Rome (Civitavecchia) to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Silversea Cruise Reviews

We joined three other couples to celebrate the 70th birthday of one of our companions on board. We have sailed on 23 cruises with several cruise lines in the past, but not on Silversea. We found the cabins to be quite comfortable, and the service to be above average, but the, food and wine offerings were spotty at best. In addition, the ship's layout is quirky, with little logic to the location of ...

Let me frame my review… I am 55 and my wife and are regulars to Celebrity, Princess and looked forward to what is (almost) the maiden voyage of Silver Dawn. This is our second Silversea cruise and expectations were quite high. I have never reviewed a ship in my 25 years of cruising but when presented with numerous obstacles to provide feedback via the traditional on board cruise questionnaire I ...

I was very happy to be back on Silversea after several years of no cruising. Silver Dawn is a lovely ship and as usual the crew is spectacular. I think my butler was disappointed that I didn’t need much done. I did have a caviar one afternoon and he really wanted me to take a bath though I didn’t. Cabin is spacious as usual though the walk-in closets a little smaller than on the Muse. I love the ...

Sailing with Silversea as have done before was always going to be an adventure after a number of false starts due to Covid. Sailing from Civitavecchia was a pleasant drive from central Rome. Opting for pre-board Covid testing the system in place was all set up well for embarkation and the whole process ran smoothly. The boarding was efficient and the cabins were ready as embarkation was from ...

Chose this cruise because of the itinerary (mostly ports we had never visited) and a prior very positive experience on Silversea. The cruise itself, the staff, the ship, the overall experience was wonderful. However.... The pre-cruise experience was less than such. I will blame Covid. While we were aware that a 24-hour pre-embarkation test was required, which we chose to have administered ...

Chose for the ports and supposed to be luxury cruise.There was smoking on veranda bellow us and staff was powerless to handle it .could not stay out there.We had to pay 16 euros for a doppy train ride on the tour in Sardinia .Tour guide tells people best way to get to the beach area is this train.So everybody goes not knowing that you could walk.Now the guide is on the train and if you don’t go ...

I chose SiverSea for it's excellence in service, fine dining, low passenger ratio and ship interior. I received impeccable service, a beautiful ship , and outstanding destinations. For $25,000, I did not receive the quality of food, as promised, the wifi as promised, the spa as promised or the fitness facilities as promised, not to mention the entertainment. Wifi was non existent. Do not plan on ...

This was our 4th cruise on Silversea and we were very excited it was on the new Silver Muse. She is a beautiful well laid out ship. You can tell everything was well thought through. I loved her decor. I have read many reviews on this topic and I found it to be chic, simple and classy. The Muse's decor may be a touch more contemporary than the traditional decor found on other Silversea ships ...

I'm a 46 year old with a working wife and we do pretty well for ourselves. We live in an upscale suburb in the US and are members of a country club. I'm telling you this so, you have a frame of reference for the person writing this review. i.e. I know good stuff when I see it. I don't consider the Cheesecake Factory a five star dinning experience. Not that there's anything wrong with the ...

We chose this cruise because of our long history with Silversea. Our last cruise on The Wind showed us a very aging ship and amenities that worried us about Silversea's commitment to excellence. The Muse was a wonderful experience although the lack of intimacy of the smaller ships could be felt. Looking to our future cruise selections, we may need to look at competitive lines to maintain the ...
