Anyway, I was just on the Celebrity Summit early in July. Everything people have said about Celebrity in the past in terms of how good the experience is was correct, especially the food -- some of the best food I've ever had aboard ship. So I wound up booking passage on the Silhouette in February for the Eastern Caribbean. Has anyone been on this vessel, and what is the general consensus on it?
Nice to see everyone getting on like the dysfunctional family we've always been. TTYS

My absence couldn't be helped, as the last several years saw my life in complete shambles, coming to a head on March 28th with the passing of my wife, who had been battling endometrial cancer for nearly 7 years.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even begin to imagine.
Though, I'm glad you're back to cruising and back to posting here! I've been following these boards for years! I've always appreciated the closeness and familiarity of all the users/usernames! It really is like a dysfunctional family
Solstice Class is my favorite mainstream class of ships.
I remember you wife well at the SSUS meetings.
Please accept my condolences

I was just on the Celebrity Summit. Originally scheduled for a Bermuda run, Hurricane Cristobal changed that and we were diverted to Cape Canaveral and Nassau.
I enjoyed the dinning, however; the food in Blu wasn't good at all. I was surprised by the long lines and confusion at the lido buffet.
