Entertainment on Silhouette

[shofer]

We are booked for Feb 23 and anxious to escape Chicago weather. (At least I am, Mom lives in Florida.) Wondering who is featured as appearing in the theaters? So are the production shows any good? I always thought X was strong in that area.

 

After 4 Princess cruises, I am so looking forward to returning to Celebrity but haven't been on them since 2006. This is my first S-class ship after loving the M-class. Princess did have some very entertaining new shows.

 

The best entertainment we ever saw on a cruise was our RT LA/Hawaii in 2006. Except for the dulcimer guy. At least I think that's what he played with hammers and strings. He was boring and we had just seen him the year before. We saw an act on Princess in 2008 that we saw on the Horizon. (How's that for nostalgia?) Had a good laugh as the show had not changed one iota.

Cant comment on the silhouette but they are good. Not amazing but not bad. Typically the last show of the cruise is very very good. We escape Chicago at the end of this month for a cruise. Cannot wait. Good luck with the deep freeze!

I am also on this cruise. What's true on one cruise might not be true on another. Entertainers change. Cast members change. That being said, I was on Silhouette for the November 18th Adriatic and the Dec.1st TA. Found the Adriatic to have the weakest entertainment I've ever seen on a Celebrity ship and noted it on the comment form. Discussions with others proved to me that I was not alone. Improved quite a bit on the TA. They had a violinist who also played the piano and sang. One of the very best I've seen on any ship. Sin City got mixed reviews. Some loved it, some found it too vulgar and hated it. This being said, I love Silhouette. The staff is superb..

As I write this I'm sitting in the parking lot at my husband's job in a Chicago suburb. We are leaving the jumper cables on his battery, hoping to charge it up enough to start. Must be defective since he just bought it a couple of days ago. The thermometer reads -13. We are on the Equinox at the end of the month and I can safely say.....I don't care if we are entertained by trained poodles, it will be WAY better than this!

We were on Silhouette in December. There was a great illusionist, but the guest entertainers change all the time. We liked the Broadway revue the best of the shows. The other shows all had gymnasts/dancers flying and tumbling in the air, and while I appreciate that it takes a lot of skill to do that, I find it boring to watch.

I certainly agree. The upside of being retired is not having to go out in this extreme weather. The downside is the pay is lousy.

Does Celebrity still offer the Cirque show? Anyone remember Noodles? Can't remember his last name. He was another one we saw on different ships with the same routine.

Just off the 12/29 Silhouette New Year's cruise. We thought the entertainment was pretty good overall. The production shows were fun to watch. (We like the aerialists and thought the Broadway tribute show was the least strong, so go figure.)

 

One of the guest performers was really good -- Christina Bianco, a singer who has a great pair of lungs and does impressions of various "diva" singers such as Barbra, Liza, even Adele.

 

The other two guest performers were un-memorable.

 

We enjoyed Sin City Comedy quite a bit.

Noodles Levenstein??? We saw him on our 1999 Mercury cruise. So bad. Although the young children in the audience thought he was hysterical.

I get the equinox, eclipse and silhouette entertainment mixed up a bit as to which was on what but we have had:

 

hypnotist

 

comedians

 

comedy jugglers

 

guest singers - none of which I enjoyed

 

the circus style shows with acrobats

 

the last night show with all the cast bit like cirque although on the Eclipse in September they told us it was the last time they were doing it and a new one was coming

 

Band doing the songs on john williams

 

crew shows

 

Jersey boys

 

magician and illusionists

 

BMX trickster

 

that's without the singers and dancers shows

All the acapellas aka Jersey Boys are gone fleetwide, add on lots of DJs.

[bakcd]

It would be nice if everything was not done fleetwide. They might have D'Js on half the ships and acapellas on the other half and then evaluate their reception. Just my thoughts.

She was on our ill fated Millie cruise this summer and trapped in Ketchican like the rest of us. We truly enjoyed her performance. I had the oppertunity to chat with her a couple days after her performance and she struck me as a very nice person.

That's the guy. We saw him last on our 2003 Mercury Alaska cruise. He was on our previous year's Hawaii cruise so his routine was Very Familiar.
