Nice cruise with rough weather. Ship was great as was staff. Excursions ok but extra so added quite a bit to the cost of the trip. Spent a lot of time cruising so excursion time was limited. Three consecutive days of sailing which were pretty boring. Gym was so small we never could get in. Packed at all times with people staying for long work outs. Food was excellent. Several restaurants to choose from so you could always find something you liked. Cabins were very nice and Butler was excellent. A little misleading in stating you have a private butler. Does not mention the Butler cares for 13 rooms so they are not always available. Free laundry but only one washer and dryer per floor. With each floor full it was impossible to get to use them. Suggest adding more on each floor or a way to schedule time. Probably would,not do silver sea again but would go with seabourn.
