Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise primarily because we wanted to visit so many Baltic cities.  All were wonderful but St. Petersburg was fabulous.  You cannot adequately describe how magnificent the palaces and cathedrals are.  The guides on all our trips were excellent.  They spoke very good English and were full of interesting information.

The staff on the ship were very friendly and anxious to accommodate any needs.  We ate in the Aqua Class restaurant and the food was very good, varied, and well prepared.

We did not see all the shows but those we did were excellent.

We are not big cruising people but if you like cruising on a big ship, then I would recommend the Silhouette.  It was a very good experience. We really have no negative comments.

Quite a roomy bathroom. Very clean but functional.

Ship tip

Having the upgrades included (drinks, gratuities, onboard spending) was great particularly as buying a drinks package can be very expensive. We booked some trips ahead of time and they were all good. Also booking ahead from Skymiles might mean you are in a smaller group.
