Any differences Equinox and Silhouette?

[LMaxwell]

Are there any significant differences between Equinox and Silhouette?  Looking to book Silhouette for this fall; recently on EQ and really liked that ship

Silly was revolutionized. Equinox only partly revolutionized. Equinox Retreat sun deck not accessible and no water feature. If you are not in a suite, very little difference in ships.

Equinox has the glass blowing area ; in that area Silhouette has Lawn Club Restaurant and The Porch

Good catch. I seem to never remember the two dining places on Silly that Equinox does not have.

The Lawn Club Grill and The Porch are the main reasons I would choose the Silhouette or Reflection over any other S-Class ship, if I have the choice. 👍

The Silhouette has a lot more furniture at the sunset bar as the grass was removed at the sides. The Equinox still has the grass at the sides I believe.

Silhouette is definitely a better choice because of the Lawn Club and the Porch specialties.

May try one out.  Silhouette is just what's available for the dates of travel.  Sounds like everything I liked about Equinox and then some.

Equinox still has the good "Card/Game/Puzzle Room" overlooking the "grand foyer," on Deck 9.  To generate more revenue -- thus taking some fun out of cruising for certain people -- "X" replaced Silhouette's card room with four  interior staterooms.  We can't recall if those four new cabins are for single travelers or not.

Yes those are the solo inside cabins. Agree with others that I really enjoy the Porch and LCG on Silhouette.

I've sailed Constellation, Summit, Equinox, Silhouette and Reflection.  I prefer Silly and Reflection because of the Lawn Club Grill and The Porch, as well as the larger Sunset Bar seating.  They are all my favorite class of Celebrity ships.  The Connie and Summit have their charms, but nothing beats the fabulous quality of the Lawn Club!

Also cabins replaced the iLounge on deck 6.

Thanks for mentioning this, "upwarduk."  We were unaware of it.  Does this mean that there is no longer any iLounge at all on Silhouette ... or has the iLounge just been moved to a different part of the ship (possibly much decreased in size, due to lowered usage)?  This is important to us, because we do not have any "devices" of our own, so we have always relied on iLounges on "X" ships for access to the Internet.

But for winter 2023 the Equinox only is doing the ABC islands.

Now you’ve answered the question I asked myself last night which is why oh why did I book Equinox instead of Silhouette for March!

The iLounge is now on deck 5 on the port side. Expensive shops are on the Starboard side( jewellery etc).

More specialty dining options on Silhouette. We enjoyed the lawn club grill very much!
