We went on this cruise with a total of 8 people for spring break. Ft Lauderdale to Barbados.
We have cruised on mostly upscale cruise lines (Crystal, ect) and stay in mostly four and five star hotels so we know what this level of service is. In general, the ship was clean and well laid out but the service was absolutely horrible for this level of ship with almost a 1:1 staff/guest ratio. ...
We took a 13 night trip on the Muse in March around the Caribbean, Fort Lauderdale to San Juan. We booked directly with the line but made our own flight and prehotel arraignments. Everything was easy and all worked out as expected. This trip had ten ports which I believe was too many for the Caribbean. I would of liked a few more sea days. We have taken many trips and have been on most ocean ...
Desire to check out the latest Silversea ship the Silver Muse. In general we enjoyed everything. We still however prefer their smaller ships. However with close to 600 guests, we did not feel crowded. Coordination of services in 2 of the restaurants needs improvement (La Terrazza and Indochine). House keeping staff were efficient but didn't seem to have the same personnel connections as ...
Newness of ship, culinary experience. Our butler Pedro and cabin attendant Solty were excellent as was Tatejanna in the Spa. The entertainment bordered on amateur and the guide in Belize(tubing excursion) was horrible. the guide through the caves was excellent. Jesus in Cozumel excellent. We enjoyed every bit of our time on board and the cuisine superb. La Dame could kick it up a notch all others ...
From the moment we stepped on board it was 5 star luxury all the way....we were on deck 6 in the middle. The stateroom was spacious and very cleverly designed...space for 4 suitcases , a walk in wardrobe..big bath room veranda and fabulous bed sitting room...
The ship was the right size (450 to 500 passengers)...the service impeccable, dinning and restaurants all 5 star .. excursions very well ...
We have been on many Silversea cruises as well as cruises on most major cruise lines including Seaborn, Sea Dreams Yacht Club, Celebrity, NCL, and most other major cruise lines. About 40 cruises in all. We chose the Silver Muse for this cruise because it is a new ship and have enjoyed the Silversea cruise experience in the past.
First the good news. The Silver Muse is a beautiful ship. It is ...
I have sailed Silver Seas more than 600 days and got to know and befriend the crew on other ships. Knowing that SS chose the cream of the crew for Muse I wished to join them. The crew exceeded my expectations. As the ship is new there were very few visual or maintenance problems. The inexpensive art works were not great. My major problem was the dining experience. Firstly, and mainly, the in cabin ...
Wanted to see Rio and the Christ the Redeemer statue. Also, having cruised the western end (Peru) of the Amazon, we were interested in seeing the eastern end. From a nature and wildlife perspective, the Peruvian Amazon was much better and far less commercial. The small cruise ship there, however, only held about a dozen passengers and was nowhere nearly as luxurious as the Muse. Regarding the ...
lets start by saying this was the best holiday we ve ever done. Rio through the Amazon up to Florida.
What made it so good, everything. Crew were amazing, service unbelievable, food excellent.
I read some poor reviews before I embarked , cannot understand where they came from as we had a delightful experience.
25 days on board meant that we got to know all the crew including the ...
We chose this cruise when it was shortened from 18 to 12 days, ending in Lima rather than Valparaiso, which became an optional 5 day extension. We knew that there would be 5 days at sea, and assumed that those days would essentially be like staying at a 5 star hotel, and they were in some ways. There were 4 ports of call, but we will return to this. The cabin was beautifully appointed as was ...
