We picked the cruise for the destination, it suited our timelines and we wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords.
Overall I was impressed with the cabin and the staff were excellent, the facilities were good, however I did get frustrated at the amount of upselling, be that shops or the facilites on board including the very expensive "speciality dining". Compared to previous cruises with P&O and ...
Sailed on the Silhouette to the Norwegian fjords on 27/4/19 on a 7night cruise from Southampton.We last sailed on this ship in 2013 on a Mediterranean which we enjoyed.We also had a enjoyable trip to Norway but one big problem is that this is designed for warmer climates when people can sit on balconies.. When the ship is in colder waters in April /May people are unable to sit outside on ...
We just returned from our 8th Celebrity cruise this time on the Silhouette 7 day Norwegian fjords cruise out of Southampton. Ship was clean as usual, stateroom and stateroom attendant were excellent, anytime dining was easy and a real plus. All in all, the cruise was fun relaxing, and well worth it, especially with the stunning scenery we saw in the Norwegian fjords.
There were a couple of ...
I chose this cruise because I wanted to see the Norwegian fjords, and because a travel agent had put together a group that included some dance lessons and dancing as part of the package. I would probably not have chosen to go on a cruise otherwise but I was very pleasantly surprised by the experience.
The Norwegian fjords are beautiful and well worth the trip. The facilities and standard of ...
Here's some quick thoughts and ideas if you're looking to book the Norwegian Fjord cruise on Celebrity (Silhouette). By the way, we learned all cruises to the Fjords STOP in 2025, so do it while you can.
I traveled as a first time cruiser with my mom (65) and Aunt (60 something). I'm an active 37 yr old...and 18 months pregnant, for context.
Cabin: review is below.
Food: We dined in the ...
Saturday September 1st and we were in Southampton about to board the Celebrity Silhouette cruise ship we were on our first ever cruise and we were going to visit the Norwegian Fjords. There was a fair bit of apprehension and even more excitement at the prospect.
The boarding process was smooth and efficiently done and we were on board in no time at all.
It was a wonderful sunny day, so ...
This was our 2nd time on Celebrity - first time on the Eclipse and Solstice class ships. Here are my thoughts by area -
Embarkation - we arrived at the Southampton port around 1:30pm - easy check-in and we were on the boat within 20 minutes or so - one of the quickest check ins we have ever had.
Ship - Grade A+
We were very impressed with the ship - clean, great condition, well laid out, ...
The Eclipse is a beautiful ship. There was a very noticeable engine vibration on all decks aft which was especially bothersome while dining. Veranda stateroom on deck 7 was clean and comfortable. Cabin steward was very helpful. The food in MDR was very good. First time in a long time that I ordered a medium rare steak and it was actually medium rare. They could use a thicker cut of steak in ...
We have done quite a lot of cruising and Celebrity is our preferred line. We have Elite status with them and this was our fourth time on Eclipse but our first to Norway. We took our first Celebrity cruise on this ship just after its launch in 2010. The ship is in really good shape with hardly any signs of wear.
We arrived at Southampton by car, around 10.30 am, parked on the dock and our ...
