Booked for our wedding anniversary, expected a hassle-free excursion but to expect a few bumps along the way for a new ship. Unfortunately, SilverSea proved to be in "amateur night" mode throughout the trip, from no information provided from an MIA cruise agent at our pre-stay hotel in Monte Carlo to an unannounced US Coast Guard drill that made the ship off limits for almost a full day to have ...
We had a great experience on this ship last year and were very excited to be back but unfortunately something has changed. The ship is as beautiful as ever and very comfortable but the level of service was not as good and the food was generally quite poor. We loved Atlantide and because the others were not very good tended to eat there all the time which became quite boring. Indochine and terrazzo ...
WE choose this cruise because of the itinerary, and because we were traveling with a group of friends from "La Chaine des Rotisseure," which was a great experience on previous cruises.
I wish we would stay in some places over night, considering how close the ports were from each other.
Food was not so great comparing with previous cruises, except for the Grill.
I think, there were not ...
We joined a golfing group of 8 people for this cruise. The embarkation process was quite smooth but as soon as we boarded it was evident that this ship is very tired and badly in need of refurbishment.
We had a Silver Suite so that our accommodation was quite spacious. The butler and room attendant were both excellent, but that is where excellence stopped.
The restaurant is staffed mostly by ...
We have sailed with Silversea since 2001, only on SHADOW and WHISPER. Wanted to sail on the new MUSE, with just the best of all itineraries. We sailed on the ship from Aug 20-Sep 28 (3 segments).
Silversea is changing their dining situation. This ship comes with 6 different dining options, of which on our segments one had to make a reservation for each night before you boarded the ship. ...
I was told how Silversea was outstanding in all areas. I was disappointed with the room service, excursions and food. The excursions were deplorable yet costly. After 3 excursions, I cancelled all remaining excursion preferring instead to go solo. It was evident that Silversea did not preview these excursions and chose instead to market to its customers a bait of a great experience when in fact ...
The Pros: Beautiful new ship. Common areas of the ship were very spacious. Service from the crew was excellent. For those who enjoy wines and alcoholic drinks the selection of top self brands is very good at no charge.
The Cons: The Premium Restaurants were not worth the $60 per person price. La Dame was in my opinion awful. When you go and pay a surcharge to eat in a ship's premium restaurant ...
I chose this cruise as a result of the extremely good reviews and marketing by Oceania. It was also a special birthday being 80yrs young on the 15th August. There were plusses and negatives. Wait staff, Deck staff and especially bar staff were excellent. I have to commend the head bar tender Mikhael in Martinis as the best I have come across. Room staff were noticeable by their absence. The ...
We have taken several voyages on Regent cruise ships and decided to try what was advertised as comparable to Regent for a Western Mediterranean cruise on Seabourn Sojourn October 2016. The dining experiences were flawless and there was enough liquor offered to float a boat. However, if you are looking for excursion experiences off this ship, which we were, they were lacking. I called the cruise ...
Ship is beautiful, rooms just as described, beds great, tours were very good. Food was hit and miss but not really what I hoped for, had as good or better at other resorts for a fraction of the price. Some parts of the meals seemed prepared way ahead of time and looked and tasted like it. Service in the specialty restaurants was iffy, especially the French and Asian, there it was bad to pushy and ...
