Silversea Silver Spirit Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

My wife and I chose this cruise to finish a self managed holiday as we were in Europe and wanted to travel through the Suez Canal to Dubai and this cruise had the stops we wanted included three days in Egypt. My wife and I cruised the Silver Spirit from Athens to Dubai in late October through to mid-November 2023 and now have had time to reflect on the experience from booking through to ...

We have over 130 days travel with SS on various ships and each time and on each ship we have felt ‘special’ and enjoyed every aspect - food, service, entertainment - everything. However, we really struggled to enjoy this cruise. In the Atlantide the food was served luke-warm and on occasions, after long wait. Even then accompanying sauces and butter had to be chased up. The extremely sparse and ...

This cruise was attractive as it went through the Middle East from Mumbai and we had already traveled twice with SilverSeas prior the sale to Royal Caribbean.Both trips were excellent with Italian class. On this trip the cabins are fine and the staff just excellent….but.. Many on board agreed the food had gone backwards in quality ,was tasteless and most of the wine offerings were very ...

This line offers you 1 free tour a day but most of the tours are 8:30-9:30 .When asked about that they said they can only get guides at that time .Baloney other cruise ships offered late morning or early afternoon tours.Why should I have to wake up early and gulp down breakfast on a vacation.I can see some tours like Ephesus that can get very hot and crowded.Also in Santorini why not contract for ...

Silversea has always been seen as the pinnacle of cruising. As it's branded as "ultra-luxury" we've waited a long time to be able to sail and with great anticipation. We found this amazing 7 night Greek Isles & Turkey itinerary and had to book it right away. We did our research, read reviews, joined even joined the informal group on Facebook to read about what to expect. It all sounded so amazing: ...

Sadly, having experienced the Silverseas all inclusive luxury we won’t be returning. Having cruised seven times previously with five different mid-range cruise lines; Cunard, MSC, Celebrity and others we thought we might blow our annual holiday budget, saved after many Covid enforced cancelations, on one top end cruise and be seriously spoilt. Other than the feeling of space on board the Silver ...

We went on the cruise as a special treat as we would not normally spend this amount of money on a 10 day cruise. Silverseas were highly recommended by our travel agent who told us to expect 6 star treatment. Our initial thoughts about the ship were very positive it was in pristine condition. The staff were excellent (The staff on every cruise that we have been on were also excellent), and our ...

Chose for the ports. There were no port lectures. No childrns activities Entertainment was poor especially the post show panorama lounge. Felt like the cruise line wanted us to go to bed, did private tours and no admissions were included in the tour which I felt like being nickel and dime'd. La terrazza service lacking and tables dirty for breakfast. Always had to wait for outside ...

This was our fifth cruise with Silversea. Ports were excellent and dates worked for us. Thought the food was average, dinner service was ok. Suite (848) was not good because of a constant vibration in the wall whenever the ship was underway. Something wrong when the wall is vibrating all the way up on the 8th deck. Makes you wonder about the engines/props. Could not read in bed because the ...

Everything I read indicated this was the Best, for starters, the food was not as good as Carnival Cruise line, Expected much better quality for the cost of the Cruise. WIFI was free for only 1 hour total the entire cruise. Speciality Dinning was inpossible to get, even when the dinning rooms were half empty (we checked, looked in at all hours listed). Tried to book reservations on line months ...
