** A little explainer about the 'paid promotion' popup box - UA-cam defines paid promotion as 'accepting anything of value from a third party to make your video'. As mentioned in the video I was invited onboard by Celebrity which means that they paid my cruise fare, I'm never paid beyond this but the gifted cruise fare means I need to tick this box.

Great information. Thank you. We love Celebrity. We were on the Silhouette when it first came into service. Every experience on the Celebrity has always been exceptional. Thank you Emma.
I have literally no interest in cruising. Never been on one, and I have no intention of going on one. The nearest I've come to a cruise is watching The Poseidon Adventure every New Year's Eve as my own personal ritual. And yet. I am utterly fascinated by this channel. I watch every video without fail. (Emma is one of the few UA-camrs I have on alert). I think it's the wholesome and welcoming tone. And the fact she's a fellow Brit doesn't hurt! These vids are the opposite of stress.
Glad I’m not the only one. You will never catch me on a cruise; they are beyond horrible for the environment and a such a dumbed down way to travel. HOWEVER, I love this channel for some reason!
Oh my gosh I love this comment. Thank you so so much. Needed a bit of cheering up and you’ve both done it, thank you so much. I guess for you guys it’s a ‘what does Emma think’ channel 😅
@@jigilous Goodness.. what is good for the environment? Your existence is "Bad for the Environment". Not being mean truly! Just... seriously we humans consume a lot. Even if you go vegan and sit in a grassy field and breathe shallow breaths between planting trees... it makes an impact. That said we should hold large companies accountable for sustainable operations and continue working on innovations to reduce impacts and maintain natural resources.
A well presented tour of the ship by the impeccably attired presenter. The floating city was defiantly on full display. It made it easy to understand the allure of cruising.
Love you Emma, you're the best of the cruise news Tubers, but I have to correct you on one thing. There are 5, not 4, Solstice class ships. You missed the newest one, the Reflection. Other than that, I really appreciate the before/after shots of the renovated areas. Will be on the Equinox in another week or so, can't wait.
Emma, you do the best tours! You make everything so interesting - even if you don't like sushi! Lol You and your mum looked happy. Tell your mum she looks marvelous!
Our first cruise back, at a similar time as yours, was also British Isles. 12 nights on Apex. Distancing was still a thing, but masks were not mandatory. I'm watching this one now as we depart for 13 nights for a Scandinavian trip. Your video was very helpful as I've not been on this class of ship before. Thank you for such an entertaining and comprehensive video!
Great video Emma. Very informative. Celebrity is now my list because of you. I have few more days to get to platinum level on Carnival, then I will explore other cruiselines.
I was just on her a few weeks back - I hadn't seen what the Silhouette looked like before the renovation, which definitely still stands up a couple of years later.
So completely entertaining as your videos always are Emma ! Thank you !!! The remodel is brilliant if I may steal one of your adorable expressions ;-) May I ask if in the refit, they deepened that second outdoor pool on Deck 12 ? When I was on her prior to the refit, I went into the pool closest to the large bank of elevators and it turned out it was a kiddies pool LOL - up to my knees at best ! I pretended I meant to go in the pool by relaxing / floating atop the water so people wouldn't think I was an idiot, well but I was an idiot so there LOL !!! I hope now both outdoor pools are the same depth.... Love that indoor solarium pool too, but I need to be outdoors to truly enjoy a swim and laps. I so love cruising Celebrity and am thrilled you and your mom had a blast too !!! Cheers to you and to a life time of lovely joy-filled travels ! Marcia
Hi Emma, great video. We live Celebrity but have been on the Summit, will be on the Millennium in November, the Summit again next June and the Constellation a year from next March. So we'll enjoy the smaller ships. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut. Go Chelsea FC Blues 💙
Thank you Emma! We'll be sailing on the Silhouette in a few weeks to Key West and the Bahamas. Your video was very informative and helpful. Much appreciated.
Great Video Emma! She Is A Beautiful Ship! I'm Contemplating Of Booking A Cruise On Celebrity Edge To The Caribbean And Bahamas! Late 2023. A Ways Away! Stay Safe And Thanks!💖😉🥂
That's yet another ship I need to go on, it looks pretty swish. Your comment about saying goodbye to $20 in the casino as expected did make me smile. I do exactly the same, but it's still good fun.👍
Celebrity Reflection is also a Solstice class ship. She and Silhouette both have Lawn Club Grill. We've been on both twice. Also been on Eclipse and Equinox, Solstice class. The casino bar was there before, and there was one near the shops and theatre entrance. We loved all the trips on Celebrity and are great fans of the fabulous Martini Bar!
Emma, we were chatting about your channel this morning at the office and a number of us thought a great episode for you would be an "evolution of the cruise ship" maybe as a multi part series, start from as early back in history as you see fit. Just an idea that we would be curious to watch!
Just had a wonderful staycation on the Fabulous silhouette, staying in “The Retreat”. Well worth the money. What a fantastic 1st holiday since the pandemic!! Beautiful and modern ship and the staff and crew were Amazing!!
What is the minimum accommodation quality you need to book to qualify for The Retreat facilities? Surely there is something less grand and more affordable than the Royal Suite?
Great tour I hope our celebrity ship looks this good after they remolded it thank you 🙏🏻 after 44 cruise s the cruise we will take out of Tampa Florida will be our first Celebrity ship 🚢
This really has me excited for our Nov. sailing on the Equinox. We love Celebrity. The food is excellent and the overall service level is some of the best at sea. Thanks for the vid!
I think I watched this before I booked our first every cruise which will be on this ship. Seeing it now makes us very excited about going on it to see Norway in June.
Excellent review. Liked the before and after pics. We enjoy cruising with Celebrity. Those rocking chairs in the observation lounge make more sense than having them in your Veranda cabins… (The Edge class ships)
I think my absolute favourite thing about the refit of Silhouette is the Craft Social addition - we found it so nice to relax in there with a beer (or two...) before dinner, but we probably wouldn't have used the wine bar that was there before as it seemed really dark!
I once overheard someone say to a friend who had just been on a cruise ask what i think as the stupidest question ever..... " why do they have pools on a ship? Youre surrounded by water so you can just go swimming off the side" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Top review Emma! You keep going on them gorgeous cookies, and you’ll need that gym one day!🍪🍪🍪🍪 I’m a real Cookie Monster myself🍪 I guess you’ll be on IONA soon? I’m looking to book my next cruise for May next year, although i prefer smaller ships I’m interested to see what’s she’s like! Ive done a couple P&O cruises and mostly enjoyed them, but they are a bit mmm you know! Thanks again🍸
Thank you! I haven’t got any Iona plans, I booked her but it was cancelled and I haven’t rebooked because the price was much higher than I’d have liked 😅👏🏼
At 3:25 the seatruck ship is called the seatruck panorama because of the layout of the shot you can work out that it is sitting at vt2 panorama was on lease to Stena for year now replaced with foreteller because she is sitting at vt2 this shows that the freight bots I believe the closest one to be jsp rider but might be wrong they are sitting at vt3 because if this you can work out the video was filmed on 7th of July and the boat was docked in Belfast
Thanks for the video. Im in Miami FL U.S.A. and this ship is in my port. Is there a younger group, or is it mostly elders? Seems a tab bit on the older side but could be dead wrong. I like Royal Caribbean cause it's fairly mixed. Thanks again.
Thank you for helping me get an idea of what to expect when I have my first cruise in August on silhouette 😄 Can I please ask, do you get charged 20% on every drink you order if you have a drinks package?
Hi we are from Australia. And are booked on her sister ship celebrity Eclipse to sail 14 nights Sydney to New Zealand return to Sydney in November 2022. Looking forward to being at sea. We loved her sister ship the Solstice Regards. Andrew. Also kind regards to Emma she is a treasure
@@andrewnewman1248 ah Sydney. That might be the only option I have and yet my anxiety about being alone in a strange city and having to get a hotel at either end of the trip and flying makes it currently out of reach. I get extremely anxious in new places and I’m afraid to say it does limit my movements a lot. Maybe in the future I’ll be braver.
Hi Emma, from your experience, do the third and forth person in the same cabin pay the same fare with the first 2 people? Or they pay less for the cruise? Thanks.
We're looking at possible future cruises. One is on Celebrity Silhouette, so we watched your video. one question, you described the library as a "book exchange type thing". Is the entire library a book exchange, or is only part of it a book exchange and the rest a regular library?
Wow looks nice too on board Silhouette though I think the ship that is due to come to Australia eventually when they can get to will be the Eclipse she will be like this ship you are on there
If the Eclipse is as nice as the Silhouette I would be keen to fly from NZ to Australia to sail on her as I’ve never tried Celebrity cruises as yet. We are forever hopeful that cruising will resume again at some stage down under here once both our governments allow this.
Emma, I am going to ask all of the YT cruise posters about this, but you being younger, may have more insight into it: 3 questions: How do you get the time off work to take as many cruises as you do? How do you get the money to take as many cruises as you do? I know posting here if you are monetized helps, but It would not be enough (I am wondering if the people posting about cruising are actually just all upper crust) ? Finally, do you know of ANY way to cruise alone without paying for TWO people ?
What makes someone start at the top and go down when touring a ship? Every time I have toured it’s always the bottom to the top - I love heights so I must be trying to save the best for last - thanks for the wonderful tour
Hi - Do you happen to know when the Reflection is due for the renovation? It’s 2023 but I don’t know if that means by the beginning of the year or the end of the year…thanks.
Hey Emma, always enjoy watching your videos and actually planning to book my first cruise this November for my honeymoon! :) Unfortunately I can't book through you because I am not in the UK (I already asked you about that). My question is, having found the cruise I would like to take. What would you recommend, purchasing directly through the cruise line, or through an agent? What benefits can an agent provide and does it cost more (or less?)? Thanks!
Hey Ryan, a travel agent shouldn’t ever cost you more so I always recommend them. They are sometimes able to get you discounts/freebies and at a minimum they’re there to do all the talking to the cruise line for you… like having somebody on your side. 😀❤️
I think "lovely" should be your next Britishism. Although the word technically means the same, Americans seem to use it only for appearances... "That woman is lovely." I don't think they would ever say "That cup of tea was lovely." I can't think of an American equivalent. "Delightful" may be the closest but that may not be very commonly used. And yes, my brain works this way! ;-)
@@EmmaCruises I agree that it would be hard to describe. It might be too fundamental a difference between British and American cultures. Perhaps it doesn't need to be explained, just appreciated instead!
A few years ago my wife and I did a celebrity cruise around the Baltic. We paid to eat in the restaurant and did so for all our meals except lunch which we had on trips or in the main buffet. During one evening meal a waiter suggested we may like to try one of the other smaller speciality restaurants; would we have had to pay extra if we had a meal in one of the speciality restaurants? Sorry, I've now seen more of your video, yes we would have had to pay extra.
Cruise ships are coming back to dundee scotland, think its a starting point rather than visiting for the day. But its kl to see them, I'm scared of being on open water, so see it through your channel
I have never been on a cruise before and I have started watching these videos to try and convince myself to book one... from what I've gathered the majority of space on these ships is used to just sit around and eat? With some more sitting in-between the sitting... I remain unconvinced that these are going to be engaging and fun holidays! 🤣🤣 Good video mind you!
Haha!! You need to check out a big Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line ship if you want lots of stuff (check out my Encore tour). Celebrity are designed for relaxing 😀❤️
I'm not a restaurant person and you're right that more and more of the ships are restaurants or some sort of eateries. Ships used to have more venues to meet, mingle, drink, dance and the deck spaces used to have less on them so you can look at the sea more but filling them up with revenue enhancements and rented space is how the cruise lines make more money. There is entertainment in the show lounge, there are activities that you may or may not find interesting like games and trivia. But what I most enjoyed was the lounge atmosphere where there were people dancing. Also, the pool areas can be lively at times. There are spa areas that really try to take your money with their "services." And the ever present Park West galleries are part of pretty much every cruise line. Celebrity started with one specialty dining room on the Millennium class but the Solstice class brought in a lot more. The Century class had more meet and mingle and dance areas and no specialty restaurants. I feel I had my best food on the Century class and best time. I liked the Century class ships best and think the Edge ships are the worse ships as they have no Sky Lounge, no library, no card room, and even more restaurants. They have a space called Eden that's like another show area where the performers are part of the scene that some people love. But they also have yet another restaurant, for-pay restaurant, there as well.
I love love love the osmo, I used to use a go pro too but the battery wouldn’t last long, it would overheat and I got fed up. The dj lasts for days and it’s so tiny. Love it 😀❤️
Watching this video, thinking this all looks like the Celebrity ship I cruised on... and then look at the ship name and realized it was the very ship we were on 😜😜 we cruised in 2020, just before the ‘rona shut things down

Sailed on silhouette pre refit and it was my favourite. Trying the Edge in December and am excited to see if I love it as much
Great video Emma. Very informative. Celebrity is now my list because of you. I have few more days to get to platinum level on Carnival, then I will explore other cruiselines.
Yay! So glad to hear that. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

This review is better than Celebrity's own videos. Hope they were comping you some nice upgrades for the excellent review!

3:56 The MVP laying face down on the bed like a king/dead body haha
Excellent review. Liked the before and after pics. We enjoy cruising with Celebrity. Those rocking chairs in the observation lounge make more sense than having them in your Veranda cabins… (The Edge class ships)
Update. They've been removed from some of the Edge class ships.
Thanks Emma! Great video - and appreciate the links!
I like the layout, not overly decorated. Looks like the food is delicious.
I think my absolute favourite thing about the refit of Silhouette is the Craft Social addition - we found it so nice to relax in there with a beer (or two...) before dinner, but we probably wouldn't have used the wine bar that was there before as it seemed really dark!
I don't think I'd move from the library. To holiday in a library would be just perfect!
It is lovely! ❤️
I was wondering when your video of your Disney cruise will be up?
I once overheard someone say to a friend who had just been on a cruise ask what i think as the stupidest question ever..... " why do they have pools on a ship? Youre surrounded by water so you can just go swimming off the side" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you! I haven’t got any Iona plans, I booked her but it was cancelled and I haven’t rebooked because the price was much higher than I’d have liked 😅👏🏼
I’ll keep looking 👀
Thanks Emma brilliant as usual your a natural with both camera and voice over
Emma, does the Silhouette not have a Martini bar any more? I didn't see anything in your video and that was always my favourite part of the ship.
Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Really enjoyed this tour. Thank you!
Yay! Thank you! 😁❤️
Did they have the martini bar (frozen bartop) or Aqua class staterooms and the Blue (Blu? - I forget) restaurant?
At 3:25 the seatruck ship is called the seatruck panorama because of the layout of the shot you can work out that it is sitting at vt2 panorama was on lease to Stena for year now replaced with foreteller because she is sitting at vt2 this shows that the freight bots I believe the closest one to be jsp rider but might be wrong they are sitting at vt3 because if this you can work out the video was filmed on 7th of July and the boat was docked in Belfast
Tuscan Grill looks yummy! Still perplexed about how they draw a beer from the bottom of the glass.
I don’t know man 🤣🥲
The Tuscan Grill was my favourite! Lovely food, company - and amazing views out over the back of the ship...💕
You madam are a pleasure to listen to you know your stuff down to earth and beautiful awesome channel 🇮🇪🏴🤘
Yay thank you so much 😀❤️

Can I please ask, do you get charged 20% on every drink you order if you have a drinks package?
Hey Debbie, nope if you’ve paid for the drinks package that’s it nothing else to pay 😀🙏
Emma - Do you just use your iPhone to video the tour? Your video work is very steady and for a moment I thought maybe you had a Steadicam! Great job!
You ate in the MDR?!?!?! I am shocked/gobsmacked😂😁😂
I usually do everyday! Only I think 3/4 times on this trip, loved it 😀❤️
Did you record this in Belfast I saw the seatruck panorama
That ship looks totally beyond amazing! The only hope I have is that it somehow comes down to Australia.
One day 😀🙏
Hi we are from Australia. And are booked on her sister ship celebrity Eclipse to sail 14 nights Sydney to New Zealand return to Sydney in November 2022. Looking forward to being at sea. We loved her sister ship the Solstice Regards. Andrew. Also kind regards to Emma she is a treasure
@@andrewnewman1248 ah Sydney.

What a fantastic video. Thank you so much. I love everything about it!
You're very kind! Thank you! 😁❤️
I would love the library and the pools
Yessss, huge pools! :)
Where is the pool deck located in relation to the poop deck?
(I apologize for the bad attempt at humour)
Hi Emma, from your experience, do the third and forth person in the same cabin pay the same fare with the first 2 people? Or they pay less for the cruise? Thanks.
Depends on the cruise line, some charge the same but you’ll often get deals with ‘3rd and 4th guest half price’ 😀👍🏼
We're looking at possible future cruises. One is on Celebrity Silhouette, so we watched your video. one question, you described the library as a "book exchange type thing". Is the entire library a book exchange, or is only part of it a book exchange and the rest a regular library?
I just booked it ....they just released single supplement fee waived on certain voyages
Wow looks nice too on board Silhouette though I think the ship that is due to come to Australia eventually when they can get to will be the Eclipse she will be like this ship you are on there
So nice’ 😀❤️
If the Eclipse is as nice as the Silhouette I would be keen to fly from NZ to Australia to sail on her as I’ve never tried Celebrity cruises as yet. We are forever hopeful that cruising will resume again at some stage down under here once both our governments allow this.
Fingers crossed for you 😁🙏
@@bronniehanlon2366 neither have I tried Celebrity Cruises before and fingers and toes crossed for cruising to come here in Australia too
Emma, I am going to ask all of the YT cruise posters about this, but you being younger, may have more insight into it:
3 questions:
How do you get the time off work to take as many cruises as you do?

And yes, my brain works this way! ;-)
Haha!! That’s a good one. How would I describe it, tricky!! 😅❤️
@@EmmaCruises I agree that it would be hard to describe. It might be too fundamental a difference between British and American cultures. Perhaps it doesn't need to be explained, just appreciated instead!
I think the closest American equivalent of lovely would be "nice." Or maybe just "good" or "great." That's a nice cup of tea, a great sunset, etc.
@@zoghart They are close but I don't think any of those have the same connotation. It's fascinating how the same language can be so different!
Is Cafe el Baccio complimentary ?
A few years ago my wife and I did a celebrity cruise around the Baltic. We paid to eat in the restaurant and did so for all our meals except lunch which we had on trips or in the main buffet. During one evening meal a waiter suggested we may like to try one of the other smaller speciality restaurants; would we have had to pay extra if we had a meal in one of the speciality restaurants? Sorry, I've now seen more of your video, yes we would have had to pay extra.
Cruise ships are coming back to dundee scotland, think its a starting point rather than visiting for the day. But its kl to see them, I'm scared of being on open water, so see it through your channel
Yesss, thank you 😀❤️
We love to see it
Thank you! 😁❤️
My bucket list it Celebrity Edge with Capt Kate and Bug 🐱
Did they play any modern music in any of the bars or just old stuff?
All modern 😀🥳
My wife and I went on this ship in 2015.
Did you miss the Martini Bar on your tour?
I have never been on a cruise before and I have started watching these videos to try and convince myself to book one... from what I've gathered the majority of space on these ships is used to just sit around and eat? With some more sitting in-between the sitting... I remain unconvinced that these are going to be engaging and fun holidays! 🤣🤣 Good video mind you!
Haha!! You need to check out a big Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line ship if you want lots of stuff (check out my Encore tour). Celebrity are designed for relaxing 😀❤️
I'm not a restaurant person and you're right that more and more of the ships are restaurants or some sort of eateries. Ships used to have more venues to meet, mingle, drink, dance and the deck spaces used to have less on them so you can look at the sea more but filling them up with revenue enhancements and rented space is how the cruise lines make more money. There is entertainment in the show lounge, there are activities that you may or may not find interesting like games and trivia. But what I most enjoyed was the lounge atmosphere where there were people dancing. Also, the pool areas can be lively at times. There are spa areas that really try to take your money with their "services." And the ever present Park West galleries are part of pretty much every cruise line.
Celebrity started with one specialty dining room on the Millennium class but the Solstice class brought in a lot more. The Century class had more meet and mingle and dance areas and no specialty restaurants. I feel I had my best food on the Century class and best time. I liked the Century class ships best and think the Edge ships are the worse ships as they have no Sky Lounge, no library, no card room, and even more restaurants. They have a space called Eden that's like another show area where the performers are part of the scene that some people love. But they also have yet another restaurant, for-pay restaurant, there as well.
I love cruising!
Yaassss
I like celebrity mediterranean itineraries more then royal but celebrity doesn’t have much for kids. So I will have to lean more toward royal
Emma Cruises is THE best Cruise channel.
Apparently someone invented the "bottom up" kegerator in 2007?!? How am I seeing this for the first time in 2021?!?!
what did you record this on!?
Mostly a DJ Osmo pocket 2, why? (Little bit of IPhone) 😀
@@EmmaCruises I want to start recording my trips better and a clunky GoPro is to bug how do you like the osmo?
I love love love the osmo, I used to use a go pro too but the battery wouldn’t last long, it would overheat and I got fed up. The dj lasts for days and it’s so tiny. Love it 😀❤️
You make me want to sail on her, Emma.
Yessss! That’s the aim ❤️😀
i would like to know can you get cigarettes or tobacco on board
$249?
Please tell me they kept the Martini Bar....lol
Yes! All the footage I filmed there was so flashy I worried I might hurt the eyes of viewers so didnt include it 🤣🤣🤣

Watching this video, thinking this all looks like the Celebrity ship I cruised on... and then look at the ship name and realized it was the very ship we were on 😜😜 we cruised in 2020, just before the ‘rona shut things down
Hahah!! That’ll be it 🤣❤️
I have a video of your ship you are onboard going up Belfast lough want to see it
LOL...at minute 9:00 - 9:03, perfect irony when you say "a trendy place to be" as a man is passed out in the chair. 🙂
Yeah Emma - what's up with the carrots?
Its just a plant pot but made me laugh 😂😂😃
