Having gone off SS some years ago after 2 weeks on Silver Wind and 6 rich French Cigar Smokers spoiling enjoyment it was with some trepidation we booked Silver Muse Japan Itinery because it did ports other lines did not and especially chance to see KenroykanGarden .
The ship is stunning as is our standard suite , staff are lovely , food is great cannot fault any of it so far beautiful granite ...
We chose this itinerary because it was (primarily) around Japan during the Cherry Blossom season, and we travelled with a lovely British couple we have known for years. This past summer we cruised for the sixth time with Seabourn and, despite post pandemic, Seabourn (the newer ship) was as good as it ever has been. Not so Silversea.
To be sure, the Muse is still a luxury product but a step or, ...
Doubtless, this is a comfortable and clean ship with excellent cabins ( apart from a hard mattress ) and has some very obliging crew, especially the butler and cleaner assigned to our suite.
Beyond that though: The number 1 complaint is the food, which is substandard at best. In 2 weeks we never once had a complete meal where we were satisfied. The meat was completely tasteless on every ...
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 ...
Having read some of the previous reviews I was a bit nervous about taking part in what was an expensive holiday for us. Adding to the concerns were the problems with arranging flights back to UK from Japan - Silverseas obviously work to a limited budget and it took several attempts to find a flight that didnt require over 24 hours travel, crossing Tokyo in a couple of hours one side to the ...
This was part of a broader holiday experience acquired through Imaging Cruising. Reason for going was to visit places that were on our travel wish list - Singapore, Vietnam, HK and especially Japan. It was a late booking and we were fortunate to be given a cabin upgrade by Silversea on embarcation, which just made the whole adventure better.
Neither of us are particular lovers of 'days at sea' ...
Just came back from a 2 months cruise in Asia on the Spirit. Everything beat our expectation from day one to the very end at Mumbai.
Embarkation at Singapore was smooth and easy.
Food is amazing. Caviar, lobster, rack of lamb, etc, available every day.
Regular wines are very good. Great Champagne. A la carte wine list are to die for.
Service is friendly and professional. Great Maitre ...
We chose this cruise primarily for the itiniary and except for the New Zealand ports (Auckland and Bay of Islands) everything was new to us. There is no doubt that sailing on a luxury ship like Silver Shadow through Melanesia, Micronesia and the Philippines can't get any better and Silversea did an excellent job choreographing the whole process.
This was our first Silversea experience as we've ...
First time on Silversea, having sailed on Crystal previously.
Loved it from start to finish. Extremely clean and pretty ship with fresh flowers simply everywhere.Excellent cruise Director and wonderful crew and cruisers.Entertainment good, food excellent, room service very good,excursions usually good.
Highlights:
The caviar--at any time and any where.
Gentlemen hosts --made the ...
Yikes, Silver Seas is a massive disappointment. I have sailed with Crystal, Oceania, Regent, and Seabourn and I was looking forward to Silver Seas but it was a big let down. There is nothing redeeming about the ship and I would strongly recommend any other line.
Three Big Issues:
1) World Cup- it was sold as a World Cup cruise. A few weeks before the cruise they send a notice to say Qatar ...
