PERSONAL-- I am mid-50s and traveled with a friend on this cruise. We have both cruised quite a bit, and appreciate Celebrity's style.
EMBARCATION-- The lines moved, the staff was courteous, and we were on board in matter of minutes. Since we arrived around 1:00 PM, we were able to drop our carry-ons in our cabin and enjoy a buffet lunch. A nice way to start the cruise! Our luggage was delivered to our cabin by 3:00 PM.
SHIP OVERALL-- I had sailed on a few Solstice-class ships before. This is a beautiful class of ships, with gracious public spaces, a nice variety of dining rooms and options, and attractive cabins. The Silhouette is maintained perfectly, and was festively decorated for Christmas.
