14th – 31st Oct 17
Fort Lauderdale to Santiago aboard Silver Muse
Silver Suite #1007
Silver Suite #1007
Our Silver Suite was really spacious – over 700 sq ft- and had everything you could desire. As well as Butler Service, Silver Suites come with free laundry and complimentary internet access (ie NOT limited to 1hour per day as in most other suites). Worth saying that the speed of the internet is the fastest and most reliable I have experienced on a ship.
Our Butler – OKI – was excellent. Apart from the usual stuff like bringing us tea in the morning and afternoon, he went the extra mile. I always found my shoes freshly cleaned and wrapped in tissue! Our chambermaid – ROMELYN – did a great job. Always spotlessly clean.
The niggles we had revolved around there being no drawers anywhere in the bathroom, loo or dressing room. Crazy! Whoever decided that was a good idea should be sacked! Also, the Silver Suites have a totally useless corridor which could easily have been incorporated into the suite making much better use of the space.
The beds were to our liking as they were quite firm. We had the best sleeps ever. Our suite was quiet (we always choose suites with no public areas above or below). The suite does creak when there is any sea motion. You could hear our neighbours TV through the flimsy walls. But they seemed to go to bed early like us so we were never really inconvenienced.
We are both allergic to air conditioning and have had some miserable voyages as a result. Why on earth in this day and age you can’t control the fan strength, or even switch the AC off completely as you can in some hotel rooms, is beyond me. But the AC was efficient and the fan strength very mild. Ie it didn’t blow a gale across you at night. So we had no problems there.
