Creator's Key Takeaways

i've just disembarked a cruise on the celebrity silhouette this wasn't my first time cruising on the ship but this cruise was completely different to the first time i cruised on her

to celebrate the first sailing of the celebrity silhouette since the shutdown celebrity invited me along with journalists important people and even some celebrities to join them for a british isles cruise

celebrity have spent a whopping 75 million on this ship since i was first on board so i was obviously interested if i would notice the differences

the food was definitely one of the main things i was looking forward to on this cruise even though i only cruised for three days with celebrity before i have very fond memories of the plates of cookies of the yorkshire puddings in the buffet

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use Celebrity's partnered testing company Eurofins for pre-cruise PCR tests to ensure support if issues arise
βœ“Book organized excursions for now, as independent options may be limited due to COVID measures
βœ“Screenshot included drinks menus to clarify what is covered, as the classic package details can be confusing
