The Solstice class ships are known for having an upper deck with a lawn. The Silhouette has something a little new to this class of ship in the form of the “Alcoves”, you can secure one of this little areas for mere sum of $149 on a sea day and $99 on a port day. Surprisingly they don’t seem to be that popular…….

What could be better? Sitting out on deck in the sun and enjoying breakfast with the sound of the turbulent water being thrown up by the propellers.

Who would have thought on our first sea day out of New York we would have had weather like this? We have been sat out on the balcony for 2 hours in glorious sunshine and have decided we really should go to breakfast!
Just Perfect!

Its the first morning and first opportunity to try out the ships WiFi. I treated myself to a package of 90 minutes for $54 less 25% for being a Select member of the Captains Club. It doesn’t seem too bad a deal and it covers the whole ship.
We are just sat out on the balcony in the morning sun enjoying our first coffee of the morning. After just after 12 hours the temperature feels much warmer.
First morning and Sea number 1.

As we start our sailaway we pass the Tear Drop Monument for the victims of 9/11.

Our muster station is in Michael’s club and there were no real changes from the last time on Celebrity. No need to take your life jacket either. All done inside and in comfortable surroundings.

We are on at last and in our cabin. I had forgotten how good Celebrity was compared to some of the other lines. We are totally relaxed already and we haven’t even set sail yet. Next on the list is the muster at 4.15 which is 45 minutes prior to sailaway.

Out for a morning stroll we spot our ship just behind the Statue of Liberty. Not long now before we join her.
