Having looked at some of the reviews for Silver Cloud I was worried - talk of it needing complete refurbishment and not having a good range of wine and drinks to choose from and even some real criticism about the food.

We therefore boarded with trepidation - immediately we were met by friendly and competent staff, welcomed with a glass of champagne our cases taken from us and we were escorted to our cabin.

Our butler introduced herself and asked about our choice of bathroom toiletries and what drinks we would like in our room fridge. The room was spotlessly clean and although it could maybe do with an updating we had plenty of room - furnishings were smart and comfortable - the bed was also extremely comfortable. Good to see that the ship is going in for refurbishment later this year.

Cabin Review

Vista Suite - no balcony although for our trip to Norway where the weather was cold it wsa not necessary - we had a full window.

Ship is currently being refurbished so furnishings will be updated - this was needed as some of the furniture was a little dated.

King size bed - really comfortable and clean.

Good sitting area with comfortable settee and chairs with a good size table.

Walk in wardrobe and dressing area with full length hanging rail and plenty of drawers for clothes. Safe is available in wardrobe with own code etc.

Good size bathroom with shower over the bath although I think most rooms after the refurbishment will be walk in showers - will have to select if you want a bath. Good choice of toiletries and clean towels twice daily.

Television had good access to news channels and could borrow DVDs from the library to watch in your room. Fridge for drinks - this was replenished daily.

Only one plug socket though - not sure if this will be amended with the refurbishment.
