Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Stanely our concierge steward always went the extra mile as did our main server and his second Jose and Francisco respectively did a great job.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was very clean at all times, but the ship in old and its age is showing.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin needs more outlets next to bed, also some hooks send luggage storage.

Ship tip

Avoid excursions poorly organized and celerity makes people pay for watere.

I'm sorry you felt the Silhouette was old but really I'm glad you enjoyed the service, food and entertainment. She's a classic size and I feel she has aged like fine wine. Will be sailing on her transatlantic from Europe this November to FLA and can hardly wait to sail the seas again on her.

Surprised anyone would call this ship small. Maybe if you are comparing it to a new Royal ship that holds 7,000 guests. It has almost a 3,000 guest capacity, which is pretty reasonable. It’s not new, but new isn’t always better.

We were on that cruise as well. We had a fabulous time. It was disappointing that the port was too far from Bordeaux.
