Have just returned from a beautiful cruise aboard the Celebrity Silhouette. We travelled from the UK to Venice with Jet2. No problems with flight. Easy transfer to port with Celebrity transfers. However, when we arrived to check-in, the queue was very long and a bit confusing, with passengers having to drop off their luggage at one place and then joining the long queue to embark. I think the whole process took about 1 & 1/2 hours. The staff didn't seem to be bothered about some passengers who should have had priority check-in, they were just ushered to join the 'ordinary' passengers. Once on board, we were welcomed with a glass of 'bubbly'. We made our way to the Ocean view buffet for lunch, which was surprisingly quiet. By the time we had eaten lunch, we were able to go to our cabins. Luggage arrived about an hour later. The cabins were immaculate and remained that way throughout the cruise.

We ate in the Tuscan Grill on the first night, as we were on late seating in the MDR, and after an early start, we didn't want a late night and we also had an early excursion the next day. We were offered a discount in the Tuscan and had a very nice meal in there, although there was too much.

I got the impression throughout the cruise that the speciality restaurants were not very busy, because there was always someone asking you to dine and offering discounts.

Cabin Review

Lovely clean cabin, towards the back of the ship.
