We are first time users of cruise ship, but have travel around the world. So we are experts in traveling, packing, planning for limited spaces and conveniences that are available. Based on the limited information with cruise ships and travel from the various vendors, we decided to use a travel agent. Using our ideal criteria, the travel agent directed us to the Celebrity Silhouette.
The Silhouette is a very nice and clean ship. It seemed like it had just been constructed and everything was operational and in like-new condition. Very modern and a great design/layout.
So instead of flying quickly and then having a hotel room in each destination, we would take a relaxed travel and not to pack and unpack at each destination. This provides the ability to see multiple destinations and sites in an organized manner.
So I like our room. Under the bed is storage for luggage and can be used as drawers if you plan accordingly. This room is configured with sofa at the Veranda. The 9248 room (next door) has the sofa in the front and the bed at the Veranda. It seemed just as nice and would not be a bad configuration. The folks in 9245 seemed to slam their door every morning at 7AM.We did not hear any noises from those next door, above or below. So it was a comfortable room.Be aware for those ladies that shave their legs in the shower, that there is a bar where you can place your foot and shave each leg.The aircraft toilet is something that you will get use to, but it is not your home Kohler unit.
