Review summary
When you read of 14 days cruise you might think "how boring". Wrong. It was delightful...days at sea in the beginning to "rest up", enjoying the Celebrity Silhouette, eating good food. Then a few days of ports and visiting new countries. We met some wonderful folks from various parts of the world. The ship was very comfortable; the larger size stateroom was a pleasant surprise. Our captain gave a very entertaining daily update at 10 AM. About mid-cruise the daily "reset of time clocks" started to make up the needed 5-6 hours of time change to get us to the European time zone. We are thinking about booking an Autumn Transatlantic Crossing in the future.

Ship tip
For the first time I purchased a beverage package (for my special teas and mineral water); it was very convenient. This ship had free cookies/pastries, and sushi..perhaps more. Good laundry service.
Ports of call

we did this same cruise with you. and we enjoyed ourselves so much we are going back again in april 2016. this time the ship ends in south hampton, england instead of amsterdam. then leaves there and does norway, ending in amsterdam, which we have booked as well. definitely book a balcony on these types of cruises. we were able to watch the whales from our balcony without having to jostle with the others on the pool level. this is a beautiful ship and we've done 22 cruises and love it the best so far. i do agree that the process of getting on the ship needs to be refined!!
