We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. That part of the cruise lived up to expectations.
The staff was pleasant and competent. All else, did not live up to expectations. The quality of the food, wines, lectures, desserts were terrible (the same mold every night with different fillings). and entertainment were much less than expected. We thought that this was NOT a luxury cruise. What more can I say. We went with Seaborn last year and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The ONLY thing on Silverseas was the check-in. That was the best part of our first day.
Some of the tours were ok, serval were excellent. The ship store was awful. I bought a pair of earrings and got home to find one of the backs missing. There was little to purchase and the choices were very poor. The was time with no hot water as well as often needing serval extra blankets-we had three in our room.
0The cabin was fine-furniture worn. Service excellent.
