Celebrity Silhouette Postcard #3 Dubrovnik

This post is a bit late due to problems I am having with the ships internet. There are no iLounge staff to be seen anywhere and are not back until 9:00am because it is a sea day.

Last night was our first formal night of three on the Celebrity Silhouette and once again the food and service could not be faulted. The dress code was very well adhered to by all the fellow passengers we came across.

We had a bit of a lie in this morning as we were not scheduled to arrive at Dubrovnik until midday and so it was a very leisurely breakfast around 9:00 followed by a couple of hours lying out in the sun before we made port. The shuttle provided by Celebrity cost €12 per person and run through out the day until 7:15.

The trip into the old town of Dubrovnik takes around 10 minutes and the drop off and collection point is just outside the Pile Gate.

We spent several hours wandering around Dubrovnik before eventually stopping to partake in some the local beer in a cafe just off Lucanica Luza. With 4 ships in today it was very busy in town, with us today were MSC Armonia, Costa Magica and a Silver Sea tendering in from the old port area. The area being very vuch busier than the last time we were here.

On our return there was the usual welcome back to the ship with iced flannels and cold drinks. A really nice touch that Celebrity do.
Shortly before our sail away the MSC Armonia sets sail from her precarious position under the bridge.

We have a sea day tomorrow so I will do my best to find something that might be of interest about the ship.
