On the 24 April 2012, we finally took the plunge and booked a dream cruise for the family. It is something that we have wanted to do for a long time and although it is some time away we are all very excited about the prospect of a family Caribbean Christmas cruise. While we were on the Celebrity Silhouette we purchased some cruise deposits, the incentive being that they would provide us with some on board credit when we eventually booked our next cruise. Because we had purchased two of these deposits, the offer could be extended to provide credit to one additional cabin per deposit. This means that we could book four cabins and each cabin would receive the same onboard credit. We have also been lucky enough to get 4 hump cabins in a row on Deck 7, 7266, 7268, 7270 & 7272. See photo below for the location of the cabins.
Below you will find a list of our itinerary along with a map. For us it will mean Christmas day 2013 will be spent in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas and most probably on the beach at Magen’s Bay
