Cruise a holic Posted May 26, 2014 #26 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We loved the sunset bar on a Reflection and spent a lot of time there on our recent trip. Would you share what you preferred about it over the one on Silhouette? We are booked on her next spring and have heard it is laid out differently. Any insight appreciated. Thanks. The Silhouette has less passengers. On the Reflection, the size of the sky lounge was cut in half to add additional private suites which occupy about 1/2 of the sky lounge. They also have one more Alcove on the lawn- otherwise, I believe the ships are alike. Same venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted May 26, 2014 Author #27 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Seems you can't go wrong. I assume the quality of food and entertainment is the same on both ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptuno Posted May 26, 2014 #29 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yes! And the same specialty restaurants and barsEnjoy! What about the Quasar lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 26, 2014 #30 Share Posted May 26, 2014 What about the Quasar lounge? Reflection does not have Quasar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted May 26, 2014 Author #31 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Reflection does not have Quasar. Do people like Quasar? Is it a fun place to hang out at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 26, 2014 #32 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Do people like Quasar? Is it a fun place to hang out at night? Giving you an honest answer? I have never hung out there so I can't tell you one way or the other how busy it gets or how slow it stays. It is a nightclub with a bar and some of the chairs are hanging from the ceiling....here is a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 26, 2014 #33 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) That picture was on Equinox. I can't remember if Sihlouette had the same hanging chairs or not. If you are standing in the doorway, the bar is to the rightside and there was a DJ booth to the leftside. Edited May 26, 2014 by Lois R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted May 26, 2014 Author #34 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Silhouette on the pure reason of decor being more to our liking If you can, can you describe the difference in decor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted May 28, 2014 Author #35 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think I need to stop reading the reviews and just look forward to the cruise. Either ship, I'm sure, will be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon stingray Posted May 28, 2014 #36 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Do people like Quasar? Is it a fun place to hang out at night? When we sailed on both Solstice and Silhouette we commented how Quasar was always deserted-even late in evening. I know that X is trying to attract a younger passenger but I don't think the majority of our fellow passengers (at least on those particular sailings) were really into the techno dance music the DJ was pumping out in Quasar. The 70's party in the Sky Lounge however, was standing room only and still going strong when we called it a night at 2.00am:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maz_1 Posted May 28, 2014 #38 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi, Have sailed on both & personally I prefer Silhouette over Reflection. We preferred the layout of the Sunset bar on the Silhouette, also the Sky lounge is a lot smaller on the Reflection compared to the Silhouette. But both ships are beautiful & we would sail on either of them at tthe drop of a hat, no problem :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
