The help was amazing . Disappointed in the restaurants and the ship is worn and needs to be renovated. I will definitely go on another cruise with Silverseas on a different ship. We did like the size of the ship and the fact that the ratio of help to guest. Breakfast and Lunch were fine. Dinner was an issue. The menu did not vary enough. After 3 days we were bored with dinner. The excursions were all terrific. A little pricey but well worth it. Every suite has a butler and ours went out of his way to make sure all of our needs were mwt. Our daughter and Grandson were also with us on this cruise and again there Butler was terrific, as was the person who cleaned there suite. Every evening there were little suprises left in there room. Again the help on the ship really make the cruise memorable.
