Love love love Celebrity. Weve never done any of the speciality restaurants as the food in the MDR has been good. I'm mega busy with work otherwise I'd have been on one of the staycation cruises. Martini bar is definitely one of our favourites.
They've upgraded the ship since the last time we were on, but we did have one if the alcoves the last time which was great- we got a good deal whilst in port in civitavecchia one day- you just had to pick a phone up to order your drinks and food. We did want to try lawn club grill and Murano next time as the manu appeals. Enjoy everyone! |

I'm going to phone up tomorrow to upgrade the two of us. Then we can drink whatever we like and the martini bar does look very nice, and the pub good too. Plus the coffee shop, TBH, it all looks lovely!
It is just the two of us going. I think I've spotted you on the FB page (I'm not a stalker, promise) the Disney ears might have been a clue |

Thank you! I intend to enjoy every minute, it just takes a while to get my head around what's included with the different cruise companies and how the processes and procedures work. I've got to grips with MSC and Marella, but haven't got long to figure Celebrity out
The alcoves sound fantastic, definitely something to consider if it's busy on deck. I don't know how many passengers will be on our sailing, possibly 1,500 now the rules have relaxed a little. There doesn't seem to be much about Celebrity Cruises on the Dibb which I thought was unusual. Obviously this is primarily a Disney travel forum but there is so much information that I start most of my holiday research here. |

We found celebrity by accident- we normally cruised with Royal, but due to work commitments and my nana passing away one year we left it too late and they were sold out, Celebrity came up and we loved them.
You are right though there never seems to be too much info about them, I just watched Emma Cruises vlog about her recent trip which was good. I think they now do an all inclusive style price, so classic drinks (I think Emma cruises has info on her website about what's included) internet and grats are all included. I normally get confused about the drinks packages but to be fair have always upgraded before so can have what we like without worrying if our package covers it. I dont think they are doing their famous silent discos at present because thats one thing I would recommend as they are usually good fun. |

I phoned yesterday and upgraded us both to premium drinks and I have to say, the two people from Celebrity that I've spoken to so far have been incredibly helpful, chatty and polite. My pre-cruise experience is worlds apart from MSC where there was nothing but problems and unhelpful customer services people.
The people from Celebrity weren't American but I could sense that their customer service was like I'd usually have with American holiday companies like the Disney call centre, it was fab! |

I've found them great too. Have called quite a few times now and spoken to both the UK and US based staff, all have been lovely.
Yesterday I noticed that a better cabin was available for the same cost, phoned and they moved us no problem. I'll keep checking prices and availability of higher grade cabins and if the price drops or I can bag a Retreat cabin I'll be back on the phone It really is a pleasure to deal with such friendly efficient staff. Makes a change from trying to get through to BA |

Muranos is a must, its very special, my favourite dishes were goats cheese souffle, and their crepe balon dessert, the piano bar just outside the entrance to murano is lovely too.
For more casual home style cooking, try the lawn club grill, the flatbread pizzas, surf n turf, baked potato and beans/salad etc, followed by warm cookie dough dessert mmmmm…. We absolutely love Celebrity and Silhouette is our favourite ship. Have fun! Off to look at these cruises myself now….

I'm on Celebrity Silhouette at the moment (weather is pants, ship is excellent) and I've spotted something in the atrium that Dibbers will appreciate!
