Despite the delay by BA in getting the luggage to Venice Silversea as expected provided everything needed including a trouble free embarkation in late afternoon and a warm welcome by my charming butler whose help was always friendly and professional.The suite was comfortable,spacious and well appointed.The lectures were outstanding and the few activities especially on the sea day were enjoyable.The on board service was six star with always a smile,chat and efficient service of both the inclusive drinks and superb food:the dinner always had good alternatives where the ever changing gourmet menu was not chosen.
Fernando was an excellent cruise director with his trivia quiz much fun and often quite difficult.The ship was spotless,well decorated and I look forward to July 2012 when I am on the Spirit again for two weeks.
It is expensive especially for singles BUT it is a fantastic cruise holiday experience.
The suite was a good size,queen bed with various pillows provided,quiet suite at the end of the corridor.Well appointed with mirror TV,Bulgari soaps etc,comfortable lounge area and good sized verandah.
