Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review by DrKJ
Trip Details
- Sail Date: September 2017
- Destination: Eastern Mediterranean
- Cabin Type: Ocean View
Had only been on Millenium class previously and they were older dated ships. The Silhouette changed all my previous ideas about Celebrity. Silhouette is bright, roomy, larger cabins and outstanding food. The buffet restaurant was very spacious, open and airy. Very seldom did it appear like the restaurant was full. Dining room seemed a little cramped but the service was great. Ports of call were fantastic encompassing the Mediterranean, Israel and the Greek Isles.
Celebrity apparently is doing away with there three perk offers November 1 so we were glad that we got in on three perks - drinks, gratuities, and shipboard credit. We purchased unlimited Internet which seems high for 12 days - $299 but it's nice to not have to worry about minutes since the connection often can be very slow and just signing in and out can eat up precious minutes. The shipboard credit actually covered the internet cost.

Cabin Review
Cabin 07 3606
Cabin was midship on the third floor which was a great location. Just down from Shore Excursions and Guest Relations. Show room was at one end and dining at the other. Very easy to navigate anywhere.

Jerusalem (Ashdod)We took the ship tour because the tour utilized a resort on the Dead Sea instead of just going to the public beach. The resort was extremely crowded so we ended up having to use lockers on the beach instead of in the resort and the changing room while accessible was overly crowded and basically not useable. The lunch buffet was good. The tour was really not worth the money compared to off ship private tours that used the public beach.View All 13,750 Jerusalem (Ashdod) Cruise Port Reviews

Massada Walking TourTour company did not use the Whisper Radios (Each person has their own receiver and ear piece) so it was very hard to hear the tour guide. The group was over 40 people.View All 4 Massada Walking Tour Reviews
