Celebrity Silhouette Review

Additional details
We booked this cruise for the September 1st sailing for our tenth anniversary as we thought that the itinerary which included four days in Israel was perfect for us. We were hesitant after reading the initial reviews of the ship, but as soon as we stepped foot on the ship, we dropped all of our apprehension at the door and enjoyed every moment on this beautiful ship!
We had a Concierge Class room on the tenth deck, mid ship. The room was beautifully appointed and looked very fresh and new. It was bigger than I expected it to be and the layout was fairly well thought out. The only thing I didn't like was the shelving units on top of the bed as they were awkward to access and I kept the majority of my clothing in them. I would have preferred to use the trundle bed area under the couch as a drawer rather than having an unused mattress in it.
The bathroom was large and the shower was wonderful. Our shower made a horrible high pitched shrieking noise two minutes into each shower. We thought this was normal until we mentioned it to friends a few nights later. We told our room steward and he had it fixed immediately.
Cabin Review
Concierge Class 2
I thought the room was very well appointed and was larger than other cabins I have previously stayed in. The bathroom was a very nice size and the shower was great. I liked the decor in the bathroom and thought there was fairly good storage space in the bathroom. The only things that I couldn't store in the bathroom were my hair dryer and hair brush because there weren't any deep enough storage spaces.
I felt that the bedroom lacked drawers and instead had a lot of hanging room in the closet. There are two large compartments over the bed for clothing, but they are awkward to use because you have to stand on the bed to access them.
We liked the way that television was able to pull out and swivel so it could be watched from anywhere in the cabin. The couch was large (it can also be a day bed) so it was a little firm for sitting on comfortably, but was good enough.
The balcony was lovely and private. The chairs and ottomans were comfortable and I had a couple naps on them. I wish there would have been a light on the balcony so I could have read my book in the evening.
Overall, I was really impressed with the cabin and the use of space. The location of our room was perfect. It was on the tenth floor and mid-ship. Close to the elevators, but far enough away that you do not hear any sound. I never heard a peep from any of our neighbors either, which is an added bonus!
