Day 1 – Southampton to Dover

Arrived at 3pm for a 6pm departure, we go through the terminal, showed our passport and boarding pass on the app, health checks including PCR results and before we knew it we are were being welcome onto the ship by the friendliest bunch of people ever.. no waiting no delays altogether it took around 12 mins.

Because of the Covid issues, there were excellent procedures in place to keep everyone safe, sanitizers, masks, social distancing, and limited capacity, only 1000 guests on a 2300 capacity ship. Everyone abided by the rules, without feeling too restricted, masks were worn when moving around inside the ship, only 4 in a lift with 2 meters between you.

We were directed to our Deluxe Stateroom with balcony in Aquaclass, which comes with some nice privileges. Including Blu restaurant, Jasmine Gardens with hotbeds and sauna. My first impression of the ship was wow!!! It’s amazing, incredible, the attention to detail is on point and it showed. We unpacked and went roaming around the ship. The Celebrity Silhouette® is impressive, with chic upgrades to the iconic Lawn Club, space to relax, and socialize in the fresh sea air, plus the Lawn Club Grill offers an interactive outdoor grilling experience. After a day of adventure you can unwind in your own cabana-styled haven at The Alcoves. 85% of the ship’s luxurious staterooms are enhanced by sweeping veranda views. Celebrity Cruises have created an extraordinary vacation experience.

Time for cocktails at one of 12 bars and dinner at Blu. Aqua Class guests’ exclusive complimentary restaurant, superb!!! There are 14 dining locations including 6 speciality restaurants including my favour Murano (French) Featuring tableside cooking and flambé dishes, the à la carte menu consists of four courses (appetisers, soups and salads, entrées and desserts) whilst the Five Senses tasting menu comprises of six courses paired with wine and designed to stimulate your senses. Book into a suite and all of these are included. Stay tuned for the next part of this adventure>>

Day 11 – Dyson Airwrap™ styler copper gift edition

Todays pick is the amazing Dyson Airwrap™ styler exclusive copper gift edition from boots

Dyson Airwrap™ styler in exclusive copper and silver, with Dyson presentation case and copper-edged storage bag

Engineered for multiple hair types, the Dyson Airwrap Hair Styler Complete includes all Dyson Airwrap styler attachments to curl, wave, smooth and dry multiple hair types without extreme heat.

Powered by the Dyson digital motor V9
Its 13-blade impeller spins at up to 110,000rpm, generating 3.2kPa of pressure – enough to create the Coanda effect.

No extreme heat
Intelligent heat control measures airflow temperature over 40 times a second and regulates heat, to ensure it always stays below 150°C.

Styles and dries simultaneously
The Dyson Airwrap styler combines powerful airflow with controlled heat, to dry and style your hair from damp – with no extreme heat.

Attracts and wraps hair, using air
The Coanda effect attracts hair to the barrel, then wraps it for you. No clamping, gloves or awkward winding mechanisms. Just voluminous curls and waves.

Voluminous curls or waves
The Dyson Airwrap styler uses air to curl, creating voluminous curls and waves.

A smooth, blow-dry finish
The smoothing brushes harness the Coanda effect to attract hair to the surface of the brush, propelling air along the strands, to mimic a stylist’s blow-dry technique.

Included attachments:
30mm Airwrap barrels. Create and set voluminous curls or waves. With clockwise and anti-clockwise barrels for symmetrical curls.
40mm Airwrap barrels. Create and set loose curls or waves. With clockwise and anti-clockwise barrels for symmetrical curls.
Firm smoothing brush. Creates a straighter style with less frizz and fewer flyaways (versus untreated hair). With firm bristles engineered to control unruly, frizz-prone hair.
Soft smoothing brush. Creates a smooth, blow-dry finish. With soft, ball-tip bristles engineered to be gentle on the scalp.
Round volumising brush. Directs air into the hair to give body, and the bristles create tension to shape hair as it dries.
Pre-styling dryer. Takes hair from wet to damp, ready for styling.
Storage case. Protects and neatly stores your Dyson Airwrap styler and attachments. Finished in tan, cushioned with soft fabric, and secured by a magnetic clasp.
