Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Although the weather was iffy at times,being with family was worth the weather. The ship offered something for everyone, fabulous food, beautiful accommodations and common areas and one of the friendliest Crews we've experienced in our 10 cruises.

From start to finish we had a fun-filled time aboard the Celebrity Silhouette.  Food, entertainment, crew and staff, excursions, itinerary were absolutely phenomenal.

Always get a port side room (odd numbered) on the East-West crossing and a starboard side room (even numbered) on a West-East crossing. That way you have sun in your room every day.

Use the public transportation (bus, tram, train) in the ports and save yourself some money.

If you get an international plan on your Verizon phone, you can check your e-mail and text while at sea. You can also make calls. Just be sure your don't except your plan limits.

If you have not experienced a Transatlantic cruise in your lifetime.....better sign up -  these are very popular itineraries.  We took the April 15, 2016 to Barcelona and November 5th Rome to Ft Lauderdale.  Celebrity has so many choices in how to spend your "sea" days when you do reach a port it's like....do we have to get off the ship today?  Both were wonderful itineries - what more could one ask for Barcelona and Rome in the same year!

Although is not the first time me and my wife sailed with celebrity this was our first transatlantic. It was a very nice experience, we love pretty much every minute we spent on the boat. There's only one little observation about the food quality, our previous experience on other celebrity boats were just slightly better, however overall everything was perfect.

Our favorite part of the cruise were the 9 relaxing days at sea.  The weather was beautiful and the seas were calm.  Ports of call were great, the food was excellent and the entertainment was spectacular.  Most cruisers on board were not first time cruisers and many had done previous Trans Atlantic cruises before.  We would definitely do this cruise again and also recommend this cruise to our friends.  This was also our third cruise on Silhouette.  It is a wonderful ship.

This cruise and the pre-trip in Florence was exceptional.  Starting with the hotel in Florence that was right around the corner from the Duomo and ending with our group farewell party, this experience was filled with good times, great stops and fun.  The ship was wonderful and Aqua Class service was delightful. The crew was attentive.  Our Stewart provided for our needs, sometimes before we knew we needed it.  The dining experiences were both yummy and relaxing.  The dining room staff were efficient and personable.  The ship amenities and activities were abundant. My favorite was knitting in the library with new found friends. The ship's Itinerary took me places in a style I can't wait to bookagain.  Oh, wait, I have!

The entire crew was the best. They were so welcoming and got involved in every aspect of the cruise. I would definitely do this cruise again and would recommend it to others to do.

TheT ship was are second time sailing it was all I expect. Great 14days will dethe stafinetlydo again . I will recommended to everybody. Thanks. Wish I could have stay and do the transatlantic to FT Lauderdsle

The ports of call were fabulous.  The ship was laid out nicely, providing everything that is needed.  The art throughout the ship is excellent - you have to get around to all parts of the ship, including the stairwells and specialty restaurants to see it - its everywhere.  We became aware of it due to an excellent presentation entitled "The art of the Silhouette" or something like that, given by one of the ship's Beyond the Podium" series speakers (Dr. Fishman - he was excellent.  The dining room menus were very good.  The food in the cafeteria on deck 14 was just average in our opinion.  The staff (stateroom, dining, and everywhere else) were great!

This was our first trip to Europe and wanted a good taste of the Western Mediterranean.  This cruise fit the bill!  There was a good taste of all the countries we visited. The time in port was enough to do everything we wanted to do.  There were plenty of fun entertainment options for the evenings and the days at sea.

The itinerary was great, the ship was very clean and the service was great.  However, the additional charges for for coffee, water or drinks was outrageous.  $14.08 for two cups of coffee was heavy as was $6.49 for a bottle of water and the coffee you  don't pay extra for was undrinkable.  These prices are penalties for not buying the beverage packages, which are grossly overpriced unless you drink fluids all day nonstop. The specialty restaurants are way over priced for cover charges as well.  Even the Porch Grill had a $30 per person charge for burgers and sandwiches.  At the end of the cruise, it doesn't feel like you got such a great deal afterall.

We booked this cruise a couple of months before sailing and settled on the cruise because we liked the itinerary and favor Celebrity.  Four of us traveled together, two couples and we had two suites on the resort (pool) deck.  The suites themselves were very well appointed, spacious balconies and the service of a wonderful butler who took very special care of us.  We bought a package of four specialist restaurants and chose Murano (superb), Qsine (quirky and delicious) Sushi (absolutely fabulous) and The Lawn Club Grill (my least favorite but others in the party enjoyed). We thought the entertainment for the most part was very good, we liked the DJ's, the house band and many of the individual musicians.  We loved having access to Michael's Club a very chilled place to have a pre-dinner drink or pick up soft drinks, etc.  We ate in Laminae most nights but often ordered off the menu from the main Dining room.  We liked the atmosphere of Luminae but sometimes found the menu quite limited.

We were very disappointed with the excursion we booked via the ship to the Dead Sea, badly organized and inferior facilities once we got there.  We did get a 50% rebate on the fee though.  We arranged private guides in Jerusalem, Haifa and Kusadasi by researching them on Trip Advisor and were very happy with each of the guides.

The Dining Room Staff were great, but nothing that came out of the Kitchen was any good !  Also, the Cabin Service was Spotty.  The Entertainment in the Theatre was just Mediocre, and Main Foyer was just BAD !

Ticked all the boxes, from the qualities of the foods on offer and the speciality restaurants to the entertainment provided, especially the production shows.

Been cruising for about 10 years, but this was our 1st Celebrity cruise. We liked the layout of the ship, particularly the open area in the Lawn club. The food was very good and the staff very efficient and helpful. The captain was superb, very amusing man. We were disappointed with the decision to abandon formal evenings in favour of chic nights, as this is a key feature of cruising for us. Guest entertainers were of a high standard.

Favorite port was La Spezia for the tour of Cinque Terre--absolutely beautiful! Ajaccio Corsica was also a favorite--ease of access from port allowed freedom to explore port at leisure. Port of Villefranche was the most picturesque.

This was my 4th cruise, the previous 3 being on RCI Independence of the Seas which I really enjoyed but this was different class. Loved it right from the moment I went aboard. The ship was beautiful, clean with lots of fantastic bars, cafes, etc. All the staff, without fail, from the waiters in the dining room & bars and our cabin steward were friendly, polite and made me feel that nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment was great and even the captain was hilarious!! I would recommend this cruise line and ship to anyone who wants a little bit of sophistication and luxury but with a relaxed and comfortable feel......loved it.

We enjoyed our cruise although we missed the ship due to a problem at the airport however we made it the following day and received a warm welcome . Loved the places we visited only down side was the early leaving of the cabins on our return the toilets were all queuing very unpleasant.

We had a wonderful vacation on board the Celebrity Silhouette. We chose the cruise because we liked the itinerary and the price. We also chose it because Celebrity is our chosen cruise line. 

The cabin, service, food and their professional personable staff was once again the key to keeping us loyal. We'll be back!
