Celebrity Silhouette

Review of Celebrity Silhouette ABC Islands

February

Pros: Excellent and polite staff. Direct and complete directions from point A to point B. Information well distributed. Follow up and communications good.

Cons: Housekeeping needs improvement. Distribution with private party events extremely poor. Catering to specific groups self absorbed and tackless. Too short of time from dock to board on 2 out of 3 islands. Unable to hear announcements and captain in your staterooms.

Recommended: No

First Time Sailing with Celebrity on the Silhouette

September

Pros: Beautiful ship. Friendly staff. Nice, clean cabin w/balcony. Lots of fun things to do on Sea days.

Cons: Can't think of any cons.

Recommended: Yes

We really enjoyed our first time cruising with Celebrity. A bonus for us was this was a Boston to Boston cruise. Since we are only a little over an hour away from the port, it was a convenient location.

Fantastic voyage around Iceland

August

Pros: Stunning views and magnificent sites.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Great service on the ship. With the Silohette everything is where you would expect it to be as a sister ship to ones I had been on before such as the Soltice(many times) and the Eqinox. Staff are friendly and the service in Blu is fantastic.

Great cruise

February

Pros: Excellent food and service

Cons: No chairs at pool. Just loungers. Not everyone can sit on a loumger.

Wonderful ship

Amazing people work on this ship!

December

Pros: Every person who worked on the ship, the ship was clean and bright, the rooms were great,the music and dance shows were fantastic

Cons: The stop at Nassau was disappointing. Felt uncomfortable and dirty

Recommended: Yes

I thought everything was great. Every person involved in the cruiseline was wonderful. They were friendly and kind and never to busy to help. I would say the desserts could be a little better, but if they had been I probably would have gained more than I did. Loved the Key West stop but not the stop in Nassau

Overall Great but there are some things they should be better at

July

Pros: The staff, entertainment and activities on board were wonderful.

Cons: Their management of the excursions was not good. It stunned us that they were so bad at this given that that's such a large part of what they do.

Recommended: Yes

For the most part, the Silhouette, even thought it's a big ship (at least to me) was great. The entertainment was varied and really good. They had lots of activities all day and all night. The thing they failed at, miserably, was excursion management. When they had people meet on the pier, it was chaos getting bus numbers because they refused to give them out as people arrived. At Edinburgh, one of the tender ports, there was a wait of over an hour to get a tender back to the ship after returning from a ship purchased excursion.

Celebrity Silhouette

March

Pros: Ship, staff, food, and itinerary are always consistently superior to other cruise lines.

Cons: We do not usually partake in the entertainment offered so we have no comments on that.

Recommended: Yes

Celebrity is our “go to” cruise line. We have never been disappointed and continue to book with them every year. We have sailed to four continents with them. Asia, Australia, and Antarctica are left to conquer!

Have Realistic Expectations

February

Pros: Newly remodeled rooms, comfortable beds, smaller size ship, attentive room stewards.

Cons: No Retreat pool, with the exception of Murano and the Chef’s table most food was just ok.

Recommended: No

Have realistic expectations prior to embarking on the Silhouette. With no shade on the Retreat Sundeck and no dedicated pool, the area is virtually useless. You’ll spend most of your time in the Solarium…along with everyone else. Getting a drink by the pool takes a long time. The staff is stressed from recent company policy changes and it shows. Many times hot food wasn’t served hot and the Oceanview Cafe became a mass of steam table planned-overs from the night before. Make no mistake…this is NOT an Edge-Class ship. I would never pay Retreat prices again to sail on this class of ship. It simply isn’t worth the money.

Southern Caribbean

Pros: Staff and cleanliness

Cons: Up chargers for certain meals

Super cruise to France and Spain. Plenty to do to keep busy. Fully met and even exceeded expectations in the bar and main dining room. Always amazed that the servers at the bar know you after two visits! Everyone is well trained and friendly.

Fantastic Experience..!

February

Pros: Clean, excellent staff,

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

I had a very positive and fantastic experience on the Celebrity Silhouette. The ship was clean, well maintained and the staff was excellent. The food was great and we felt very well taken care of. When considering a future cruise, I would not hesitate to consider this ship again.

Another great cruise

January

Pros: The friendliness of the staff and guests. We loved the Blu restaurant.

Cons: The city tours that we took showed too much poverty.

Recommended: Yes

We love Celebrity! Even though I didn't give the entertainment top stars I truly understand why they were not high end. I would rather have money in my pocket than spending a lot of money on entertainment. We did not take advantage of the activities since they didn't interest us as much as sitting on the deck relaxing.

Cabin 9223 Review

December

Pros: Cleanliness of our room, and the entire ship. Service and understanding of most all employees was helpful, patient, and understanding.

Cons: Food choices, quality and preparation was poor. Cooks seemed to know how to ruin the pleasure of eating a fish. The entertainment overall was in need of improvement .

Our 25th Great Cruise on Celebrity

December

Pros: The Crew

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

The officers and crew at Celebrity are committed to an excellent experience for the passenger. They go beyond expectations. When I told a Guest Relations Officer of my interest in Pericles and the Peloponnesian War, she arranged for me to meet with an officer with whom I had an excellent conversation. Food and service, in the buffet and dining room, were good. However, three specialty restaurants were outstanding. The entertainment was good and varied. It was our first time with the cruise director, but she was certainly up to Celebrity's standards. The ports? OK, but it seems that most passengers were there for the shipboard experience.

Atlantic crossing

April

Pros: Great cruise overall

Cons: Super expensive WiFi

Recommended: Yes

Good service we have come to expect from Celebrity; beautiful cabin and great food. Entertaintment on board was a mixed bag; some good, some not too good. My only complaint is the price of Internet; outrageus.

9 night Southern Caribbean

January

Pros: Outstanding food and service, very good itinerary, ship layout is excellent. Captain's club benefits are excellent. Very little crowding on this ship - plenty of seating in public areas.

Cons: Silhouette is showing age, especially in fittings like deck chairs, which were very worn and stained - definitely should be replaced soon. We had bad weather for three days, which certainly isn't Celebrity's fault. The captain handled it very well.

Recommended: Yes

Celebrity is our favorite cruise line, and the Solstice class ships are our favorite ships. We've been on all of them several times. Despite three days of very bad weather (50 mph winds and 17 foot seas), we very much enjoyed our cruise. We didn't go to many shows, but enjoyed those we did see. Crew was excellent, particularly our waitstaff in the main dining room. We will continue to choose Celebrity as our cruise line.

First time on Celebrity, won't be our last

Celebrity provides an excellent cruise experience and cares about its customers. Embarkation and disembarkation are well organized, positive experiences. Great ports of call. Staff are super friendly and well trained. The ship provided A good array of activities, pools, spa and services. The crew are continually cleaning and sanitizing to reduce the spread of viruses and germs among passengers and crew a concern for many travelling under these circumstances. Overall, I continue to prefer this cruise provider!

Spa cafe has light breakfast & light lunch menu in a quiet, pool area. Several nice bars. Beautiful string music with isn’t particularly my thing. Good house band. Great coffee bar that is by the nightly entertainment. No crowds on elevators. We ate at buffet once and food was fresh & tasty. Very good tours, especially the one after debarking that ends up at the airport . Room service was pretty good. Loved Key West!!!!’

HAVE FUN.. BE SMART.. ASK QUESTIONS...

December

Pros: service was great

Cons: room a little shabby

Recommended: Yes

They push "DUTY FREE AND TAX FREE" shopping in the ports. According to customs, Diamonds International is not a U.S. based company and therefore not tax and duty free. People who purchased jewelry in other stores received certificates and didn't have to pay duty on their jewelry purchases. When the port shopping person was asked about the rates, he didn't give correct information. He said duty was 3% after $800. In fact it is 3% plus 5.5% jewelry tax after $1,000. If I had the correct information, I may not have purchased my ring. The salesperson in the store said "just wear it and don't worry" NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Thank you!

May

Pros: Lectures - Art & Marine Life, entertainment, movies, excursions

Cons: exorbitant charges for Wifi

Recommended: Yes

We enjoyed the cruise overall. Allen and Dr. Dave were great. We learned a lot from them and from Cat (Park West). The entertainment was very good, particularly Jennifer Singer and the violinist. Staff -- Our room steward, Noel, was excellent. The Tuscan Grill managers, David and Mazy made our dinners a charming experience and helped fix a reservation problem. The Murano food was best on the ship. Food and service in the main dining room was mediocre. Buffet was very good for breakfast and lunch. On the Wifi -- this is 2017. Wifi is more essential than a phone in the room and should be treated as such.

Excellent !

Enjoyed the cruise. Everything was as advertised except they now do not give you the Premium Drink package as a perk. You receive the Classic Package, which limits you drinks valued at up to $9 only.

Wonderful experience on the Silhouette!

April

Pros: Amazing service, clean ship, never crowded

Cons: Mediocre entertainment, limited shopping

Recommended: Yes

The Silhouette is a clean and efficiently run ship. Everything was exactly where it was supposed to be, and if it wasn't the crew fixed it within seconds. This was my 4th cruise, and the first on Celebrity, and this was by far the best service I have ever experienced. I'd go back for the service alone. I felt pampered. While there are a lot of people on board, we never had to wait more than a few minutes for anything. The only exception was the Excursion desk if you hit the wrong time. But hey, grab a beer and wait for the line to die down. Our last cruise was on the Allure of the Seas, and while the service was better on the Silhouette, the entertainment was FAR better on the Allure. This was really the only weak point of the cruise. The dining was superb. We actually liked the buffet on the Silhouette better than other ships we've been on, but at the end of the day it's just a buffet. Do breakfast and (maybe) lunch there, but don't waste dinner on it. The main dining room was superb, and they have a number of specialty restaurants to choose from as well. Our favorite was the Lawn Club Grill, where we had the best filet mignon we've ever had. But honestly, the specialty dining was better on the Allure. Altogether we loved it. It was a really great experience, and the service is second to none (in our experience). If you choose the Silhouette, you're going to be happy. Happy sailing!

It was great fun meeting our travel agent and her son. the stateroom was comfortable and ship's crew were all excellent.

Wonderful cruise overall

August

Pros: Great destinations, great specialty restaurants

Cons: Main dining room Select Dining wait staff

Recommended: No

Overall the cruise was great. Destinations were fantastic and we enjoyed them all (whether on our own our on an excursion). The specialty restaurants were fantastic. The lobster dish, in Murano, was absolutely delicious. The filet mignon in Tuscan was also very delicious and perfectly prepared. We were, however, less than impressed with the Select Dining option - this option does not allow you to get to know the wait staff and we don't believe they are as attentive when dining under that option. Our room was very nice and having the veranda on the back of the ship was quite nice.

Cruising the British Isles

Pros: Beautiful scenery everywhere you go

Cons: Not enough sea days

Celebrity Silhouette March 27, 2016

March

Pros: Crew and staff wonderful! Captain awesome, everyone looked forward to his announcements every morning. His presentation of the ships operation was full of informative and casual conversation. Truly an excellent and humorous experience.. food was over the top, have not had better on over 15 cruises. Just way too much. I felt guilty having not been able to finish. Celebrity Elite was just outrageous we didn't even know we had priority boarding. Be sure future clients know that beforehand cause at the port, they are just hearding you through and you need to have them help..

Cons: A phone call from Captains whatever, every day telling us to call if we need anything. Nice touch, but too much. Sorry the entertainment was mediocre, the Master captain was by far, the best, followed by the 2nd comedian, the first was horrible. Dancers and singers were fine, but how about a Broadway show, even an old one, like CATS. Royal Caribbean has you beat there. Days at sea were completely overly crowded. Did not want to sit nose to nose with other passengers, that is if you could have found a chair at all. I had to sit in the smoking section, just to sit. (I Don't smoke)

Recommended: Yes

Not under your control, having too many ships in port, destroyed the beauty and serenity of St. Kitts, bringing us to what must have been a beautiful beach on Cowleshell was just as bad as being on the ship, nose to nose.

Loved the Christmas cruise idea. Will go again for sure.

Great Cruise

December

Pros: Excellent food in the dining area and top notch service. Cabin attendant was friendly and helpful. Outstanding entertainment.

Cons: Restaurant Quisine was not worth $90 for two. Food so so and service was okay. Every one there was Eastern European and hard to understand. Sent back many items and the restaurant manager was a pest about why. Labadee felt like you were a hostage to the cruise line being forced to buy and do their things. Would have preferred another port rather than the cruise line's private island. All the activities there were way over priced.

Cruise to Eastern Caribbean

April

Pros: First time to cruise with Celebrity. The ship was beautiful and very well maintained. The staff was excellent in all respects. The food was well presented and good in the buffet, very good in the beautiful dining room, and excellent in the speciality restaurants.

Cons: Although the shops were beautiful, would prefer to have had a few less, to make room for more opportunities for a cocktail and music during the evening.

Recommended: Yes

The weather was terrific. We chose mid April, for warm but mainly dry weather. Every day was sunny, temperature in the upper 80's, with low humidity. Of all the stops we made, the 2 1/2 hour walking historical tour of the fort and city of San Juan (which reminds you of old New Orleans) was the most enjoyable. Although we are aware of the high crime rate in the city, there was an ample police presence and the people were very friendly, especially in the bars and shops. Choosing Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami was a vast improvement over the car traveling experience. We used Park'n Go to store our car, with a quick trip to the boat. Much less cost. Highly recommend it.

Awsome time

January

Pros: Right size ship, very clean, large room and balcany

Cons: Open dinning, short excursions

Recommended: Yes

This was our second cruise and it was way beyond what we expected. We came back with some great memories.

Overall, we had a lovely time on this cruise. The pre cruise hotel, the Monaco Grand Canal, was very convenient in terms of location and the staff were lovely. It was off the Grand Canal and close to St. Marks Square. The rooms were very small, though. Breakfast was fine. On the ship, Aqua Class is definitely worth the upgrade. You get to eat dinner each night at the time you want in the specialty restaurant, BLU for not extra charge. BLU can only seat around 130 people. The feel is more like a fine restaurant in Miami or NY. Aqua class also gives you bottled water in the room and flavored tea each day. The onboard drink package is definitely worth it even for the lighter drinkers. It includes gratuity so no thinking is required! On the first night, there is usually a special (2 for 1) for the specialty restaurants. No need to book that night in advance. Had dinner one night in the Tuscan Grill specialty restaurant for $45pp, but, did not have to. The food in BLU is special enough. The shows overall were good; the Broadway song show was the best. The comedy show very good. The final show disappointed us. It was very slow and did not feature the dancers. Celegbrity is a more elegant ship than RCCL in terms of the look, the staff and the passengers. We enjoyed our vacation very much!

Ship review-Celebrity Silhouette

July

Pros: Beautiful ship, friendly staff, good food, lots of unique eating venues.

Cons: storage in our balcony cabin was a bit tight. There were only three drawers for clothes and no shelving.

Recommended: Yes

This was our first Celebrity cruise, and we were very pleased. The ship was quite spacious. In general we never felt crowded. The entertainment, for the most part, was quite good, and a nice variety. Our two favorite shows were a Broadway review and an aerielist show. This second one was something we had never seen in all of our years of cruising.

Great cruise!
