What do us brits want ?

Celebrity cruises are soon to have their ship the Silhouette sailing out of Southampton for the the first time ever. What is it that the Brit’s look for on their cruise ships ?

Everyone has their favourites but it appears there are just some things that we cannot or do not want to do without.
Obviously the convenience of sailing out of the UK and avoiding the bustling airports is a huge plus but this depends on where you want to get to.The other touches we like are Afternoon tea, British pubs,traditional food like Sunday dinners,British chefs , British entertainers and comedy acts.

What we really love to make our cruises more comfortable are tea and coffee making facilities in cabins , the right tea bag and also condiments , HP sauce , mint sauce and tomato sauce

surprised ????

Celebrity are looking into making changes ready for her new home. The tweaks they are hoping to make although not confirmed yet are tea and coffee making facilities in cabins. This is huge for us Brits as some people cannot function until we have that morning cuppa and whilst most of our hotels in the UK offer this, it isn’t an American thing.

They are also looking into getting a decent selection of English teas on board , a wider selection of beers, gins and mixers. English condiments , such as Marmite, HP and colman’s mustard and HP sauce; and a curry night. I’m sure this list could go on and on then could get quite complicated with the north and south divide of different food habits. We have it here at cruise.co.uk ..

An area on the ship they are looking at maybe extending is the Cafe Bacio this is because Americans like to grab and go where is Brits like to sit down and drink our brew.

Something my husband will be very pleased about is English bacon planned to be served at breakfast.

If you wanted to sail with Celebrity before but missed the English tweaks then now is your chance. Celebrity are one of my favourite cruise lines and I think these touches are great touches.

What do you think about Celebrity Silhouette being tweaked for Brits?
