!!! SILHOUETTE !!! Western Caribbean- The Ultimate Review & Complete Pictorial Guide!

[gambee]

I settled back in my seat and took a short nap, at some point I went to get another drink and I took this pictures of "The Runaways". I don't believe I have spoken about them yet, my personal opinion is that they were just ok. While their music was definitely the kind of music that I like, the main singers voice was not the best. I remember reading a lot of criticism towards them in earlier review. Most people in prior reviews were not very supportive of them.

 

 

 

 

Then we went for a walk and to get a drink at a different bar.

 

 

A lot of the cabanas were occupied that day, actually it was the first time I saw any of them occupied.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lawn was getting plenty of use that day, most folks were very happy, including your correspondent.

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

We decided to hit the sunset bar for drinks

 

 

The drummer was perfect for that area! Love him!

 

 

 

We had a great view!

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

I order another long island.

 

Mom got a strawberry margarita.

 

 

 

Do you guys want to know where my mom's drink ended up in?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please note that she blamed me for it,

 

 

 

 

 

I actually blamed her when she bumped the unstable table,

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the end we agreed to blame the table :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah, there is your drink... Want some? Grab a straw :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soooooooo, ummmmm yeah we had to change tables, I felt really bad for this. I tried cleaning a little but I actually made it worse...

 

[gambee]

So with a new drink we decide to go downstairs and sit by the buffet area.

 

 

With an even better view!

 

 

 

 

It was then when I noticed a tinny dot following us, I knew it had to be another ship. I was really curious about which ship it was so I went inside to change the lens and came back out with the zoom lens.

 

He was way in the distance, it was a carnival ship. It is a good thing that it had the whale tail so I could identify the cruise line :D

 

This picture is really cropped, I could not spot the ship unless I cropped the hell out of it!

 

Which ship is it, no idea. I am sure a little research should yield a result.

 

[gambee]

Then we headed down I got a few pictures of some areas that I had missed in the review. The library was huge and a very nice area, I am sure most that read can appreciate this area. Although I have read a few reviews were people complain that since it is open the noise can leak into that area. It was pretty quiet hen I was there.

 

Here is the library.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

Some art changing floors.

 

 

 

 

And here is the Card Room

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

Going down stairs...

 

Hmmmm these pics are a bit overexposed, I should of fixed them... Oh well :-/

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

Here is the Hideaway, this area was used mostly by teenagers during our voyage.

 

 

 

 

Changing decks.

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

And here is the iLounge

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

The internet was down most of that day

After that we headed to our room and my mom changed and headed to mass. By the way something was pointed out by cruise Arizona that I actually also noticed. She stated that she felt a little funny going to mass in the same venue that they use for their vulgar comedy. Now please note that I never went to mass, but my mom went to quite a few of them and I can totally understand how this can be a little odd for some.

 

I took this picture from the balcony.

 

 

 

Anyway while mom went to mass I spend most of time in the balcony working on my pictures and I also took advantage of a clean room to do the photo tour of the room.

 

So here it goes,

 

 

I love that they offer bar soap in X ships.

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

You all know I have to get the toilet paper pics (RCCL FANS), anyway isn't that the same brand as RCCL? Please also note that this is the first time that I say RCCL in this review. I did pretty good right? There were so many times that I wanted to do comparisons, but I refrained from it.

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

tinny drawers...

 

They always place that little towel there for you.

 

 

 

This system is fantastic, I want it my house. You have no idea how old mine is.... lol.

 

The shower was really nice.

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

Always plenty of towels.

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

I found that was a good temperature setting for us. Mom likes it normal and I like it somewhat colder, when we travel I have to compromise. At night I would lower the temperature a little. Con you believe that I actually turned on the heat a couple of time in this cruise, lol!

 

 

 

[gambee]

This worked fine for us, I do most of the charging through the USB ports in my computer.

 

Nice reflection picture, totally unexpected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

You can move the TV to fit the best viewing angle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

Plenty of light in the room, except for the light in the balcony.

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

 

 

 

Ok folks, that is it for now. Pretty much all I got left is Murano and I want to make sure I do a good job there. This was our very best dinning experience aboard the Silli, just outstanding!

gambee....like everyone else, thanks for the review :). Your review put me over the edge to book Silhouette for next year's spring break cruise. :D

[SeaWatch]

Gamble, ar you going to be like Alfred Hirchcock and appear in one scene?

[midwestchick]

Just a couple of questions....what was your cabin category? I think we are a 2A.

The refrigerator....can you have them empty it and put your own things in if you like? I don't think anything is covered in there, even if you have the drink package, correct?

[gambee]

Do you know the funny thing is that I thought about doing the breakaway review. Funny you mentioned that.

[SeaWatch]

We are booked on the Med cruise in June, thanks for all your insight.

I was in a 1C category, but my understanding is that most of the room in this ship are the same size (with exceptions of course, suites and such).

 

Well I believe you can ask for it for to be emptied. Our steward asked us if we wanted it locked up, I said no, you never know if you want something. And no, nothing in there is covered with the drink package.

 

Have a great cruise!
