cruzemaven Posted July 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This cruise was great! Service on the ship was outstanding. Food was wonderful. Most of the entertainment was entertaining. We have no complaints about anything except that it ended! Be happy to answer any specific questions about our cruise which went from Rome to Venice in 12 wonderful days.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no complaints about anything except that it ended! Be happy to answer any specific questions about our cruise which went from Rome to Venice in 12 wonderful days.:) Did you experience any delays arriving at any of your ports due to the propulsion slowdown that Silhouette is experiencing? It seems to be a small slowdown but some of us have gotten notification that some of our port times are changing slightly due to the issue...

Scarlet and grey Posted July 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Glad to hear everything was good. I get tired of reading so many negative reports before we sail the Silhouette in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis2 Posted July 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2014 We went on the Silhouette last year and absolutely loved every second of it, in fact loved it so much we have booked next year with Celebrity on the Constellation. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave9898 Posted July 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi, my husband and I are due on Sillhouette in September sailing from Rome. A previous poster stated that there were very few men in DJ's on formal nights. As he prefers to blend in with the crowd rather than stand out, would I be better packing a normal suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifimonkey Posted July 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi, my husband and I are due on Sillhouette in September sailing from Rome. A previous poster stated that there were very few men in DJ's on formal nights. As he prefers to blend in with the crowd rather than stand out, would I be better packing a normal suit Plenty of DJ's on Rome cruise on Silhouette last October but it seems from reading posts on CC to vary cruise to cruise. Possibly, and this is an impression not a piece of scientific analysis, there seem to be more reports of formal wear being popular on Med cruises than Caribbean ones. If your husband is uncomfortable in a DJ and only wears it to fit in then go with the suit but I am sure there will be plenty enough others in DJ's that he will not stand out if you go that way.

scifimonkey Posted July 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Forgive my ignorance but is DJ a tux? LOL. Just curious. :-) Correct, in UK it's a Dinner Jacket ( DJ). Just another glitch in our supposedly common language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a small slowdown but some of us have gotten notification that some of our port times are changing slightly due to the issue... We were in every port at the scheduled time. We even sailed into Venice on time...no slow down problems at all. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A previous poster stated that there were very few men in DJ's on formal nights. As he prefers to blend in with the crowd rather than stand out, would I be better packing a normal suit There was quite a variety of attire on formal nights. Many were wearing ties and jackets and some were wearing tuxedoes. Our men wore just sport jackets no ties.

Our itinerary stated a 9am arrival and we began sailing into the Grand Canal around 7:15 am which is a fabulous sight to behold.

DebbieMacG Posted July 30, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Glad you had a great cruise :) My daughter is on Silhouette at the moment, they were supposed to leave Santorini today at 5pm but were told yesterday they would be staying an extra hour until 6pm, therefore no shortening of port time at all (they were due to arrive at 7am and leave at 5pm but arrived at 8am and left at 6pm) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used a private transfer so I didn't notice the availability of Taxies. However, I am sure that there must be many since there are several large cruise ships arriving and departing Venice.

scotslizzy Posted July 31, 2014 #22 Share Posted July 31, 2014 We were in the Caribbean in Feb on-board Equinox and really enjoyed Sin City but wondered if this would still be on for the Med sailings. Thanks Scotslizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I will be on the Silhouette in a couple of weeks sailing the same itinerary. If you happen to be in contact with her, could you find out when they scheduled the formal nights? I know that one of them is usually the 2nd night,but we are in port late that day. It would help our planning of specialty restaurants, etc. Thanks so much!

SeaWatch Posted July 31, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I am not sure why the negative reviews came about - for me, the 12 day Med trip was as close to perfect as could be. We are excited to be booked on her March, 2015 :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
