We were on the Jan 30 Silhouette cruise and had a much better time than the reviews made me worry about. We were in Blu for the first time so couldn't compare it with the way things used to be and we didn't experience the MDR (the place we ate dinner on our many past cruises). We were quite happy with the food in Blu. Our waiter and assistant waiter for breakfast and dinner (Adolf and Andrezza could not have been better.) I actually did order the onion soup from the MDR menu one night and it wasn't as good as I remember. But given that we ate rack of lamb, filet mignon, duck breast and some really delicious fish, not tilapia incidentally, there really wasn't anything for me to complain about.
We only ate lunch in the buffet and didn't notice much of a change. I was prepared to be disappointed by the disappearance of tea time but at least on that cruise the scones were there.
I thought the entertainment was fine. There was a lot of music around the ship- the party band was great and the featured performers were excellent.
So we booked another cruise on the Silhouette for next year. It was much more expensive than what we paid for the 2023 cruise but we thought it was worth the price.
Compared to an ocean view room in the Hollywood Marriott with no food or entertainment, it's actually cheap.
