My husband and I had a great New Year's cruise on the Silhouette. We had an aqua class guarantee and were assigned a great location only a few doors down from the relaxation room.
Ship: The ship is beautiful, new, clean, and well designed. I love the S class ships. The differences on the Silhouette did not impact me one way or the other. The alcoves do block the grass, but not in a significant way. The adult only solarium remains my favorite spot. This cruise had tons of children (expected on a holiday week), yet we were able to find a quiet lounger in the solarium to read, relax, and swim. They have figured out how to do an indoor pool with the traditional chlorine smell. There is also something about having the air-conditioning while lying by the pool that I enjoy.
Service: The service on the ship was excellent in all aspects.
