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 ...
Chose this cruise for the itinerary from Hong Kong to Bangkok via cities and remote islands in the Philippines, a brief call in Malaysian Borneo, and two nights in Ho Chi Minh City - fascinating to visit rapidly developing countries under different political systems. We enjoyed most of the included excursions but underestimated the sapping effect of the heat and humidity. For our convenience, we ...
We enjoyed our 14 cruise to Se Asia on the Silver Whisper. This was our 2nd cruise with Silver Sea . The ship is a bit tires and showing it’s 21+ years in service. We loved the itinerary Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and finishing in Thailand. The staff on board were excellent , especially our cruise director Moss. We never had to ask for anything ; there was always someone there to ...
We chose this ship mainly because of the itinerary. The cabin was designed well and of reasonable size with a walk in closet and a balcony. The food in all restaurants was superb varied and with reasonable wine offerings. The excursions were as advertised and well managed. The smaller number of passengers made the general feeling of very few passengers on board and lots of room on excursions. The ...
My wife and I chose this cruise as we had always wanted to try a luxury cruise line, and when we saw a package that would book-end the cruise with a preceding tour of China and a post-cruise tour of India it would cross three things off our bucket list.
So let's start with the positives. Our overall thoughts on this cruise and Silver Muse as a cruise ship are very positive. It is a ship of ...
After cruising extensively on Oceania I thought I would try Silversea. Oceania discourages children so it came as a shock to discover there were nearly 60 children on the Silversea cruise (10% of the passengers). Instead of being a sophisticated adult experience, the cruise was more like a school outing. Kids running around everywhere and a cacophony of high pitch screaming from the forest of ...
Silversea markets itself as a high end luxury liner and for the most part it meets its hype. People joining Grand Voyages part way through, hoping on and off after a few days and discount cruisers tend to bring down the luxury experience. The Muse is a well-designed ship for intimate cruising with nicely designed suites, multiple restaurants, bars and open spaces to relax. The suites are spacious, ...
Pros:
1. Butler that looks after your needs
2. They clean the cabins twice a day so you always feel your room is fresh
3. You can get room service anytime if you are hungry
4. Cabins are good size
Cons:
1. There is limited choices of deserts/ candy
2. Not much entertainment offered to guests. We tried to play bingo and it took only 15 min from the start to finish.
3. ...
I returned to Silversea after four years (having been unable to travel in that time) and as a solo traveller for the first time - it was like coming home, from the initial warm welcome, the brilliant service, superb food (much improved since last time), lovely butler service (thank you Gideon), as much champagne as I could drink - yes Silver Shadow is a little tired in places but it is still very ...
After reading a number of mixed reviews, I had lowered my expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised. Everything was clean and comfortable and relatively efficient. Although we had slight concern initially that the linens appeared to not have been changed after a few days, since I noticed the same blood stain from my husband’s-cut on his finger. Although the linens did not smell, I ...
