Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Silver Shadow

We were on two legs of the cruise that started at the date listed in Auckland and completed in Singapore on 01/21/2018. We wanted to see part of Australia. It's so large you have to go at least two to three times. We added New Zealand to the itinerary because of travel costs, flights in business class are so high at that duration and distance. We're glad we added New Zealand. The shore ...

Silversea Still Has it

A number of recent review on Cruise Critic portray the Silver Shadow as an aging ship with substandard service and cuisine. We found the opposite. This was our tenth cuise on Silversea, and we were totally happy with the experience, We saw no evidence of an aging ship needing refubishment, service was impeccable, food in all of the dining areas was excellent (one could question whether La Dame was ...

Great service and food but no sparkle that makes it a 6 star shop

The unusual itinerary was the main reason for selecting this cruise. It met my expectation. The service by the crew and staff is outstanding but the ship's special touches that make one return to Silver Sea are missing. Having traveled with Silver Sea since 1998 (more than 500 days) I find that the ship(s) have become very lack luster. Gone are the tasty after dinner candies and cookies. The ...

Just the right size of ship

The itinerary was the number one reason we chose this ship, followed by the size of the ship and what it had to offer. The accommodations were outstanding and our butler went above and beyond in service and attentiveness. Our room maid was also outstanding and always had a smile on her face. Ports of call were very good except for Caines where I wish we had spent two days as there was so ...

Standards Have dropped - a disappointing cruise

We chose this cruise based on past experiences with Silversea but also because the timing happened to fit perfectly with our desire to take time out. This cruise was our fourth with Silversea after 2 in the Mediterranean in 2012, and one in 2016 also on Silver Shadow in Asia, This voyage provided several disappointments and we felt a lowering of standards. We boarded the ship in Singapore, ...

Don't fall for the luxury scam

Luxury is the most abused word used by cruise companies; it is an attempt to mislead consumers. Silversea plays a con game because it is, based on my recent experience, very far from being a true luxury cruise line such as Seabourn, Regent or Azamara. The Silver Shadow should have received a major renovation and refurbishment some years ago. Every other passenger on our cruise who had previous ...

Not the luxury you would expect for the price

This ship is in serious need of a refreshment. It is very tired and worn. The art work looks like something from a second hand shop and is drab and dull. The food was mediocre at best. The La Dame restaurant was a total waste. The tours on the two back to back cruises we took (Hong Kong to Singapore and Singapore to Sydney) were not well vetted and the itinerary on the second cruise was ...

Far east cruise offers wonderful ports of call. Previously we had travelled with Silversea to Antarctica and had a 5 STAR experience. This was the main draw for our choosing Silversea once again. Unfortunately, the Silver Shadow is in desperate need of a trip to dry dock. She is showing her age. Extremely challenging to control stateroom's temperature. Either too hot or too cold were the ...

After 7 years this was my first cruise on Silversea again. Food was outstanding, crew fantastic. I did not try Le Champagne. Food in La Terrazza, main dining room and Pool grill was just great. We had to cancel on port cause of bad weather but I think it was a wise decision cause of safety reasons. Yes the ship does need some refurbishment but it is still a beautiful ship. The crew was ...

My cousin, Alec Graham, had cruised several times with Silversea, and he asked us to accompany him and his wife on the cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore, which we did. It was a terrific experience, as my cousin and other friends of ours predicted. The ship was perfect in comfort and seaworthiness, the cabin comfortable and lacking nothing at all, the steward well-trained and very affable, ...
