Equinox, Reflection or Silhouette

I want to take a cruise at the end of Nov or beginning of Dec. I haven't been on Celebrity since 2010. The choices are a 7 night cruise to Western on the Equinox, a 12 night cruise on the Silhouette ( will be my first choice since it goes to both Martinique & Grenada which i have never been before) and Reflection is a 14 nighter with an overnight in Curacao where I live (Cool to be at home and sleep on a cruise ship..lol) please which one would you recommend. I guess in the end the ships will be the same when it comes to food and entertainment. Have been on Solstice before btw.

c - given all external factors (re: ships) are the same, which itinerary intrigues you the most, in order of preference?

Personally, I love Silhouette and I have yet to do that itinerary, then Reflection would be next choice, then Equinox...

bon voyage

The one on Silhouette because it goes to Granada and Martinique which will be new to me.

Yes Bo1953 has it right. Equinox is only 7 night, but does have glassblowing. Reflection is the largest of Celebrity ships. Silhouette is just right.

If i go with Equinox, i will take another cruise (most probably Royal Princess or Nieuw Amsterdam), so when it comes to days it doesn't matter that much. Leaning more and more towards Silhouette. Thanks

Have not been to Martinique and Grenada either so Silhouette will interest me more.

I thought all the Solstice class ships were about the same size?

Reflection has added cabins, so layout is slightly different. I came to Celebrity after sailing almost exclusively with RC, and on some of their big ships. (We did the Harmony transatlantic bringing her to America.) Reflection is the largest, but didn't seem too large to me. I thought it was just about perfect.

No Reflection is larger. Equinox carries 2850 passengers, the Silhouette 2886 & Reflection 3046.

Number of passengers does not equate to size, they could have more cabins and smaller public space.

On the Reflection they moved the pools and all that goes with it up one deck to the Lido deck. They added Aqua Sky Suites (now just Sky Suites with shower wall in the bath tub.) and Aqua Cabins to deck 12. Also more suites on deck 14 forward. The Reflection weighs 4000 tons more than Solstice.

Personally, I’d go with Silhouette; we found Reflection far too crowded compared to any of the other S class ships.

Reflection and Sihlouette are the same size being the newer ships [apart from the new edge] solstice, eclipse and equinox are the same size. Personally I like Reflection.

I would do the silhouette so you can enjoy new islands and have the lawn club grill (reflection also has LCG but equinox does not) and outdoor eating venue. I usually pick longer cruises over shorter ones but the 12 night itinerary on silhouette sounds perfect. Happy Sailing

I concur.

I've been on Equinox the most, and am always 'happy', but the few times I've been on Silhouette, I'm 'very happy'...

I noticed the Reflection feeling more crowded than the other 2.

So - 12 days on Silhouette seems the best of all worlds :)

Reflection and Sihlouette are the same size

They are close in size, but a little different.

Silhouette is 122,400 Gross Tons, and the beam is 121 ft.

Reflection is 126,000 Gross tons with a beam of 123 ft. :)

There are several food/drink differences. Equinox has the Silk Harvest restaurant instead of Qsine, and it has the Gastropub instead of Cellar Masters.

Reflection and Silhouette have the Porch and the Lawn Club Grill on deck 16, whereas Equinox just has the Hot Glass show.

I certainly wouldn’t pick a cruise just because it has the hot glass show. Very overrated in my opinion.

agree did not go to it while on equinox.

As long as it has a Qsine and a Martini Bar, it's got my vote!

Just had the same dilemma if you can call it that :'). Picked Silhouette. Great itinerary and unbelievable deal for a 12 night cruise.

We loved the glass show on the Equinox and all things being equal would absolutely choose a ship with the hot glass show once again.

So glad you posted this question, I am looking at the same thing.

My first pick would be Silhouette.
