Sail Date: Aug 2018
Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 2C
Traveled with children

This was a fantastic itinerary and all of the ports were lovely. Silhouette is a great ship with a variety of spaces to suit every taste and mood. Our favourite spots were the Martini Bar, the comfy sofa beds in the shade on the pool deck and Cafe al Bacio on deck 5.

Embarkation and Disembarkation were very smooth. We were on board within half an hour of parking the car right by the terminal and allowed in our cabin by 1pm.

Food in the main dining room is varied and excellent quality. They catered well for my wife's gluten allergy with the menu clearly labelled and if ordered the previous day they would make any other dish gluten free.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 2C

Cabin 2C

An excellent location, very quiet with good access to lifts. This is a classified as a partially obstructed balcony, but the obstruction is only when looking down as you are level with the top of a lifeboat. The cabin slept 4, with the sofa turning into a bottom bunk and the top bunk folding down from the ceiling above it. The only slight problem is that for 4 people the storage is not quite adequate.

Cabin was spotlessly clean and attendant was excellent.

A couple of hints - Take some coat hangers as there aren't enough and plug adaptors as the sockets are a mixture of European and American)

Overall, very happy with the cabin.

Port Reviews

Southampton

Stayed at Premier Inn West Quay the night before. Good value budget hotel in city centre and 2 min drive to terminal.

Excellent embarkation at Terminal. Parking right by the ship.

Stockholm

Beautiful city!! 2 days spent here. Vasa museum, town hall, Abba museum were all brilliant.

Ship docked outside city centre, but only 15 min bus ride.

Tallinn

Lovely medieval city centre. Didn't visit any museums, but wandered very happily around. Ship docked 15 min walk away. Only downside was that there were 3 other ships docked and it was very busy.

Berlin

Warnemunde is a lovely seaside town. The ship docked 5 min walk to canal lined with restaurants and cafes. This was a nice quiet day after previous days of city sightseeing. The beach is broad and sandy and we spent the day wandering along the promenade and reading our books on the beach. Being the Baltic, the sea was a bit cold for a swim, and there was a strong breeze, but some hardy Germans did venture in! The beach has loads of beach shelters/deck chairs which you can hire for the day.
