    Barb welcome to CLF.

    I’m sure most of your questions will be answered, and we are pleased you are on the new Celebrity Silhouette. Many members have sailed on Celebrity ships.

    Celebrity Silhouette is still on her maiden voyage to Civitavecchia from Hamburg where she is sailing from till the end of October when she heads for Cape Liberty. So we presume you are doing an Eastern Caribbean Cruise

    Barb -

    1. Welcome to Cruise Line Fans. Thanks for joining the site.
    2. Thanks so very much for the excellent reviews you posted. We're so grateful that you chose to share your experiences. I've posted on to our Facebook page - CruiseLineFans | Facebook
    3. The Celebrity Silhouette has been receiving rave reviews and I have a couple of pals on the inaugural voyage. They are serious cruise journalists and all they have to say are excellent things.

    I'm going to let a more experienced Celebrity Cruise go-er answer your drink card questions - let's see what sort of answers we get.

    Thanks again and welcome. We're so glad you're here.

    Cheers!

    Hey Barb! Welcome to our friendly cruise community!

    Celebrity is our favorite cruiseline! We have sailed on the Silhouette's sister ships Solstice, Equinox and Eclipse and love them...I'm sure you will enjoy your holiday cruises.

    We have never bought any of the drink packages, so I can't make any recommendations. I suggest that you figure up how much you are likely to spend on beverages per day and compare that with the daily cost of the packages you are considering.

    Hi Barb!

    My wife and I get the soda and water drink packages on the ship, but the alcohol packages are way to expensive for the amount of drinking we don't do.

    Can you go back to your last cruise print outs? If so, you can see how much you drank and you can run the numbers. We did so for the soda and water packages and actually found out that we came out ahead.
