This is our third Celebrity cruise. After travelling conciege class previously we chose verandah this time and noticed little difference. Our cabin was on deck 9 and very quiet. Cabin service was, as before, faultless.

We chose Friends of a Dave Tours for our German stopover. Tour group was small and leader was excellent. We used Alla Tours for the remaining excursions. The St Petersburg 2 day excursion run by Alla Tours would be the best I've ever experienced as far as organisation and points of interest. The group was small and the guide outstanding. As for other ports of call on this cruise I think they would have been easily done independently. All close to port and walkable or use shuttle bus so save your money. i would not recommend using the ships shore excursions. They were large groups and more expensive.

Cleanlinesss of the Silhouette was excellent and both dining room and buffet service good. Read more
