We are not seasoned cruisers, but have really enjoyed three previous small ship cruises with Windstar. We were expecting to go up a notch in opting for Silversea, but were sadly disappointed. The one saving grace, was that all the front-facing bar, cleaning, catering and waiting staff were all fantastic, friendly and welcoming.
However, that only demonstrated the contrast with the more senior ...
Service was fantastic. Food is awful. You can smell their fresh fish’ black away. Absolutely beautiful dining room with the worst food. Hot food is cold, cold food was hot. I ordered udon noodles in their salt restaurant. It was vegetables with uncooked dry noodles that look like instant noodles that they just came out of a package. No broth no water nothing it was just plain dry noodles. I just ...
Silversea psssengers expect a luxury cruise and for the most part we received that. Beautiful ship and well designed. All the cabins on one side and all the restaurants on the other for a quiet cabin. Good choice of included tours for this unique Caribbean itinerary. A few minor issues accommodating the disabled such as my spouse but this was due to Caribbean infrastructure so be sure to double ...
We sailed with Regent Seven Seas in January and had a direct comparison.
Cost of cruise was very similar on both lines .Best part SS was the cabin and butler .They did not provide food requests we emailed in January due to Health and medical issues yet they acknowledged the email and confirmed the food would be on board my husband is diabetic.Food was less than mediocre we could not get into ...
Previously cruised all the destination. On another cruise line so thought we would try silversea. This was a complete disappointment from a food and experience point of view. This was the worst food with one exception. The pizza dining on deck 11.
Entertainment was so repetitive and dull.
Crew and staff made it bearable.
Nothing like 6 star line, more like 2 star. Service in ...
Just off a 14 Day Silver Muse Cruise from Melbourne AU to Auckland, NZ. Weather was good (not great) and par for the course, the Tasman gave us a little bit of bad weather thus we missed Bluff NZ, our second port of call. No big deal, as we were being pampered aboard with staff that was so attentive. No ask was too big or too small. They and they alone are the outstanding element of the trip. ...
Everything about this cruise was very very good . That’s not to say I liked everything or wouldn’t have preferred little things a bit different but on the whole a superb experience . Staff , food , service , comfort , surroundings were all extremely good .
There will always be those who pick holes and those people will always find a hole to pick . But to complain about not having a pizza ...
We have toured South Africa before ...Cape Town and Garden route route by road. We wanted to try a cruise for the first time as it included two stops in Namibia with Silver Spirit. At least is what was planned. After our booking Luderitz was cancelled in Namibia and came off the schedule due to so called operational challenges! And hooray was the message therefore an extra day in Cape Town! Having ...
We booked this back-to-back (31 day) cruise over a year ago. The itinerary took us to ports we’d never been before - Madagascar, Mauritius, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai - and we’d had such a wonderful experience on the Moon a year ago that we were looking forward to a repeat, which of course did not happen. This was our 63rd cruise, but only our 3rd - and most likely our last - on Silversea. Our ...
We have sailed on multiple high end cruise lines including the old Crystal, Regent and the former Silversea. We are in the owner’s suite, which is the top of the line. The room is the high point; only negatives are high step ups to the bathrooms and a shower door installed upside down so you have to bend down to the floor to open it from the inside.
Butler is well meaning and tries hard but not ...
