Reflection- 5th S Class

[hcat]

There's an extra row of staterooms on each deck of Silhouette compared to the first 3 in this class.

 

I think I mis- understood this post when it was made-- Is this true?

That would up the numbers of pax.. have to check the deck plans!

The Silhouette is supposed to be some 50 feet longer or so then the first three so the extra passengers will have additional common space. We're not taling about HAL/Princess here where they build an extra deck of passenger cabins w/o any additional common space.

Yep, it's true. For easy reference look at where 1663 is on Eclipse vs. Silhouette (Penthouse Deck).

Per the official Celebrity website, the first 3 Solstice ships are 1,033 feet long and hold 2,850 passengers. The Silhouette is 1,146 feet long, an increase of 113 feet but adds just 36 passengers for a total of 2,886. Even more spacious then the first three ships.

Yeah well the length listed is a mistake because she is not actually longer, she is going to be the same as the other sisters, 317.20 meters. The extra rooms are going to be added to the end of each of the upper balcony decks which will only make the upper superstructure stick out by a few more feet. Because this is above, and the stern is below and aft of this the length of the ship is not affected because the addition will not go past the block area where the Blu and Tuscan Grille restaurants are...It will still be above and forward of this area, just not as far forward as Solstice, Equinox, and Eclipse.

Gonzo,

 

Any particular "new features" you would like to see.

 

Anybody else want to chime in.

 

Yes--decent closet & drawer space! And real bedside tables with drawers.

As of this time, the Mercury rates 4.5 stars, while the S class rates 5.5 stars. I am reminded of the aphorism-"You get what to pay for". By the way, the Equinox prices out of Lauderdale are not bad.

Oh..oh...oh I know...

 

How about water slides on the top deck :D

 

Maybe they can add a zipline from the stack to the bow too :eek:

 

Oh..wait I have a brillant idea...how about a separate toilet and shower so that the sink can be placed in the room?

 

Oh yeah .... I forgot ..... those ideas have already been done before....

Never mind.....:o

[Mr. Luckytoo]

All kidding aside how about a 16 hour deli on board - something like a Subway. It would serve breakfast sandwiches in the morning and subs/fresh sandwiches in the afternoon and pizza until midnight as well.

It could also have custom made salads! You'd only need 2 people to run it - like a Subway.

 

Call it Xpress - have it Your way! :cool:

Although I'm sure the higher-ups at Celebrity have known the Reflections name for a while, Celebrity seems to like "officially" announcing ship's names during these type of events.

 

I had the opportunity of informing the officers on board Summit on the 24th after getting my email notice. Everyone had been kept in the dark... :rolleyes:

Very interesting re: the new specs on the Silhouette and Reflection. I had no idea they would be longer than the other three ships. The S-class ships already feel so much more spacious than their Princess/HAL counterparts, I trust that this adjustment won't adversely impact that feeling. I, too, am intrigued by the new additions alluded to in the press release. I did wonder where they would put all that new "stuff", but the longer ship answered that question!

The first three S class ships which are 1033 feet long hold 2,850 passengers. The 4 Super-Grand Princess ships hold 3,100 passengers and are 951 feet long. Do the math. And the final two S class ships will be as long as the RCI Freedom class but hold less then 2,900 passengers.

 

As the long as the pricing is reasonable we will be aboard the Silhouette when it sails from Beautiful Downtown Bayonne :D:eek::D in 2011.

I love the name

Yes, I know that the S-class ships are longer, and bigger. I have sailed the S-class and Princess Super-Grands several times so am pretty well-acquainted with the ships and aware of the specs. ;) Ship layout, passenger flow, and number of passengers all significantly impact the feel of a ship. That's what I was getting at: the first 3 S-class ships feel so spacious and uncrowded, I'm sure Silhouette and Reflection will follow in that manner. Looking forward to sailing them.
