HS2BS Posted January 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Here is a photo from Facebook of the Silhouette’s construction of the pool area.

shofer Posted January 22, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2020 We were on the Silhouette in November, 2018 for a TA and thought it looked pretty good. What are they changing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted January 22, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Just about everything is being upgraded, and the hull will be repainted a dark blue. The Celebrity App should be up and running when she come out of Dry Dock. Edited January 22, 2020 by upwarduk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted January 27, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Does anyone know if they are retaining the iLounge? I am hoping I can upgrade my iPad. The iPad mini which I bought on Eclipse in 2015 has lost its sound, so I am in the market for a replacement. I do hope they will still be selling Apple products.

I would believe they will maintain the ILounge but will not be in the current location. I noticed that they converted the existing ILounge into 4 inside cabins on the deckplans. On the M-Class ships they moved it to the lobby but also put an ILounge shop in the shop area. I noticed that on Deck 7 mid ship they renamed The Hideaway to The Hub (hmm wonder if that is the new ILounge). It surprised me that they kept the Library that has vanished from other ships.

Just curious as to why you would buy an iPad on a Celebrity cruise vs retailers on land or from Apple directly? Price? It seems to me that Celebrity does not give great deals on board at least compared to where I shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth, when we were on the Edge I did a mostly day to day posting during the trip and someone asked me to check to see what iPads they had, so I posted photos for them. Their response was that they were different from what was new and currently out so they presumed they were older models. Something to consider, perhaps?

Often the iLounge does not carry the latest Apple models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the exchange rate was very favourable , so I was able to get 128gb instead of 32gb. You just have to be careful that you do not exceed your personal customs allowance, which is £390 in UK.

For residents of many countries (not USA) that have high VAT rates of 18-21% the prices on the ship (which are the same as U.S. retail) may be a very good deal. Even for U.S. purchasers you would be able avoid Sales Tax if you live in a state with state sales tax.

cruising diva Posted January 29, 2020 #19 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Upwarduk. I also have a mini that lost sound. I put rice in a plastic container and carefully placed the iPad on top and closed the lid for 24 hrs. The sound returned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 29, 2020 #23 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Just go to Celebrity Website. Select Ship from the Menu and then DeckPlan There will be a pull down box with the before and after Dry Dock dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal I believe it is just the paint over spray. They put plastic over the windows before painting and then remove after the hull is painted. You might be able to see some over spray on the 3 and 4th window left of the crane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
