Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Reviews for Senior to Italy

A little bit about ourselves first. Me and my husband are seasoned cruisers, approx 20 so far with the last 8 being on the s class ships. We travelled with my sister and brother in law - cruise virgins. Embarkation was a breeze we were on board by 11.30, no long queues, checked in at the muster station and then dropped off hand luggage in our staterooms. We had adjoining staterooms deck 8 just ...

We chose this cruise for its itinerary, our Steward, Waiter, Assistant Waiter and Sommelier where brilliant considering the amount of tables/cabins they had to cover, however they were let down by the choice and standard of food in the Main Dining Room, choices for starters usually 2 or 3 Salads 2 types of Soups and Snails and Shrimp Cocktail. Main courses not much better and frequently the food ...

We hadn’t cruised for some years due to COVID and illness and decided to take this no-fly itinerary on ship we last cruised on in 2015 after a number of previous Celebrity cruises. Our overall impression was that the ship was much more crowded than on past cruises and this was most evident in the Ocean View Cafe and the sun decks where finding a sun bed proved an almost impossible task, despite ...

After around 20 cruises, this was our first Med. - and our last. The Silhouette which we had been on twice before was very crowded, I believe the passenger capacity has been increased and it showed. Full sunloungers, extremely difficult to get a seat in the evening and constantly running the gamut of the numerous motorised scooters - not wheelchairs I must add. More smokers than I have ever ...

Started writing this review mid way through the cruise as a way of managing my disillusionment, which will give you some idea of how bad it was. tl:dr version - horrified at how far celebrity has fallen, won't be coming back. For context this was our 3rd time with Celebrity. And it will be our last. I noticed a theme with these cruisecritic reviews, but dismissed it (as we had already ...

We had serious concerns about the drop in standards due to covid cut backs after our 2022 cruise but as we had booked this 2023 cruise we were hoping that things had significantly improved. However based on the issues below that have been reported to celebrity directly, we will not be cruising with them again: 1) Quality of white wines specifically and standard champagne were atrociously bad. I ...

We chose this cruise as friends had been on it Before and said how good it was. Having done many previous cruises with Royal Caribbean, Princess, P&O, Carnval and the first ever withThomson (Tui-now Marella), I was expecting exciting things: believing that Celebrity were the 5* cruise line (out of the Carnival owned ships). Currently onboard and whilst aspects of the cruise are good, there are ...

My wife and I are fans of Celebrity, they just know what they're doing when it comes to cruising, service etc, usually that is! This cruise we felt Celebrity may have bitten off more than they could chew - so many kids set the crew up for a difficult set of circumstances. I'm sure the security guys were glad to see the back of (some) of the kids. That along with some bumpy weather, this ...

I'll apologise now if this is a long review but it has to be said. This was our 5th Celebrity cruise and the 2nd on The Silhouette. We love the Celebrity brand and have only ever cruised with them. I often read reviews and realise that SOME people exaggerate. I hope to give it a fair and balanced review. First the good points ! Stateroom fine 1245 on Deck 10 Concierge. Near the lifts but not ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary paying full price at the start of the year, first time ever cruising so expected to be wowed! Our room is clean and comfortable and we have no complaints there. The main pool area is in my mind ‘Benidorm on Sea’ loud, packed like sardines next to each other and with children dominating the very small pool. People reserving beds. ...
