NEW SHIP REVIEW
and relax listening to a string quartet as you sip your glass of champagne or refreshing cup of tea.
Whilst the speciality restaurants, including the quirky Qsine with its iPad menu, are similar to those on the other Solstice-class ships, one popular venue aboard Silhouette has been restyled. Michael’s Club has changed from being a type of gentleman’s club to more of an upmarket pub and sports bar. Not only does it have 46-inch TV screens for sport- ing events, it also offers an international range of more than 60 beers in addition to a selection of premium branded spirits. After a summer season in the Mediter-
is still plenty to choose from. However, for a real treat why not experience the decadence of a Champagne tea served in the elegance of the Murano restaurant? Costing $25 per person, this is another first aboard Silhouette and is a white- gloved waiter service affair, offering a fabulous choice of select loose teas served alongside delicious pastries, savouries, scones and cakes, all beautifully presented on fine Wedgwood bone china. Sit back
ranean, Silhouette will be based this winter in Cape Liberty, Bayonne (New Jersey), offering 14-night Caribbean cruises. She returns to the Med in April and will under- take cruises from Venice and Civitavecchia. In October, she will be joined by Ce-
lebrity Reflection, the last of the Solstice- class, which will have an additional deck for Aqua Class passengers. As we have seen with Silhouette, this new ship will no doubt provide at least one or two more pleasant surprises.
