This was our second cruise on Silver Cloud. Boarding in New York was delayed due to the ship encountering bad weather but we were well looked after by the ground crew with drinks, nibbles and $US100 to make us feel better. The ship's crew did a magnificent job of turning the ship around in a very short time and we were boarded very quickly and efficiently. Was actually a bonus as we sailed out of New York after dark and was quite splendid to see the city lit up.
We had a mid Veranda cabin on deck 7, which as ever was spotlessly clean and tidy. Only complaint was that the 'double' bed did not have a double top over the two single beds and there was a ridge down the middle.
The ship was in excellent condition with the staff constantly cleaning and painting.
