Ports of Call and Daily Briefing
Departure Day
Day 1 - Fort Lauderdale, FL
Sunday, April 12, 2026
Board the CELEBRITY SILHOUETTE mid-day at your assigned boarding time. Ship departure from Fort Lauderdale at 4pm. (you must be aboard no later than 2:30pm!)
After boarding, enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch at the Oceanview Cafe followed by a relaxing afternoon exploring the ship or by the pool. Introductions and social time with your fellow narrators begins late afternoon with cocktail hour. Then it’s on to the evening show or the casino, followed by dinner as a group at the main restaurant, The Grand Cuvee.
Day 2 - Key West, Florida
Monday, April 13, 2026
Just the right amount of kitsch, Key West bursts with sunlight, boasts year-round tropical weather, and some of the clearest snorkeling and most preserved coral reef structures in the world. Cruises to Key West, Florida are one of the most popular ways to see this walkable, immersive city. It’s easy to feel at home in Key West among swaying palms and small fishing boats glittering off the harbor. Key West is also famously rough around the edges. Once mostly cut off from the rest of the world, it has persevered through countless hurricanes.
Mid-afternoon come back onboard for education sessions with our top audiobook coaches and producers.
Of course, the day wraps up with cocktails, free time, shipboard entertainment, and dinner together.
Day 3 - Audiobooks at Sea!
Tuesday, April 14, 2026
You won’t want to miss the breakfast buffet at Oceanview Cafe today - our sea days are the marathon days for narrators! Day 2 is filled with sessions - including individual coachings for each narrator (in a small group educational setting), and group educational sessions led by our coaches on various topics related to the business and art of narration.
Of course, the day wraps up with cocktails, free time, shipboard entertainment, and dinner together and lots of time for questions and answers from our coaches.
Day 4 - George Town, Grand Cayman
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
The deep harbor of George Town, Grand Cayman sits on the calmer west coast of the island, the largest of the Cayman archipelago. This has historically made it a welcome haven for sailing ships that had braved the Atlantic crossing from Europe.
Because Grand Cayman requires shuttle boats to go ashore from the main ship, today’s coaching sessions will offered late afternoon/early evening to allow for as much time as possible ashore.
Of course, the day wraps up with cocktails, free time, shipboard entertainment, and dinner together.
