Have cruised on the Silhouette before but usually take a pre-Christmas cruise and decided to go with the Silhouette again.
Arrived from our pre cruise hotel around 11:15 AM and check-in was rapid and easy. Boarded the ship around 11:40AM with no waiting. Rooms were not ready yet so joined everyone else in the Oceanview Cafe for a bite to eat. Noticed immediately a new emphasis on the part of the staff to quickly clean tables and make them available. I also must comment that in the MDR the service was not only immediate and quick but staff have been instructed to interact with those being served as opposed to just placing the food in front of them and walking away. Very nice indeed!
Rooms were ready around 1PM. Loved cabin #8255! Plenty of storage space, hangers in closet and have always liked the bathroom/shower set up. First time in 30 cruises I had a female room attendant. Anacelia was professional, interacted every time she saw us and her job was preformed flawlessly.
