gosh, I hope she doesn't get trashed, we are sailing her on January 6th. Are these people really that bad??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 18, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hi Everyone, I feel soooooooooo old. I read the list and dont know who any of the performers are. At first, I wondered if it was a Coach Bag mega sale Cruise !!! Must say, I'm a bit concerned about potential damage. Let's hope all goes well, and everyone has a great time.

RumRunner01 Posted July 18, 2012 #19 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My husband and I were just talking about the ship getting "trashed" but after he started reading about people complaining about the cost of the cruise/concert on the Coachella website, I think this may cater to a different caliber of Coachella fan. While I love a good music festival I prefer to do it more first class and not get involved in the whole camping/trashing/getting dirty thing, we get a hotel, etc.. I'm just out for good music and we have the money to go to a festival and do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThursdaysChild Posted July 18, 2012 #20 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Same here, I thought it had something to do with Coach bags... Well, if THAT were the case, I'd have booked a suite so I'd have enough room for all the shopping bags!:D;):D:eek::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpgrneyes Posted July 18, 2012 #21 Share Posted July 18, 2012 And the next cruise is the CHRISTMAS cruise I'm taking the entire family on? Looks like we may give the crew a little extra time before we rush to board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted July 18, 2012 #22 Share Posted July 18, 2012 A three nighter to the Bahamas and a four nighter to Jamaica with prices from $500 pp with four sharing a room. Celebrity are obviously desperate to fill their ships. I will be getting off Silhouette on the 16th December and wishing the crew the best of luck!

Emperor Norton Posted July 18, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 18, 2012 All I know about that festival can be summed up in a video from about 3 years ago I saw on another board where this cruise was mentioned: Naked Wizard Tazered.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
