We have never been on a cruise before but this itinerary seemed interesting with lots of exciting destinations. In addition we expected Silversea to deliver a high quality on board experience.
Silver Dawn is a beautiful ship. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, the food was mostly very good, (with one massive exception), the service and housekeeping were excellent. Unfortunately the ...
Ohh my word. We are loyal Crystal Cruiser and we booked Silver Seas while Crystal was in Bankruptcy hoping to find a replacement. What a mistake. This is a glorified Royal Caribbean Cruise. Terrible service, subpar food. The same menu every night in the main dining room with minor changes. Wine of the night that is the same every night. Buffet that is small and the exact same every night. ...
Beautiful ship. Very clean. Unfortunately that's where it ends. Food was mediocre at best. Most meats and fish were overcooked even if we specified the way we liked it done. Most meals came luke warm at best. Never hot except for some soups. Even at breakfast we ordered eggs benedict and the yolk was rock hard. Complaining went nowhere.
We took the "Drink package" for a few hundred dollars ...
Friends whom we met last year on a long Viking cruise urged us to join them on a Copenhagen-Copenhagen r/t and said that 'SilverSea (SS)was like Viking, only better".
We disagree.
It's 'like' Viking--NOT identical. We read many reviews before (and after) our cruise.
What's better on SS? Embarkation and disembarkation were better handled than on Viking. For some reason, those pose as ...
This was my second cruise with Costa. First one was with Smeralda . Check-in and access of the cabin worked well. Deck 2 insides. The journey from Copenhagen Danmark to Tarragona Spain went perfectly.
The cabin was okey, interior grey but the bed was really good. The food is varied, the breakfast and lunch buffet is tasteless ,hot food is cold when you have found somewhere to sit. Restaurant ...
I have cruised HA 15 times. Love the line. We took this cruise and extended another 14 days to travel to Egypt, Turkey, Greece etc. so we were on the ship a total of 25 days. HA has always attracted an older crowd and the ship is usually fairly full. We noticed the following during our 25 days: (1) Poor officer interaction with passengers (2) poorly trained Lido floor wait staff (3) lack of ...
I wanted to visit the British Isles and after an exceptional cruies to Alaska, was ready to experience the same here. Unfortunately that was not the case. I was totally disappointed. The ship was in dire need of renovations, my cabin has shredded carpet, poor plumbing, ( bathroom flooded, toilet clogged). I understand maintenance issues happen, but when I have to wait in excess of 2 hours to get ...
This was our first time on MSC cruise we were very disappointed. Route was excellent but, customer service & room location was absolutely awful! 1.Beware to ship does not provide facial tissues in the room & no bath robe!! When we stopped by customer reception desk asked about no facial tissue in the room they looked at me like what are you asking…. After explaining when I needed they ...
An outstanding cruise with some of the most pleasant and professional crew that we have ever had the pleasure to cruise with. We found the service across all venues to be outstanding. Entertainment was not of the same quality as some of the broadway style shows on NCL or RCL. However the quantity was much higher, with 7 different shows in the main theater during our 7 night cruise. This was ...
Went on this cruise the week of 27th of august until the 3rd of september, boarding in copenhagen. Itinerary norwegian fjords. We had an interior cabin on the 13th floor. There was a cracking noise of the cabin ceiling at all times. It was difficult to rest at night. The wifi service is unacceptable for the price and for this kind of ship.
Embarking and disembarking went smoothly and quickly. ...
