Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Reviews

After 22 Celebrity cruises it was an almost automatic choice. We have always been delighted with the quality of food on Celebrity cruises. This time the food in the main dining room was mediocre at best and nowhere near what we were accustomed to. Even the speciality restaurants had lost any wow factor. As usual, all waiting staff were excellent but it must have been a challenge to stay ...

After half a dozen cruises with X with falling standards, we went to another company for 2 cruises but decided to give them another chance. Happy to say that in the main, things had got better. Embarkation was good with the exception of needing to show paper copies of Esta, which neither couple knew about. Although I had copies on my phone I needed to locate them but wasn’t given a chance, with ...

We had a great time on our Silhouette cruise, our first on Celebrity after 16 on 4 other lines, mostly Royal Caribbean. There were many positives but I first want to comment on the crew - the Silhouette crew was hands down the friendliest we have ever sailed with. Everyone we came in contact with had a smile and a happy greeting for us; main dining staff were great and very efficient, buffet ...

My first Celebrity cruise! For reference, I've sailed several times on Carnival (never again), Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian. Went on my first Norwegian cruise back in June and loved it so much I booked several more. ...and then came this Celebrity cruise. EMBARKATION - what? Ten minutes? If even? SPEEDIEST EMBARKATION EVER. CABIN - a surprise upgrade was awesome to get. Balcony ...

Celebrity Silhouette January 29 to February 8, 2024 Our goal was to get away from the cold northern states, and we mostly enjoyed very nice weather. We booked this southern Caribbean cruise right after our first, very positive sailing with Celebrity. Unfortunately, this sailing was not comparable to our transatlantic on the Constellation. Precruise: We flew direct to FLL and stayed ...

I would like to start by thanking all of the kind souls here at Cruise Critic. You kept my travel desire going over the past four years with no travel, and the amount of knowledge that you share is astounding and selfless. About us: Mike 57 and my wife 59 have been cruising, doing all-inclusive’s or other travel since 2000. Both my wife and I have tried to be honest with our feelings about this ...

We are long time cruisers; Norwegian, NCL. Royal Caribbean, Virgin, Holland America, MCS and this is our second Celebrity. First one on brand new (at the time) Reflection, out of Barcelona. We based our decision to do this cruise on THAT experience…bad mistake. Food is horrendous, I’m not picky (at all), but 7 out of 9 dinners were a few bites and give up. Pastries at all venues are bland, ...

We just returned from a 10 day southern and it was really not the cruise that I expected. The Summit that we were on 12/2/23 was so much better. For one, the Summit did not nickel and dime us for drinks. The up charge on the Silhouette in Jan was ridiculous. The price of wine went up 3-4.00 a glass (you can buy the entire bottle at the store for less that a glass). Even the martinis, wines and ...

This cruise was our 7th on Celebrity and 40th overall. We prefer Celebrity because of the older clientele and the amenities that came with the booking. This included over $500 in on-board credit, complimentary wi-fi, and gratuities. Both of us are in our mid-70s and very fit for our ages. This allows us to use the stairs and avoid the often crowded elevators and walk throughout the port areas ...

First I want to say everyone that worked on the cruise went over and beyond our expectations. But the food in the dining room wasn't anywhere near 5 star. We were confused with 1 waiter 1 person to take wine order, 1 person for mixed drinks ect.... Never ever saw that before and made it hard to get drinks for everyone. With dinner at 6pm you won't be out by 7 for the shows. We did go the first 2 ...
