BACKGOUND: We are fairly experienced cruisers (all seniors in our 60s) having sailed on 20 cruises (and 1 River Cruise) on various cruise lines (RCL, NCL, Carnival, Celebrity and Princess). This was our 3rd Celebrity cruise. We traveled with another couple who are good friends and long time cruising companions. We enjoy cruising in the winter to get away from cold and snow. And this year was a great escape from a horrible winter!

HOTEL: We arrived a day early and stayed pre-cruise at Spring Hill Suites. Great Choice! We enjoyed the free shuttle to hotel and the next day to cruise port. The free breakfast was also good and offered a nice variety. Rooms were clean and appeared updated. The 4 of us said we would definitely stay there again.

SHIP INFORMATION: Ship is in great condition and layout was jut like the Silhouette. It is very tastefully appointed and very easy to navigate. We arrived around 11am and was on board in about 15 min. Rooms were not ready so we made our way to the Oceanview Café for lunch followed by a quick tour of the ship. Read more
