AVphile Posted December 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2014 On the Silhouette there apparently are two different types of Sky Suites -- S1 and S2. I have read in various postings here about a pillar located very close to the bed, but only in some of the pictures of Sky Suites do I see that pillar. Is that the difference between the two categories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine nana Posted December 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The post is in the S1, but we have chosen S1's because we love the wrap around aft balcony. The post has not been a problem for us at all on 2 cruises. The S2's are on the side and do not have the extra round window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wj420 Posted December 8, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Favorite cabin! Big balcony, extra large porthole for side view as well as floor to ceiling double door to balcony! We've had cabins on 4 different decks and the pole has never been an issue. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAN2355 Posted December 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2014 We have stayed in the aft Sky suite S1 with the pole and it was never a problem. Wonderful room with lovely big porthole with lots of light. The balcony is the best with two recliners and good sized table and views to die for!! Wouldn't stay in anything else now as we have been spoilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasYHZ Posted December 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 9, 2014 We've had a side S2 on Silhouette and an aft S1 on Reflection - we liked the S2 better. The pole in the S1 didn't make a difference to us (it was close to the wall and not in the way) but we found the veranda very narrow and it was difficult to place the chairs, footstools and table and it made it hard to move around. We decided it's the non-afts from now on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie.1008 Posted December 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2014 We have had poles is aft facing S2`s as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nclbella Posted December 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2014 We were on the Silhouette 2 weeks ago, and had the cabin with the pole. It was so spacious, and I slept on the side of the bed with the pole. I never had any issues. We were a family of 4 and space was nice to have. Enjoy!

Karynanne Posted December 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2014 We actually like the S2 cabins. There is more closet space and more drawer space. The Aft cabins are our favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudence passenger Posted December 9, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2014 so glad to hear everyone say the poles in an S1 are no bother, we are going on the Holiday New year's cruise on Silhouette and booked an S1, I am really looking forward to the extra space and additional window, thanks for all the feedback, this is why I love to browse around cruise critic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excitedofharpenden Posted December 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The poles didn't bother me either. Depending upon the ship and deck you are on you may have one or two poles. Pole to right of bed when looking from foot of bed, one pole, to the left a bonus one by the bathroom door. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
