I return from a 12 nights cruising on Celebrity Silhouette (Solstice class), at the beginning of Cape Liberty, NJ on March 17th, 2012 for a round in the Caribbean (3 days at sea, 6 stopovers, then 2 days at sea for the return). We had a fixed price groups with transport in the bus of Drummondville at Edison NJ, one to lay down with the hotel on March 16th, breakfast and transfer to the port on 17th in the morning. Temperature at the beginning, approximately 16°C, variable sky; temperatures of variable day according to the latitude, but once "in the south", between 27 °C and 32 °C approximately, nothing exceptional. We were apparently some 240 French-speaking people on board, as a large majority from Quebec, some French, Belgians, etc, the majority nice! My wife and I appreciated much, even if we had 2 days with much rain (in St-Croix especially, and Puerto Rico). With the return, the increase was not confirmed a progressive descent of the daily highs... 24... 20... 16... then 10...
Embarkation without problem, perhaps a little less better organized in Bayonne NJ than at Fort Lauderdale in Florida (at the return, one of my luggage had been placed at the bad place in the terminal, a little stress and 15 minutes later, I found it).
Celebrity was once again shown worthy of its reputation, mainly for quality, the variety of food and the service, professional and attentive. We got on the ship around lunch time, our cabins were not yet ready but one invited us to go to Oceanview Cafe for a buffet among the most complete and delicious... There is really for all tastes.
Inside cabin sufficient in size, storage sufficient, bathroom tiny but efficient. Quiet location, no annoying noise from the upper deck or hallway. Some cracking noise from ship walls or ceiling while on moderately rough seas.
