Additional details
We sailed on the Silhouette the week of February 17th. My husband and I have only cruised 1 time before on the Eclipse, which we loved. This time we booked two cabins and brought our sons, 15 and 9 years. We traveled with family and were 13 total. We flew in from NY the night before and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express by the executive airport. The next morning we returned our rental car back at FLL, hopped in a cab and went to the port. This all took less than an hour. We left our luggage with a porter and were checking in at the ship by 10:30. We were concierge and there was absolutely no line at check in but they wanted to rush us and made my husband and I check in our two cabins with 2 separate people. I checked in with my 1 son quickly but the woman checking in my husband said she couldn't find his sea pass cards, told him to go wait by some seats and would give no other info. In the mean time, the woman who checked me in dismissed me to check in the 2 other only people on line. We had done all of our check in online so this was annoying but luckily it was early. They had us wait over a half hour while no one spoke to us and then a random person appeared with our sea pass cards. After that we were happy to board. We were greeted by many of the wonderful staff and champagne.
We went up to Oceanview Cafe for lunch and met with the rest of our family who live in Florida. The staff were wonderful and were helping people find tables and clearing plates constantly.
Cabins: we booked 2 cabins in concierge together for us and our sons. We never ended up using the outer vestibule door since we found it easier to just have the balcony separator opened. If our children were a bit younger we probably would've used the other doors. Our cabin attendant Isman and his assistant did a great job all week . He always greeted my 9 year old when he saw him in the hall with " hello friend!" Which my son loved. The storage in the cabins worked fine for all of us. The showers are great with plenty of hot water and water pressure. Rooms were very clean.
Cabin Review
Concierge Class 2
We were in 1124 and 1126. Did not use the connecting doors. Just had cabin attendant open balcony divider. Balcony were on the aft hump angle and were larger than normal. Being on angle makes them slightly less private but nice views. Cabins were quiet. 1124 bed by balcony and 1126 beds by closet. That cabin sleeps 3.
