We love the Solstice Class ships having cruised twice in the Caribbean on the Solstice. So when friends suggested we do a cruise in the Med on the Silhouette we jumped at the opportunity. The Silhouette is the latest in a fine line of ships with a few improvements. The staterooms are well thought out with adequate storage for a reasonable amount of stuff. Raising the beds slightly makes it easy to store your luggage once you have unpacked. And the beds are actually comfortable! With the verandas they are almost roomy.

Embarkation and disembarking were handled very smoothly. The port for Rome is a good 90 minutes north from Rome so be sure to visit your Roll Call to find a group to share the costs. Celebrity has really worked to make disembarking less of a pain and it showed. Depending on your hotel location in Venice getting to the ship takes some planning. However bus service to / from the airport is reasonably priced. And Piazza Roma where the buses arrive is adjacent to the People Mover (train) which will take you to the port or from the ship.

The Silhouette's public spaces are warm and inviting. They provide various options for enjoying a drink before dinner with friends, listening to the various musical groups, or to find a space to curl up with a good book. There is something for everyone so go explore. The elevators move guests between decks with a minimum of wait time. And if you are on decks 6 or 7 the stairs offer a reasonable alternative.
