My wife and I cruised March 9-16, 2014 on the Celebrity Silhouette with our 16 year old son on a Western Caribbean cruise. It was our fourth time sailing with Celebrity. We had cruised on the Celebrity Solstice in 2011, the refurbished Celebrity Summit in 2012 and the Celebrity Reflection in 2013. We had high expectations before going and this cruise was our best ever.
Embarkation: We arrived at the Port Everglades at 11:00 am and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. We were unable to preregister online because of a technical glitch and we were still on the ship in 30 minutes.
Ship: The Celebrity Silhouette is an ultra-chic, state-of-the-art ship that incorporates elegance, functionality and a touch of class on every level. It is well laid-out. The food is at the aft or back (the Grand Cuvée Main Dining Room on the 3rd and 4th level, the Tuscan Grille, Blu, Qsine and Murano on the 5th level, the Oceanview Café on the 14th level), the money is in the middle (shops, art gallery and casino) and the entertainment is at the front (Silhouette Theater on the 4th and 5th deck, Celebrity Central on the 4th level).
Our cabin was 7272 and located midship on the starboard side on deck 7, just around the corner from the Hideaway Lounge and the elevators. The bed was comfortable, there was plenty of storage space and the room was well designed. We enjoyed sitting on our balcony, reading a book and looking out at the beautiful, blue ocean.
