We last sailed with Silversea 10 years ago (on Silver Spirit) but when we saw a cruise that appealed to us we thought we would give them a try again. We had very little communication from Silversea after booking other than an email explaining their covid procedures.

The balcony decking we reported on our last cruise as a tripping hazard is just the same on this cruise even though we were in a different suite.

We were met at Barcelona airport by an agent but they didn’t wait at the baggage hall exit as usual. There was a general airport sign showing where cruise passengers should go so look out for that or you could very easily miss the agents. Read more
