cruisewmn Posted December 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Midway through our holiday cruise and happy to report that the Silhouette ship and crew are simply fantastic. The ship is beautifully decorated for the holidays and well maintained. Carpet looks fresh, no wear and tear to be seen, balcony railings freshly finished. It looks like a new ship. The crew has been terrific. Friendly and professional. We're in a suite and are thrilled with our butler, Dragos. He's by far the best butler we've met on any of our cruises. I have severe food allergies and he's gone out of his way to make sure I have snacks and meals that are not only safe, but delicious. We are really enjoying Shaun Brown and the Badness - great blues/R&B band. 80's night last night was also a lot of fun. We're not really into shows, but there is so much entertainment on board that we've kept busy. Most of our dinners have been in specialty restaurants. High marks all around. Lunches at The Porch have been outstanding. The Branzino is superb. Celebrity handles food allergies amazingly well. The food is safe AND flavorful -- a rare combination. Only Disney rivals Celebrity in creating great allergy friendly cuisine. It's so nice to go out and dine without fear and still truly enjoy your meal. We've sailed on Celebrity many times and were a little worried that it wouldn't feel "fresh" and wouldn't live up to our memories/expectations. The opposite is true. This cruise has exceeded our expectations. If you're looking at sailing on the Silhouette, you should have a great cruise!

cruisewmn Posted December 27, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Also should add: the wifi has been fast, even while using a VPN. Alcoves are great and worth the expense. Champagne now included in the at-sea day rate [emoji2] Officers are out and about meeting guests. Very visible and approachable. Crew in general is smiling, happy, and kind. What more could you ask for! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are in a suite, can you comment on Michael's and the service, flexibility of beverages, and the concierge? Also, any thoughts about your cabin?

Your perception of its' size, spaciousness, storage, bathroom, etc.... would be appreciated. Scanditaly Having stayed in all S-Class categories except for the Celebrity Suite, I can say that all have provided excellent storage and spaciousness. We tend to book RS level suites because we have an adult son who often travels with us. The extra half bath in the RS is a plus, but closet space in all categories of suite have been sufficient.

Your perception of its' size, spaciousness, storage, bathroom, etc.... would be appreciated. Scanditaly In regards to Michael's Club and the concierge, we used shoreside concierge (Carrie for the Silhouette) to prebook all of our specialty dining and in room beverage requests. Carrie was fantastic and everything was in place when we boarded the ship. Niko in Michael's Club has been attentive, however, we prebooked almost everything. We tend to only go to Michael's Club for coffee/tea/ or the occasional cocktail. The staff would provide more services, we just don't require them.

Cruise a holic Posted December 29, 2017 #22 Share Posted December 29, 2017 While we enjoy all of the Celebrity ships, the Silhouette and reflection are our favorites. We love the lawn grill and the alcoves. Our next cruise will be on the Eclipse, but in March on the silhouette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
