Review summary

It was great to back on a ship and sailing in the Caribbean!! Out of 6 ports, 2 were new for us. It was a very relaxing 10 days as the ship was quiet (only 60% capacity). The service was great. The food was great. The entertainment was great!!! Looking forward to our next time at sea!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and efficient. From the time we entered the terminal to check it to the time we were on the ship was about 30-40 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We dined in the main dining room 9 nights out of 10 and the food was fantastic! The choices were great, and we always had something different to try. We ate breakfast every day at the buffet and one night for dinner. So many options to choose from!!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the trivia and our time at the pool in the solarium,

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment was great! We went to the theater every night to watch the perfomances. We also went to the Sky Lounge and the Ensemble lounge to watch some performances.

Children's Programs

no children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every one of the crew was awesome. Our room steward was very meticulous in keeping our state room clean. Our head waiter and assistant waiter were a great team and took care of us with such professionalism every night. The crew in the buffet, around the pool decks, and in the public restrooms were always working hard to keep the ship clean and safe and making sure we had everything we needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We have been on the Equinox which is the same layout as the Silhouette so it was easy to -make our way around the ship. Everything was clean and well-maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We did a guaranteed room reservation and even though we were right about the lift boats, our view was still good. It was quiet and not far from the elevators. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Ports of call

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
It had a small shopping center but still enjoyable to walk around. Did not leave the shopping center area.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We have been to San Juan before, so it was nice to be back. A lot of businesses were closed due to the Thanksgiving holiday. We walked around for a while and went back to the ship.

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

4 out of 5
The area by the dock was old and a lot of empty buildings. We walked around and enjoyed a local beer but went to back to ship after an hour.

St. John's, Antigua

4 out of 5
Another repeat port for us - still lots shopping. Again, just walked around the stores and went back to the ship.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Lots of shopping at great prices!!! It was busy in the shopping center so after walking around the stores, we went back to the ship.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
St Maarten is one of our favorite ports! We were there early and most of the stores had not opened yet when we got there. We visited our favorite jewelry store after walking around and then went back to the ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carried our own luggage off and from the time we left our room until we got the airport was about an hour. The immigration area went very quickly with the face recognition. There were lots of vans waiting to take passengers to the airport.
