It was our third cruise with Celebrity and we've never used anyone else at this stage because I've never been convinced that there is better value or service to be had, and we've certainly researched them all! We came straight from an Arctic expedition out of Svalbard where we basically wore the same clothes everyday onto the luxury of the Silhouette. We love adventure and travel and we love the pampering from time to time and that's certainly available on Silhouette. We had a fantastic corner suite on the 9th at the rear of the vessel that had a side porthole and a rear balcony.

Prior voyages on Celebrity have been in the inside passage from Vancouver to Alaska on Millennium I think and the Mediterranean on board Celebrities newer vessel Reflection. Both different and both fantastic.
