Celebrity Silhouette is a much larger ship than the ones on which we normally cruise but it was the only ship this year out of Southampton staying three days in St Peterburg and allowing us to take the high speed train to Moscow. The rest of the itinerary was good visiting many countries not visited before. We wondered if we would find such a large ship a little soul less. On the contrary it is a ship with a really good feel. A very friendly atmoshere with folk happy to pass the time of day rather than just pass you by. The staff are also a happy lot, very helpful, polite and efficient. The facilities are what you would expect of a Celebrity ship. The Ocean View Cafe is the best of the type we have encountered with an excellent range and quality of food. The gym is also very good as are the sauna facilities. The library, however, is poor. Perhaps they expect everyone to bring a “device” to read on. Reference and non-fiction books barely exist. Tours offered were average (except going to Moscow)
