The reason I wrote this review is to give another perspective on a more positive note.
All though the Silver Cloud is an older ship and may be a little worn, and may not have the glamour and glitz as the newer larger ships, she makes up for it in other ways. I felt this sense of intimacy onboard. Because its a smaller ship with less passengers, you get a feeling of family onboard. I made so many wonderful friends on this ship, its like a family reunion. Just an awful lot of kindness.
I can't say enough about the staff and crew. They are top notch all the way. Excellent, professional, courteous and so very friendly.
