1-10 of 126 Bahamas Celebrity Silhouette Bahamas Cruise Reviews
Just back from a 4 night cruise in a corner aft Sunset Sky Suite on Silhouette. We are Elite Plus but had not sailed since Covid and were a bit nervous because of all the Celebrity cutbacks and negative comments here. I am happy to report that Celebrity exceeded our expectations and we had an amazing cruise. We booked two more cruises while onboard. Here are some of our ...
Just wanted to know if anybody else on this sailing got covid when they returned home? I got it a few days after leaving ship. Otherwise had a nice cruise. Would prefer no days "at sea" . Ship was older, but revamped a few years back. Still looked old with dark interiors. A lot of illnesses could circulate inside a closed air conditioned ship, not just covid. Went on a 7 day Princess cruise ...
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 ...
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 ...
By far the coldest ship we’ve ever been on, the air conditioning must have been at the highest level. All the bars and lounges were freezing, we saw people coming in and shivering and leaving again. The restaurant was so cold the food went cold very quickly. We were told it was centrally controlled and could not be altered.
The shore excursions were a disaster, some because of the weather which ...
In the pre-covid days we had a very nice Mediterranean Cruise on Celebrity Summit. It was one of their older ships but was in fine fettle, the crew were great, food and entertainment fine and the kids club was used by our (then) 6 year old granddaughter. So we decided to book our first "holiday" cruise - over Xmas and New Years - for 2020. Well, needless to say, that didn't happen. We used the ...
There needs to be a way for guests to see reviews of shore excursions. Took 4 and none were as described.
St Lucia: 4x4 Waterfall and Beach Adventure
This excursion from Celebrity was ok. Over an hour bus ride to a waterfall. Short walk to the waterfall. Saw local scenery along the way. Overall not a good use of limited time in the island.
The beach was along the highway. If you dont ...
We got to Key West but couldn’t dock as it was too windy. Nassau was cancelled completely due to 40mph winds and rain. Celebrity took the ship all the way to Cozumel and back. We all received OBC for the missed port fee taxes. Plus the activities and entertainment were really pushed up a notch. So much to see and do! I averaged over 14,000 steps a day and never went to the gym. Every where we went ...
After sailing mostly on RC and experiencing Norwegian and Disney.... Celebrity was a very different experience.
Pros
Comfortable seats everyplace. Not crowded at all. Amazing food in the buffet and main dining. Great service except one area. Clean (great job by Richard maintaining our room and spaces).

Shows were ok... And got better as the nights ...
We were on the Silhouette for our first transatlantic cruise. Was wonderful! The ship is beautiful, food in Blu and the buffet was consistently great, and staff were very friendly. After 11 nights, we still felt the food variety was excellent.
Our stateroom attendant was the best! Gym is perfect and has everything you need.
I was surprised to read some of the other reviews because our ...
