I really mean 3.5 as a rating.
We had also been on this ship when we did the Grand Voyage around South America earlier in the year...which met expectations.
Not so much here. Our bathroom smelled for an odour coming from the bathroom. They tried to find the source but could not stop it. So eventually the staff (with one exception) agreed that there was no smell. So when we were ashore we ...
We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary - the line was secondary but intriguing as we had never sailed on Silversea before.
This was our first time cruising with the Silversea cruise line. It is the luxury side of the Royal Caribbean family of cruise lines. Prior to this we had one other encounter with another luxury cruise line - Regent - and for the most part Silversea ...
The ports in Japan were outstanding and the time of the year was perfect for us. The weather is also lovely in Japan in October. The stop in South Korea was a great bonus.
The stateroom are worn, dated, and in ill-repair. Our carpeting was buckled and a "trip hazard". Our neighbors' carpet was actually ripped. The furniture had parts of the wood that were worn through the finish. The drawers ...
Review of Silversea Silver Muse and trip to Japan September/October 2023
We booked a Silver Suite, D2D, with a refund for the air.
We used points, and booked Delta One, with lay flat beds.
We planned to arrive a couple of days before sailing to account for any travel difficulties.
We prearranged the transfer from the Haneda Tokyo airport to the Westin Yokohama,
The company was ...
My husband and I just returned from the Silver Whisper in Japan. A little background, we have over 25 cruises under our belts including 5 since Covid ended, this cruise being our 6th post-Covid. We have cruised Seabourn, Oceania, Viking, Azamara, and suites on Royal, NCL, and Celebrity as well as regular rooms on Princess and Royal.
The Great
The food quality and preparation were excellent ...
This was a strange mixture of everything from perfect to intolerable on a small ship luxury voyage.
One perfect part was the “door-to-door” performance, cost is a different matter, but performance was perfect. The limo transfers at home, via BlackLane, were on time and the drivers were excellent. The transfer from Haneda to the Tokyo Conrad was also perfect. The Conrad was an excellent ...
We chose this cruise because we had heard that the food was excellent and the excursions good.
The ship is only 3 years old but looks much older. We tried every restaurant on the ship, even La Dame where we had to pay $60 each extra. Le Dame was by far the best of a bad bunch but the meals were still sub par.
The terrace restaurant was basically inedible. Even the buffet which was poorly ...
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 ...
Would not cruise with them again. Food mediocre especially buffet lunch and two of the restaurants charged $60 and another $40 per person in the evening. Champagne served was Axel Yaz !!
On the third day was informed they had run out of Axel Yaz and they were trying to push Prosecco. It was an expensive cruise but in our opinion not worth the money. The suites were okay but nothing special. ...
The SilverSea experience was poor, very poor.
Starting with the booking experience. The “consultant” provided no guidance, information or value. Matter of fact, I would have been better off if there was an online booking option.
As an example, we ended up booking a $500 transfer from Anchorage to Seward because we weren’t told about no cost SilverSea transport options.
Then the ...
