Silversea Cruise Reviews

We paid £187 pp. per day for the cruise - a lot less than what the luxury cruise lines charge - but not worth it. The ship itself is OK. Quite new, spaceous and well maintained. The cabins are large and clean with good size balconies and bathrooms with a shower stall and an ample tub. However “the product” (food, service and entertainment) is definitely low budget. Low budget food ...

Thought Silversea's was a high end cruise line. Veteran cruiser with many trips on Oceania, Princes,and many other lines. First: disappointing customer service. One of the reasons we selected this cruise was the itinarary, Auckland to Sydney with a stop at Philip Island to see penguins. Somewhere between booking and sailing they changed the itinarary and eliminated Pillip Island. No notice, ...

We booked this cruise leaving in January 9 months prior because we like the Owner's Suites and knew we needed to grab those while available. We had fond memories of 2 other Silversea cruises; particularly the butlers we became close with and the food and wine on board. We boarded the ship in Barbados which started things off slightly less than streamline. There were two seperate buses we had to ...

My wife and I started cruising with Seabourn in 1999 a few years before Carnival aquired them. We achieved diamond status while watching Carnival slowly choking the life out of the brand with budget cuts. We left Seabourn at the doorstep to the hospice. We weren’t around for the funeral. Carnival recently tried sell the corpse but nobody wanted to buy it. They have resorted to selling off the ...

This was our first cruise since the pandemic. We were excited to finally get back into cruising. We enjoyed our cruise very much. The food was very good, but not excellent. The staff was friendly, always smiling, and seemed happy. Our cabin was nicely appointed, comfortable and well taken care of. However, since this was billed as one of "the best cruise lines" with top-shelf wine and ...

This was our second Silversea cruise and our second time on the Silver Dawn. We liked departing from Barbados to avoid the sea days from Florida but the actual port facility in Bridgetown is more industrial and less convenient for cruising with two shuttle bus rides – one to a warehouse building for check in and another to the actual ship. Other than that, the embarkation (and disembarkation) ...

Just returned from a 12 day Caribbean cruise on Silver Dawn and we were quite disappointed, but we cannot pinpoint why. Its a lovely ship and the crew were great. The layout of the deck gave rise to limited sunbed availability on sea days - not helped by individuals grabbing the double sunbeds for themselves. There is a big area of deck gone to waste forward of the pool area above the ...

many areas of this cruise to comment on, most good a few in need of improvement, see below Ship Having been on several Silversea cruises it was easy to orientate yourself on board straight away. The ship is the newest of theirs we've been on and was immaculate, the crew brilliant and had several new features way better than the old ones including: - Great cabins, lots of space, good ...

The most disappointing and dreadful cruise I have ever had. We booked six ports. Received four. There was hardly any time at all on land. Most of our holiday was stuck on the ship with very little entertainment and no enhancement relevant to Africa. The food was poor to average. A curry one evening was the worst thing I have ever tasted in a restaurant. An own brand frozen curry would have ...

This was a 21-day b2b from Jan 5 to Jan 26 with a quite unusual itinerary. I chose it because it included some ports to which I had not been and many which are not visited by many cruise lines. We were the only ship in most places. The ship – The Silver Dawn is a new ship which had just come out in 2022. It was in beautiful shape with no rust and no worn places. It has an unusual layout – ...
