You would think this is the greatest boat in the world. I've got news for you--sail with Regent or Seabourn instead. The pre-cruise hotel night was outrageously priced. The transfer from the hotel to the Silver Muse was unnecessarily delayed by the bus company. The cruise was egregiously overpriced, not only the cruise fare itself but also the shore excursions. Beware of the add on charges for ...
We had been on several cruises before - but never a luxury cruise - Boy were we in for a treat! We couldn't fault the Silver Muse - the boat was immaculate, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful , our butler Fredolito was a superman ! he seemed to anticipate our every whim and need. The on-board entertainment was great and the restaurants absolutely sublime. Going through Panama Canal was ...
The ships size is very nice and getting on and off the ship went very smoothly. Embarkation from NYC was lovely seeing the city light up as we cruised out of the harbor past the Statue of Liberty. We’ve been on 8 cruises and we were disappointed there was no food/buffet on the pool level as we cruised out of the harbor as there was on all past cruises. We found the ship to be very, very tired. ...
after reading some negative reviews, i am pleased to say that I found the ship to be lovely; understated elegance; lovely, large rooms; excellent service everywhere, including butler.
food was very good overall, and tours were overall very good also.
not a huge amount of entertainment, but the performers they did have were excellent.
fitness room is small, but all the equipment is brand ...
We recently completed a 14 day cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore. The itinerarywas great as it took us to Vietnam, Thailand and terminated in Singapore. Before booking this cruise I specifically asked if the ship had been refurbished and was assured that indeed it had been. However, Silversea uses this word differently than most people on our cruise as the dated decor was the common unifying ...
Wanted to see Asia for the first time, we were on this phone two months after it was launched in, South America. I can remember the services being some of the best I've ever had told my friends it was just like eating at a fine restaurant we're staying at a luxury hotel, those things have change drastically, most restaurants were hard to get into if not impossible, waitstaff varied from being Very ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We explored our departure and ariival cities on our own. We used some of the ship's excursions and also those provided by Abercrombie & Kent.
The ship definitely needs to be refurbished - it's old and tired looking. The gym, spa and beauty parlor also needs to be modernized.
Our cabin was nice and spacious - just a bit dark and very small ...
We chose this cruise because Silver Sea is one of several cruise 5-star luxury cruise lines and we liked the itinerary (and our friends asked us to join them). While the cruise was very good overall, we felt that some of the "rules" were rigid and the staff, while anxious to please, often wasn't well trained. On several occasions, we were told that the specialty dining room was sold out. We ...
I read every cruise critic review before we left and was a little concerned. Frankly, I think the negative reviews are wrong. Our service was outstanding every step of the way. Every crew member greeted us warmly. Our butler did a great job with every detail requested.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We only ate in the main dining room and LaTerraza....both were great. ...
My husband always wanted to go to Sicily and I always wanted to go to Sardinia, and this was perfect way to see both without having to plan it ourselves. The service on the ship was fantastic, the staff was exceptional. The only negatives were the pool was ridiculously small, because the weather was beautiful and after a day exploring, it was nice to come back to the ship and sit by the pool. Also ...
