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 ...
This is our second Celebrity cruise, our previous being the Greek Isles on the Constellation four years ago, which inspired us to go again. Unfortunately it was a big let down from day one. It was billed as a “Norwegian Fjords” cruise but in reality there was only one Fjord experience into Olden with the other three stops relatively low lying shorelines into the ports (Bergen, Stavanger and ...
This was our 5th cruise with Celebrity.
The embarkation process was incredibly efficient and our best experience of it yet.
The ship was full (probably because of school half-term holidays - the children were very well behaved and no problem at all) and getting a table in the main cafe was always difficult for breakfast and lunch. The food at lunchtime and breakfast was excellent, although ...
This was our first ever cruise. We chose Celebrity as our son and wife have cruised with them many times on the Celebrity Eclipse and they recommended Celebrity as opposed to P & O which they didn't like. We had a concierge cabin on deck 10 and therefore received an invitation on embarkation to a lunch for concierge guests in the main dining room prior to sailing. We went along as we thought we ...
This was our fifth Celebrity cruise but our first one on the Silhouette and the seven night cruise was to conveniently extend our holiday to nearly three weeks .We had disembarked the P&O Aurora after a twelve night Canary cruise on the 1st Sept so it made the travel from Scotland more worthwhile to have another seven nights cruising.
It worked out that the Silhouette was leaving ...
Background
We have cruised 15+ times on various lines and usually go for the itinerary. We’ve always wanted to do Norway and this cruise popped up on Vacations To Go and away we were. We did book it rather late, probably a couple months prior. We had gone on Celebrity once before so we knew we had a good cruise line with a great itinerary. Little did we know just how great both would ...
We chose this Cruise because having never visited Norway before we though it would be nice to go somewhere different . We have cruised several times to the Med and the Caribbean + Australia .
Arrived at Southampton and boarded swiftly with friendly and efficient staff . Cabin was ready at 1pm Luggage arrived 10 minutes later . Our cabin steward Enrico introduced himself and was very ...
Having cruised with Celebrity many times we are Captains Club Elite members. We have always found them to be the best cruise line having cruised with Cunard, Royal Carribean,and P&O. The staff were unhelpful and sometimes rude. The perks we were entitled to were usually waiting inside your cabin for you, but this time you had to ask for them if you wanted them. Needless to say Celebrity obviously ...
OVERVIEW
My husband and I are a 50'ish couple who are not regular cruisers. I have always wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords, and when i saw a good sale with 2 perks last fall, i jumped!
We were originally booked in a standard veranda cabin but about 10 days before we sailed, we received an email offering us to bid on moving up to Aqua class. I bid $10 (per-person) over the minimum, and we ...
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 ...
