Travelled down on Eavesway coaches to Southampton, faultless as ever and got to the ship in plenty of time, embarkation smooth and we were soon on ship, this was first time on Silhoutte after previously sailed on the Eclipse, found to be almost identical in layout only changes since we last sailed were the Lawn Grill and Cabana's on the top deck.

Itenary was lovely, first time visit to The Azores and Maderia, which we both loved, lovely Black and White cobbled streets, people and weather were lovely, Canary Islands were nice and warm for the time of year, spent a bit of time shopping and the rest sunbathing, Lisbon on the way back was fantastic, loved the open top bus and Tapas in the main square.
