We have sailed with Silversea before and really loved it. This cruise was no different. Great Accommodations, Great Excursions, Awesome Crew and we love the fact that it's all inclusive.The captain and crew kept us up to date on all activities, embarking and disembarking procedures as well as up to date news regarding the cruise. The food was very good and the selections were great! The facilities ...
This particular cruise was an absolute failure in terms of delivering on any of the marketing made on their website or in their expensive shiny brochures and I do not think I will ever sail on Silversea again. Where to start? First of all, we are well experienced as cruisers, and as travelers, have refined palates and are all lovers of fine wines...so we did have a standard of expectations here, ...
I was on the booze cruise that seem to be some elses’s party. I have had in the past wonderful relaxing trips on Silverseas. After a couple of tough years I was looking forward returning to Silverseas and a relaxing seven days and being spoilt.
As soon as I boarded Whisper I went as usual for a relaxing drink by the pool to get over my journey and while waiting for my luggage to arrive in my ...
We had a Silver Suite - spacious, clean and reasonably comfortable. Our butler (Ronaldo) was superb. And the Voices of Silversea (singers) were exceptional.
BUT this is not 6* luxury cruising, and they have clearly taken a corporate decision to cut costs wherever they can. For example:

This was supposed to be an “Ultra Luxury cruise with a sophiticated ambience with like minded travellers”. Instead Silversea sold two group bookings so that out of a maximum capacity when full of 380 passengers over 270 were group bookings. The larger group was over 220. If this wasn’t bad enough, the group were low earning commission agents who were a part of a multi-level network marketing ...
Room as not huge but very serviceable. The balcony held two and made ample use of it for sleeping and reading. The fridge was stocked with water, beers and sodas. If I had wanted wine, they would have supplied. The closet was ample for two people, with drawers and hangers. The bathroom contained both a tub and shower and we could choose among several options which soaps and shampoos they would ...
I had cruised with my Mother two year's prior on the Silver Cloud for her 70th birthday. We went to similar ports - Nice to Rome, in October of 2006. My mother and I had such a great time on that cruise, that my husband wanted to give it a try. So, we booked the Silver Whisper, Rome to Monte Carlo, but this time we chose high season in June. Both cruises were great in their own ways.
My husband ...
