** A ittle explainer about the 'paid promotion' popup box - KZbin defines paid promotion as 'accepting anything of value from a third party to make your video'. As mentioned in the video I was invited onboard by Celebrity which means that they paid my cruise fare, I'm never paid beyond this but the gifted cruise fair means I need to tick this box. All opinions are my own and no cruise line has control over my content. ** 🎉🎉 If you are curious about how I make money (working with a travel agent, sales of my course etc, check out this video >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ3Tm5h3gs-GZsU)

I had a little giggle seeing the 3rd class cabin. It looked identical to the cabin my husband and I had on our honeymoon cruise in 1980. It didn’t have a bathroom, that was a 2 minute walk down the corridor, but it did have a small porthole. 😂 The ship was P&O Oriana. She is now long gone but we are still continuing our cruise love affair.

Liverpool was my favorite cruise port ever. As a huge Beatles fan, I took an excursion that included the Beatles Experience, the Cavern Club, and going in to both John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s childhood homes. It was amazing. Also included lunch at a place I don’t remember the name of, but they had the best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had. One of the top days of my life. That whole 12 day UK and Ireland cruise was amazing, but Liverpool especially for me. Princess even had Pete Best, the Beatles drummer before Ringo, come on board and do an interview and took pictures with passengers. It was amazing. Would love to try Celebrity some time as well. They look like a cut above most American cruise lines.

[@EmmaCruises]

That sounds AWESOME. Love it! :D

I like the idea of the animated meal - that is wild! On a separate note, I have never been on a cruise and started seeing some of your videos. I have enjoyed watching your videos. I have watched other cruise videos, to your credit I find your videos to be more fluid, that is they move quickly between points with a clear direction. Perhaps this is just the American in me that likes British accents but I enjoy hearing your voice as well as the British-isms. Thank you.

Oh Emma! You made me so cruisesick! To see the familiar Celebrity balcony stateroom, the Oceanview buffet, the theatre and all the beautiful areas of the ship, including the tree. The only one of my favourites that you only mentioned in passing, was Cafe al Bacio, my spot for my daily latte and cake, and a comfortable and cosy spot for reading and tea. We finished our New Zealand cruise, on Celebrity Solstice, which was the last one, the week before covid hit Australia, through Ruby Princess. We were so impressed with Celebrity’s care with keeping us healthy even before we knew it was a pandemic and there were no cases on the ship. I am so happy you’ve had the opportunity to sail with our favourite cruise line and Thankyou so much for describing all of it so well. Sally from Australia.

Hi, I've watched a number of KZbin videos about the celebrity silhouette as we are going for an around the UK cruise this month on the silhouette in a couple of weeks. I have to say, your review is the best that we have watched with a lot of useful information presented well with the information that I have been looking for. I agree about the drinks package options seem to be confusing vs the MSC Virtuosa which we were on a few weeks ago. I'm going to go onto your website to have a a look at the drinks options you talked about in your video. Thanks again for a 1st class video review of the silhouette. Siggi

I was on the Silhouette in 2019, too, doing the Norwegian Fjords. I thought it was a beautiful ship then. I loved the lawn. I just came back off the Anthem of the Seas with RC and I agree, the embarkation process was far, far easier than expected. From parking the car to stepping on the ship took 25 minutes. It was better than pre-Covid. I like what they've done with the Sunset Bar. We also spent a lot of time in the Hide Away. I loved the Sky Lounge and I think they have improved it with the refurb. Thanks for the video. I'm itching to get back on this ship again.

I've been "back home" four times to see remaining family - my late uncle was an electrical engineer who worked for Harland & Wolf, and his daughter (my cousin) is the Administrative Assistant to the Lord Mayor. I definitely feel that you should take a weekend or two for an extended visit, there's a tremendous amount of history in the area, with lots of places to see and things to do, from classic Irish pubs, quaint "chip shops, ' and Queen's University. I see that Belfast is opening back up, so put it on your "to do" list! Enjoy!

Hey Emma! New to your channel (recommended by KZbin). We've watched a few of your videos so far -- nicely done! But I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this video, because, coincidentally, we've been on the Celebrity Silhouette twice too! First in Nov. 2014 (7 NIGHT EASTERN CARIBBEAN), and again in Apr. 2017 (7 NIGHT WESTERN CARIBBEAN). Both departed from Fort Lauderdale, Florida (we are from So Cal). So glad to see that they refurbished the ship, because we could not help but notice that the furnishings were very tired-looking on our 2nd trip. We did spend a good amount of time in the now-extinct "Cellar Masters" wine bar, LOL -- mostly taking advantage of the craft beer offerings as part of our Premium Bev Pkg. Looking forward to cruising again once the pandemic is over. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing your experience with the vegetarian/vegan options on Celebrity. We booked a Royal Caribbean Bahamas/Caribbean cruise at the end of September because Royal Caribbean has specific vegan and vegetarian menus with many options.

[@EmmaCruises]

That’s good to hear 😀❤️

[@joshuaharper2624]

@greenmarcosu How did you find vegan options on Royal? I know their menus have 1 vegan option for every course in the main dining room, but how do you find the buffet? I can't find vegan buffet info anywhere other than occasional comments that the buffet isn't labelled well

[@greenmarcosu]

@@joshuaharper2624 A few years ago, it was really good. But, my spouse has been on 2 on Royal Caribbean since then, and the vegan menu is a bit more limited. When we went in 2022 the main dining room had a full vegan menu with multiple choices that changed daily on the 7 day cruise including appetizer, entree, and dessert. Now, it seems, as you said, they have about 1 or so vegan options per meal. My spouse still had plenty to eat, but it was not as many options or as interesting/exciting as RC a few years ago. Make sure to talk to the maître d' or a chef and ask what can be made vegan. Also, we really enjoyed ordering off of the Indian menu, and sometimes there is also an Asian menu that have options that are or can be made vegan.

In Canada we use 'bachelor' and 'bachelorette' parties, but if it's a combined party (usually to raise funds for the wedding) it's called 'Buck and Doe'. As usual with culture, we are somewhere inbetween US and UK.

Great tour of the Silhouette, Emma. I'm like you and travel on a budget so I'm not sure a Celebrity cruise is in my future. I do love seeing it all from your point of view.

I have a saying, if you're on-time you're late. Meaning if you have appointment at 9:00AM, and you arrive at 9:00AM, your appointment isn't going to start until say 9:05. Either due to chit chat, needing supplies,whatever it may be. SO, I AM like you, and if I meet at 9, I arrive at 8:45 to make sure I am good to go at 9!

I’m with you on what’s considered “late”. If you get there when something is set to start, that’s rudely late. 5 minutes before is kinda late. It started for me in marching band, the time you meant to be there for something meant in your seat ready to go, anything else is late!

[@EmmaCruises]

I'm the same way and it started for me in marching band as well. I've heard the same from many others. It's funny to think of how many people who are punctual as adults thanks to our band directors drilling "if you're on time you're late, if you're early you're on time" into our heads.

The big difference at the beginning of the video is that the hull of the ship is now blue instead of white! Love the photo of you and your Mom, looks like you had a blast. I agree that U.S. cruise lines need to up their game when it comes to vegetarian options. I don't understand why vegetarians have to seek out options in the MDR instead of just having them on the menu. How hard would it be to add a vegetarian options page to a menu? I think we need to start an email campaign or something and let them know that they need to do this.

[@EmmaCruises]

Yess!!! You got it 😀❤️

[@markej4801]

Hear hear!!! I've been on 3 cruises now (2 Princess, 1 Carnival) and it seems the most boring part of the cruise, eating in the MDR. There was only ONE offering on Princess and it was the SAME every evening!!! I was not aware I could ask for something separate from the menu and am glad you've told us that, Emma. I'll have to explore that option next March when we sail the Carnival Freedom for their Sailabration.

Totally agree about the drinks confusion. We had our first ever cruise in 2018 on the C Reflection, with a classic drinks package, and the only place that clearly defined what drinks were included on this package was at the main restaurant. Otherwise We were constantly asking in the other bars was this and that included. There was a lot of confusion even between bars and bar staff as to what fell into the classic drinks package and what didnt. Despite this only gripe, we have booked our 2nd cruise in summer 2022, also on the Reflection, and in the same cabin!

I've seen that grassy lawn used occasionally: people are up there, sitting on blankets spread out on the lawn, playing bocce, and walking past the grass on their way towards the Sunset Bar overlooking the stern wake. But what really gets unused by anybody are those Pay-for-use alcoves to occupy. I did that once during a port call at Naples in late October '12. Never again: not only was that port day too cold, especially way up on that deck, but also the experience's description didn't live up to expectations. Also, if you're the only one doing the Alcove thing and there's nobody else around you, is that good or bad? I felt sorry for the attendants who weren't assigned to my alcove who had nothing to do. Frankly, though, I'd like to see the Porch closed up--nobody goes there to dine, do they?--and expand the dining space for the Lawn Club Grill. I wonder how they handled social distancing within that space? That specialty restaurant and Tuscan Grills were my faves aboard Silhouette and Reflection.

Nice job! I was on the Silhouette on a Baltic Cruise exactly 2 years ago. So, I found it brilliant to watch! (I’m American but on the Silhouette Cruise, I realized how much of a British-ism “brilliant” is!). Thanks for another nice video to see cruising in COVID world, or hopefully post COVID world!

[@EmmaCruises]

Haha!! Brilliant is a brilliant word. Thank you 😀❤️

I was aboard the old Royal Princess (the one christened by Princess Di in '84) for a 12-day Baltic Sea cruise, sailing to and from Southampton. The only place I wasn't too crazy about was St. Petersburg, Russia. Those people are polite, but they're scary, too! Thankfully the Germans weren't all that scary when I visited Berlin, but then I recall just how scary they were during WW2.

Taking your mum along - 👍

Emma, on our vacation down to Port Canaveral I got to see the Carnival Mardi Gras up close and watched the Disney Dream leave on a test sailing! It was thrilling to see these cruise ships again! We met some cruisers at a Tiki Bar that sail only on Celebrity cruise ships now (they started cruising with Royal Caribbean at first). I told them my personal goal is to sail on the Celebrity Edge at some point in the future! Watching your experience on this ship now I am now anxious to compare the Covid protocols with my cruise coming in December 2021. Enjoyed the video!

[@EmmaCruises]

yess! Sounds good! 😁🥳 Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

[@ebellmrs]

The MDR has a separate vegetarian menu, you just need to ask for it. My partner and I have travelled many Celebrity Cruises and are both vegetarian. The food never disappoints! Great video!

[@EmmaCruises]

Yeah I thought that might be a thing, weird it was never mentioned though if that’s the same on the cruise I was on 🤔❤️

[@SandyToes75]

Do Celebrity once a year because I love it! Other cruises are planned for those coming with me but that one is my choice. They do have fleet wide vegetarian menus and if vegan or other dietary restrictions apply, just speak with the maitre’D on the first day and every day from then on, you will be asked about tomorrow’s dining choices. I think you will enjoy the level of personal care they put into each guest.

If I recall, the Titanic Museum has 6 floors, with the museum encompassing the first 5, and the top floor being an area for meetings and events. How do I know this, well, in 2016 I was on a tour and we had 45 minutes there (we were on our way to Giant's Causeway, etc.), so I get in the elevator, press the button for the top floor, get out, take a few pictures of the slipways, and then a worker came out of the big room and asked if I was part of the conference, and I said I was not and would be leaving immediately. I was someplace I was not supposed to be. In 2019, I spent a day at the Titanic Museum - and it is awesome. Actually, Belfast was awesome.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video! I like the look of the ship. Have a fabulous weekend!

[@EmmaCruises]

Thanks Daniel! :D

Celebrity Silhouette looks beautiful too

[@EmmaCruises]

She really is, such a lovely ship. :-)

[@thescottishtravelcouple]

This ship looks beautiful. Never been on Celebrity. Great video ❤️

[@EmmaCruises]

Thank you! 😁❤️

[@daleniehaus4309]

Emma, so glad you enjoyed the Silhouette - loved your review! We were on her in 2018 (ABC Islands in the Caribbean). We loved it for many of the same reasons you did! We absolutely loved Murano - was worth the extra cost. It is interesting to see her after she went through her updates! Happy cruising! :)

[@EmmaCruises]

Yay! Thanks Dale 😀❤️

[@phwlee]

Great review and I am totally impressed on how you can go through and review the entire cruise on-the-fly like you do. Can't wait to get onto a cruise soon. Looking forward to your next video

[@EmmaCruises]

Thanks so much, lots of planning is how ha ha 🤣❤️

[@stuartstuart1058]

Hen's and BUCK'S is the Australian vernacular. Love your videos!

[@vanessaroughsedge9574]

I have done two celebrity cruises both times with the premium drinks package, we never got to the bottom of what drinks were available on the package or what bar sold what! I think that was more frustrating having to go to specific bars to get relatively simple drinks. One was a European cruise, the other Caribbean. It was still fantastic though! The oatmeal and raisin cookies are heaven, we dream about them😂😂

[@EmmaCruises]

Confusing isn't it? Mmmm!! Yeah!! :D

[@ssnydess6787]

Columbia Crest wine! Great to see some Washington State USA wine there!

[@dan30308]

The Belfast Titanic museum was the reason I went to Belfast. It was great. Make sure to go to the bar at the hotel across the street. It was the design room where the ship drawings were drafted and it has been repurposed. Gorgeous bar.

[@EmmaCruises]

I’d have loved to if we could, couldn’t leave our excursion bubble 😅❤️

[@chrisssssssxx]

thank you Emma for this video I'm going on silhouette during the UK summer holidays and I'm really happy that you released this video because, in my opinion, you are the best youtube that includes cruises I love your videos keep the good work up and before you know it you might even have 1M subscribers!

[@EmmaCruises]

Awwwh!!! Thank you so much. Appreciate this lots 😀🥳

Thanks Lisa! :D

We went on the celebrity reflection for our honeymoon two years ago and we absolutely loved it, but I totally agree about the drinks package being confusing. I felt the same as you, didn’t really know what was included, so I probably didn’t use it properly or to it’s full extent 😊 otherwise, fabulous experience and I hope to go on another cruise with them some day.
