We usually travel on Crystal Cruise Lines our friend told us that Silverseas was as good or better boy was she wrong. Lets start with the positives. The rooms were very spacious, the beds were comfortable, the closets very big and the bathroom was oversized but it stops there. The staff were mostly rude! I can not count how many times they told us to go to our room and order room service. When we ask if there was a movie playing they told us to go to our room and watch a movie. The wait staff were not well trained. The would give 4 out of 6 people water and we would have to call them back and ask them to poor the others water. They would forget to take an order (there were only 6 people at the table) and once they took the order they would forget to bring the order. They would constantly roll their eyes if you ask them for something that would require them to go someplace else to get it. They would say well that is on the 4th floor and it will take 30 minutes to get it. Maybe you should go to the 4th floor. We had a group of 18 and when we ate at the grill and ask them to put the tables together so we could have a least one family dinner together they refused. No matter what you ask it was an inconvenience. When you would ask a question at the front desk they never knew the answer. For example...what time does the ship leave tonight. I consider that a simple question and all staff members should be able to answer it. One day they played bingo and we were told they could only play one game because they had to play trivia right after. 75% of the people came to play bingo and that 75% left when they started the trivia. One night they did Kareokee my husband sang 2 songs and another guy did one song then the cruise director Vicki called all the women up to sing a song then called all the men up to sing a song. It turned into a big joke and again 75% of the room left! The women working on the ship acted like they were hired to entertain themselves. They were also very flirty with the men and no spouse wants to deal with that. I have never spent so much time in my room on any cruise. This ship was a joke! The food was the worse food I have ever had on a cruise ship. If the food would have been excellent you could have been forgiving of somethings. There was a lack of entertainment and when there was something fun the cruise director limited it and started something new. Maybe your target audience in the past was 80 plus but from what I could see the majority of the people on the ship were mid 50's early 60's. I know if I was offered a free cruise on this cruise lines I would not go! Do not ask me to act like I am at the Ritz Carlton when I am clearly at the Motel 6. The food at Ihop is better then the food on this ship. We ate at least one meal every day off the ship just so we could have a decent meal. The ports were excellent but I would reconsider booking on the SilverSea.
