Overall disappointing and overpriced. Will not sail Silversea again. Pros: Attentive Butler Good Food 24 hour room service Cons: Ship is 28 years old. Really old ship (maiden voyage 1994), should be retired Overpriced for what you get No entertainment or planned on-board activities = bored most of the time TV and movies not available most of the time Very few dining ...

I chose Silversea because they had a cruise that would have me in Antarctica for my birthday. Due to COVID, my 2021 cruise was canceled. I understand- COVID. Since my cruise and plane tickets were already paid for, I thought it easier to just rebook for the following year. I had no problem switching the dates of my flight to Argentina and Silversea still had a sailing that would have me in ...

This was meant to be a once in a lifetime experience but I am going to have to have a "do-over" My cruise was fraught with disappointments. Some were unavoidable such as ice blocking short cuts through passages (totally acceptable and probably expected to a certain degree on an expedition cruise). We even had to turn around early to go through the Drake passage 2 days early out of concern for a ...

SilverSea Antarctica - Not a luxury; not an expedition! Simply mediocore.

We traveled with Silversea on Silver Cloud to Antarctica in February, 2022. The trip was touted as a luxury expedition but turned out to be a dismal, Sail by cruise. More than 30% of the ship crew was infected with COVID pre departure. Still, the ship sailed without us learning about the infection! Instead of cancelling the trip, Silversea disregarded all Covid safety protocols and continued with ...

My daughter got this cruise for my 80th birthday August 2022. It was to be our trip of a lifetime, instead it was a disaster. When we finally boarded after our Covid tests and enduring long lines in Chili, we boarded the ship with known Covid staff and crew infected. We were not told. My daughter has Crohns and I am almost 80, although fully vaccinated with Covid booster we would have chosen ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

As a first time cruiser, I chose Silversea for it's supposed commitment to customer care and luxury service. Unfortunately, the complete bungled mess I experienced impells me to warn others about Silversea's complete disregard for the safety and satisfaction of customers in the time of Covid under Royal Caribbean's management. I should preface by saying I'm really not that picky, and can overlook ...

Ultra-luxury was ultra-disappointing

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My husband and I chose this cruise because of the "ultra-luxury" status that Silversea promotes themselves to be. We are not high-maintenance people by any means, but wanted our trip to Antarctica to be truly a once in a lifetime experience. Even before departing the USA, we had difficulty with Silversea. The requirements to enter Chile are extremely strict, and our Silversea agent was ...

Silversea and any RCCL - Never Again!

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

After stressing their comprehensive anti-COVID policies and procedures and requiring passenger vaccinations and triple COVID tests, Silversea embarked approximately 150 COVID-negative passengers on a ship with many already COVID-positive, quarantined and ill staff. By day 2 of the cruise we were told approximately 10% (a deliberate under-estimation per crew members asked to do double duty) of ...

It looks like Royal Caribbean is ruining Silversea Antarctic cruises

I’ve been reviewing the Silver Cloud and Silver Explorer reviews. The overall startling thing I’ve noticed is that people reviewing cruises before Royal Caribbean bought Silversea pretty uniformly had wonderful experiences whereas those who traveled after Royal Caribbean took over had generally dismal experiences. My once in a lifetime Antarctica cruise was one of the latter. There were so ...
