Silver Shadow December 12-21, 2006 Barbados - Ft. Lauderdale

This was our first trip with Silversea. We decided on this cruise due to favorable press and internet reviews of Silversea, a fantastic price considering the all-inclusiveness of Silversea, the time of the cruise - just at the beginning of our long, Chicago winters and the itinerary included a number of islands that we have not been to. What also made the cruise especially wonderful was that some wonderful British friends we had met on the Radisson (now Regent) Navigator in 2004 were able to join us.

We have been active on the various internet boards for some time, but for those who don't know us, we are both salaried professionals in our early 50's with a love of travel and cruising in particular. Most of our cruises have been on Celebrity, although, as mentioned above, we have cruised with Regent once and decided to try Silversea for our early winter cruise this year. Read more
