Sail Date: Jan 2022

We did 5 weeks of cruising in 2 months from December 2021 to January 2022. 2 weeks on the Celebrity Silhouette, 2 weeks on the Rotterdam and 1 week on the Oasis Of The Sea, the last 2 cruises were back a back,, so it is very fresh to compare all of them. All of them were at about 1/3 capacity maybe a bit more for RCL. We are Celebrity-HAL fans cruisers.

The boat is simply beautiful, being new helps. The general déco, the pieces of artcraft every where, the good smell, the cleanliness all were perfect.

The food was just perfect, the MDR menu is at the level of speciality restaurants on some other ships, the buffet is the best on the sea, the hamburger/fries and dogs are among the best on the sea at the Dive-In free restaurant. The speciality restaurant Tamarind failed on us the first week by not having our 2 food selections we desired,, they offered us a free table the next week with the food selection we missed the first time,,, thank you Tamarind. I regret not having tried Rudi sel the mer,,,,, next time,,,.

Cabin Review

Biggest shower, excellent bedding, very nice deco, biggest flat TV, quiet room except for the balcony door bagning,,, too much vibrations from moderate sea and also at pier wave crashing at the back of the ship shaking the boat very hard,, next cabin will be foward
