BACKGROUND
We are a mid-50's couple from New Jersey looking for a winter getaway. This was our third time sailing the Silhouette to the Caribbean. The first was out of Bayonne (12-night Southern) and the second was a Western Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale in January 2013 so we had previous cruises to which we could compare this most recent one.
HOTEL PRE-STAY and TRANSPORTATION TO SHIP
I loved our cabin. In good condition. Never had a problem with anything except the safe issue which was resolved. We heard heavy walking above our heads early in the morning. The cabin is directly below the beauty salon and the walkway to the fitness center. The cabin is located RIGHT across from the elevators and super convenient to the stairs (up one flight to the Aqua Spa Cafe). I often ran up for a bite to eat in the cabin on the balcony for lunch.There is a small issue with a slight obstruction of the view up on the balcony because the window washing equipment is right above the balcony and when it's on, the spray soaks the chairs and table and floor. But they all dried quickly.My only issue with the cabin is that the couch is wicked uncomfortable.
