We were very pleased with our cruise on the Celebrity Reflection in 2015, but our 2016 sail on the Silhouette was a little disappointing, to be honest, for a few reasons.

Embarkation was super quick and easy. We were on the boat about 30 minutes after getting to the terminal. Our rooms were ready very quickly. Even though it was a quick turnaround from the last cruise, our room was spotless. Our bags arrived very soon after.
