This was our first Silversea cruise and we were looking forward to 12 relaxing days of 6 star treatment!
Good: Room was spacious. Loved the food and service at the Grill/pool bar. We had steak, burgers, fish, chicken, salads (all of which was great). Also enjoyed the brick oven pizza and gelato. Probably the best gelato we have had outside of Italy! We did not go to any of the shows, but ...
Suite chosen as it was to go South and enjoy a gracious Christmas at sea. Unfortunately there was no priest or minister aboard unlike other cruise lines during such holidays. Cabins/suites are now very handsome and luxurious. Unfortunately the size of the ship does not handle rough seas well. Cuisine was fine, but not outstanding and meals especially soups were tepid versus hot; likewise a steak ...
We are long time Celebrity cruisers..Elite Plus..and have been generally happy with our cruises. However, I wanted to find out what we are missing by not booking a 6 star ship. Nice ship, but not nearly worth the up charge involved. Back to Celebrity.
The ship is one of Silversea's older and smaller (28,000 tons), but it had been refurbished just before this cruise. The ship's interior is ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the cruise line. We had sailed with Silver Sea's on the Spirit two years ago. Some things have greatly improved from our initial sailing.
1. Level of service was excellent from the pool waiters to our butler and cabin steward. The crew was very engaged in making sure you had whatever you needed to make the trip enjoyable. If you made a ...
This should have been an outstanding cruise, but, it was extremely inconsistent. The positives were:
The Wait Staff were outstanding. They were efficient, professional, and an out standing group of individuals. Gilbert, thr Maitre d'hotel is a master.
We had the best butler we have ever had aboard a cruise. The housekeepers were very good.
The entertainment was very, very good. The ...
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. ...
This was our first cruise for many years and we went with good friends. It was generally enjoyable but certainly not outstanding.
The cabins were comfortable and the staff well trained and invariably pleasant and helpful.
There are many restaurants on the Silver Muse. Food is fresh and plentiful but not particularly exciting and at La Dame, where passengers have to pay extra to dine, I could ...
Selected cruise because it was presumed to be an upscale line. It was upscale in many respects but failed in others. Good food, excellent service and mostly a well trained staff. Ship layout lacked some of the features found on Seabourn. Out butler was not trained and was virtually useless. Service in the dining room was unreasonably slow. Wait time between courses averaged 20 or more minutes in ...
Overall a very nice ship in appearance and space to passengers ratio was good. Will not be too judgemental but really expected more for the price and hype of advertising. Embassy suites is nice to stay at night before embarkation---Tip: arrive early for embarkation and miss the gaggle (as early as noon although cabin may not be ready until 2:00pm)...Majority of guests where from Europe (Great ...
After researching different cruise lines on cruise critic and looking at their itineraries decided to try the Silver Spirit for our Caribbean vacation.
This is our third cruise in 3 years. The first was on Seabourn Quest going to Canada in 2015.
Last year was Oceania, Riveria also to Caribbean and 2017 Silver Seas, Silver Spirit.
Silver Seas ranks in the middle, Seabourn being the best ...
