Silversea Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Cruise Reviews

Ship decor is stunning. Staff was awesome and go above and beyond. The ship had few public bathrooms. The food was average and disappointing. I had many meals where I did not finish eating the entree. Main dining room is poorly managed steaks were tough and flavorless. The Salt bar is lovely and has a wonderful staff. Cooking class was another highlight. The chef was sincere and ...

We booked the grand voyage for 70 days around Central and South America. Our 1st cruise with this company and likely our last. For 1/2 the money I wouldn’t bother writing this but for what they charge I feel compelled. The marketing and hype doesn’t match what was delivered. The food isn’t very good on the whole. It’s monotonous, poorly conceived and executed. I could write a book about what ...

We chose SilverSea for our once in a lifetime 70 day grand tour of South America because of its reputation in the industry. I was excited about the SALT kitchen and lab, and I was disappointed. The idea behind the SALT experience is that they offer food and classes that highlight the cuisine of the area you’re cruising, and I really like that. The issue was with the execution of the cuisine, which ...

We have sailed Silversea before and have always been happy. I was excited to be on a new class of ship. It did not disappoint. This was a New Year's sailing and the ship was packed, but it still felt spacious. We love the number of venues with outdoor seating as that is where we would rather be. Only one thing went horribly wrong and that was the Gala Dinner on NYE. It simply was not ...

We’ve sailed 4 times with Silversea - but never again! We paid $45,000 for a Silver Suite on Deck 11. Well worth the extravagance - great comfort and butler service very good. And there the satisfaction ended! Food aboard is adequate; quality of meat 2 notches below what were used to. Lamb and beef poor. Lobster and turbot very good. Shrimps watery from freezer. Quality of food ...

Just finished up a Christmas cruise to the West Indies on the Silver Dawn. Eleven days, Ft. Lauderdale – Ft. Lauderdale. Ship almost full. Embarkation: No real problem. It did take about 40 minutes, but this was more because of the procedures of the Ft. Lauderdale port rather than Silversea. Passengers were allowed on at 2pm greeted with a warm welcome and a cold towel. Suites were not ready ...

Grand Voyage experience, crew moral and hotel operations significantly improved under HD Marius’s direction compared to his predecessor who lacked experience. Pre cruise hotel stay at the Conrad were excellent. Transfer and embarkation were both time consuming and chaotic. It was hazardous from a Covid viewpoint due to lack of social distancing. The Silver Moon is a nicely designed ship with ...

Covid clearly impacted this cruise. We were told that 10 percent of the crew was in quarantine, then told later that it was closer to 50%. This included the cruise director, who was absent the entire cruise, and the captain, who we were told was still providing direction and in charge. Reportedly, no crew member required medical treatment, which was great news. Of course, this impacted ...

DH and I are experienced misc. luxury cruisers (though we have also tried Oceania, Celebrity, and Holland America), with no loyalty to any particular line. This 16-day Central America/Panama Canal cruise (originally planned to end in Peru, but changed a couple weeks before sailing due to Covid) was our first Moon cruise, though we had cruised with Silversea before on the older ships. We started ...

We booked 2 back-to-back cruises. Boarding was a joke with only 2 lateral flow testing stations and registration (which itself took some 15 minutes) for 350+ passengers. What we didn't know was that the previous cruise had suffered a Covid outbreak, with all sorts of rumours about numbers circulating amongst those onboard. Thereafter, it soon became obvious that there were problems. 4 restaurants ...
