Cabin: Sky Suite 2

We have now sailed on all the s class ships. We prefer the silhouette due to the lawn club grill however we really enjoyed the gastropub on the Equinox. A good use of the space instead of cellar masters plus we enjoyed the sports on the televisions. We booked this primarily for the amazing itinerary. Barcelona is one the easier ports and a pleasure to spend a few days in. We stayed at the Majestic and found it to be excellent. Great location and service. A last minute sale allowed us to book a sky suite so we were able to enjoy Luminae, the suite dining room. We found the dining room to be lovely, well staffed by great crew and the food to be good. We appreciated the option of the main dining room menu as well and enjoyed hot food.

We usually gamble quite a bit (no shows for us) however the casino was unusually quiet and didn't attract us this time. Also, with such big tour days we relaxed after dinner and had early nights. We spent a lot of time in cafe de bacio. We love the central location, the coffee and drink options. A great spot for people watching too! Disembarkation in Barcelona couldn't have been easier. We loved the ship. It was clean, the crew was friendly and we were made to feel very welcomed.

Cabin Review

Sky Suite 2

Cabin S2

Great storage, excellent location in terms of proximity to the elevator. There was noise from upstairs where the oceanview buffet is.

Port Reviews

Barcelona

Easy city to get around. Everyone seems to speak English. Very affordable city. Downtown close to port, airport not far.

Positano (Amalfi)

No where in the world as beautiful as the amalfi coast. Loved it and Positano too!

Santorini

Beautiful spot but difficult walking. Tiny town with great shopping and restaurants. Much nicer than the main city of Fira.

Kusadasi

Amazing ruins! We had a full day plus a amazing lunch at Bizi MeV hanimeli. The guide and driver were excellent.

Mykonos

Easy day for a walk and to enjoy the town. Gorgeous views from Oceanside cafes.

Malta (Valletta)

What a surprise! We ended up hiring a taxi for a few hour tour. We saw beautiful gardens, old medical walled city and a fishing village. A charming stop.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

We did an alternate Tuscany tour. Not our favorite day as the stops were in tiny places with not much to see.
