We did this tour in February. It was a great tour with fantastic scenery, fun & professional crew & rum punch/sodas. We stopped in a bay along the way for swimming although the cat didn’t pull right up to the beach so if someone doesn’t want to swim or get wet, you’re stuck on the cat with no option to walk on the beach. I’m not sure if it’s always done this way. It may have just been the bay we were in. The cat was larger than we prefer with about 75 people over two decks. It was full but not crowded. The front of the lower deck was solid for walking or sitting but we prefer the open mesh/webbed style for skimming over the water. Friends did the “West Coast Treasures” tour which was a full day & in addition to the Pitons, they went north & did a short hike in a park & had lunch. They had the smaller cat style that we like.

We were in 8237 on Silhouette in February this year. Our group had six rooms in a row, from 8229 to 8239 & our stateroom attendants opened up our balconies so we had one large balcony. It is a very quiet location with rooms above & below & no service areas nearby that we noticed. The views were great & the only minor obstruction is the lifeboats under deck six. This is a photo from our opened up balcony. I wouldn’t hesitate to book in this area again.
