I took this 32-day b2b in order to do two complete transits of the Panama Canal, one from each direction. It did not disappoint.
The ship – All I can say is wow! The Silver Nova is a brand-new ship with a beautiful layout and décor. It was a small ship, easy to get around, did not feel crowded anywhere. The artwork was beautiful. It had all kinds of interesting design features. The public ...
We have enjoyed 37 cruises, but this was our first time on Silversea. We were eager to test drive, and there were no disappointments. The stand-out was the food, quality and variety. We kept telling ourselves, "This is NOT cruise ship food." It was more like going to a very good restaurant on land. Inventive quality cooking. Also great were all the bars (and there are a lot of them!) and the ...
After our last cruise on SB was a total disaster…(Diamond members sailed 273 days) we thought why not try SS on a little 12 days crossing…what a difference! Cabin 7** mid ship was very comfortable, met our butler, didn’t really have to ask for anything as items replaced promptly…as soon as noticed…we ate in all the dining venues some twice….has a great experience in all of them. The food was good ...
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 ...
This was our fourth cruise on the Spirit. We love the staff and the ship. Butler and room attendent were very good. Upon arrival cleanliness was definitely suspect. We complained and they fixed that day and going forward no real issues. We only had service to the room in the evening. Covid spread was definitely all around us particularly in our mid ship level 6 location thus our desire to not have ...
We wanted to try another 6 star line and we were not disappointed. Embarkation was very easy. It helped that we left on a Tuesday and were the only ship in port. We arrived earlier than noon and were allowed on the ship. Service at lunch was very slow, but fortunately it improved greatly. We were led to believe that it was dressier at dinner than it actually was. Most men wore jackets for ...
My partner and I, both 60, joined a business group for the first 5 days of this 11-day sailing. This was my first time on Silversea but not my first cruise. I have been on 36 other cruises on 11 other lines so I feel I have a good base of comparison.
We flew into Ft. Lauderdale the day before embarkation and enjoyed riding the Water Taxi past the celebrity homes and yachts. Embarkation on the ...
Overall our cruise was delightful. The only downsides being: first, some of the ports on this cruise (Road town,Tortola and Rouseau, Dominca) were odd choices. They are both sadly still suffering from hurricane damage. My second issue was the awful wi-fi, even with the premium service we received for being in a Silver Suite. At times it simply did not work, and we were only doing emails and ...
Silver Spirit at Christmas time is a beautifully decorated ship, as well as one of the most pleasant to cruise. The extension added new cabins as well as enlarging the main dining room. No reservations are needed there, and it was never filled. The menu has multiple choices, but does not vary from day to day during a ten day cruise. There is enough to choose from in the main dining room, and ...
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 ...
