This was our second Silversea cruise - the first was on the Silver Spirit in November, 2010. Having been on several Regent cruises, we felt it was time try another luxury line. We were impressed with the service on the Spirit but did not really care for the ship. The Whisper was recommended by friends, so we booked it.
Flights from Vancouver to New York were difficult at best. Silversea worked with us to get the best flights possible. We flew from Vancouver to Los Angeles and then directly to New York (sounds difficult, but this was the best routing we could find)
Embarkation
Our cabin (#727) was perfect! However, all Silver Suites on the Whisper are under the swimming pool area. Specifically, ours was under the pool bar. You can hear noise (moving boxes?) from 6:00 a.m. It did not bother us. . . . just something to be aware of.
