Other than some unseasonably chilly weather in some of the ports that we visited, the entire experience was excellent. This was our third Celebrity Cruise; coincidently, all three cruise were on the Celebrity Silhouette, a very fine ship indeed. This time we tried Suite Class, expensive but well worth it.
I've found that the key to Celebrity is its people, and this cruise was no exception; unfailing helpful, pleasantly outgoing and really dedicated to fine service. This true throughout the ship. Special recognition is due our Butler, Walter, who performed admirably and was consistently helpful in so many ways. His seasoned advice on cruising generally and excursions in particular was extremely valuable and he was always there when you needed him. In the cruise industry, Walter is definitely a roll model to be followed. He fine-tuned our stay to perfection. Special recognition also goes to our room attendant, Mr. Osman, who pleasantly arranged our cabin to meet our schedule, some days late risers and other days not. Last but certainly not least , special recognition is due for the staff of the Suite Class restaurant, Luminae. Management and staff, every one of them, was truly pleasant and, outgoing, self-motivated and provided service found only in the finest restaurants. They went far out of their way to accommodate us during the cruise and made it a point to anticipate our dining desires.
The cabin was basically double the size of an ordinary cabin, the nicest part was the full size shower and amenities. Some noise was generated through the ceiling that separated our cabin from the ship buffet on the deck above, but nothing terrible.
Extremely well maintained. The double-sized deck and cabin were light and spacious. Plenty of room to move around. The location on Deck 12 put us close to the indoor and outdoor pool areas, just one deck below the Buffet and right by the bank of elevators that took us to Luninae. To keep unwanted noise to a minimum, I would not stay closer than 10 rooms from the elevator lobby. Some noise cam through the cabin ceiling between Decks 12 and 14 where the Buffet is located, but the sound was pretty muffled and didn't bother us.
