My wife and I selected this cruise to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with our daughters and their family and my wife's brother and his spouse. This was the fourth time we have sailed on the Silhouette, so we knew our experience on board would be outstanding. However, what really made this particular cruise for us were the above and beyond private tours we booked with independent tour groups. ...
The itinerary was wonderful (it was our second Baltic cruise). Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience with TJ Travel for our St. Petersburg tour and definitely would not recommend them. Our guide was rude, we were constantly being rushed and we were even told by our guide to push people out of the way at various stops ... a much different experience from our previous tour with another ...
Typical Celebrity experience. One minor note is on beverage package. On Classic, they limit Martini Size to 4oz.-seriously?
All in, great experience from Cabin Steward to Specialty, to Main dining room. Nice amenities on Silhouette. Friendly staff.
Entertainment is not up to speed with NCL for example. But all other services especially food are really solid.
Embarkation and scheduling ...
My husband and I loved the itinerary, the ship, the crew, and the people we met on the cruise. It was wonderful being able to overnight in St. Petersburg and Copenhagen. The only negative was going through Passport Control in St. Petersburg but Celebrity had no control over that. It took us 1.5 hours the first day (15 minutes the second day.) We ate all of our meals in the main dining room ...
We chose this cruise as it was the only 7 night itinerary leaving from Stockholm. Living in Scotland, we did not want to travel to Southampton to sail the Baltics. It was my 7th cruise, 2nd on Celebrity, and my friends first cruise. We are two females in our late fifties.
We stayed 2 nights in Stockholm prior to the cruise. On embarkation day We travelled to the port on the number 76 bus from ...
we chose this cruise because it went to the destinations we wanted to visit. the ship was embarkation and disembarking was very easy and no stress at all, it went very smoothly..
the cabin was clean with a safe and fridge. we dined in the evenings in the main restaurant. I must say we have sailed on cruises several times, but the food quality and variety was the best we have experienced. for ...
I was travelling with a group of friends on this cruise. We met up in Stockholm a few days before to visit the sights. We stayed in the Södra Hammarbyhamnen area of stockholm which was a quick public transit ferry ride away from downtown (and the port!)
On embarcation day, I took a transit ferry directly to Frihamnen port where the Silhouette was docked and walked right on the ship in a ...
We wanted 3 days in St Petersburg to see as much art, architecture and history as possible. This was the only cruise that offered it. Our friends had taken Celebrity cruises before, and in particular, some friends had taken this Baltic Sea cruise last year, and they all highly recommended this cruise.
Service on Celebrity ship was impeccable. This being our first cruise on a ship this large ...
The ship was elegant and cabins (veranda) well appointed and designed. The food was excellent. In my opinion there is no reason to pay extra for the specialty dining. Entertainment enjoyable. This is a port intensive cruise with only two days at sea, but that is why we chose this itinerary. We did not use the spa, pools, gym, casino, etc., but did enjoy some of the lounges and sail-aways from ...
We always choose a cruise for the itinerary and this one had a great one. Also we had sailed on Celebrity's sister ship the Solstice last year and loved the ship.
We find the service especially good with Celebrity, all staff are friendly and obviously well trained.
The ship is beautiful as well as understated, with pleasing decor.
On Celebrity's we also find the cabins comfortable and ...
