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 ...
First off, I can not understand the negative reviews about this ship, although one has to wonder about someone who complains about how to use a sink! The ship is great and exceeded our expectations. Butler service, bar service and restaurant service were all top notch. Staff were exceptionally friendly without exception. Tours were run well and left on time (a positive for me).
Beds and pillows ...
Just returned from 16days on Silversea newest ship the Nova. While the ship is beautiful and the service for the most part was exceptional as always on Silversea I personally( actually several passengers agreed ) the Nova was not my cup of tea. The color palette thru out is very monochromatic and frankly dull. The spacious deserted long, long passages within the ship connecting venues made us ...
We were on the ship for 17 Days Lisbon to Lisbon which wasn't a back to back when we booked it but it was split at a later date when the itinerary was totally changed
We have cruised with Silversea 3 times before (Shadow and Spirit twice) but saw an interesting itinerary on a new ship and thought we would give it a go. Here is how our cruise turned out which was not what we had hoped ...
Our first time on Silversea, but we have sailed many times on their upmarket competitors. I loved almost everything about the design. The ship was 100% full, but it never felt crowded. The food was good, but not great. In particular, we were disappointed with La Terrazza and Kaiseiki. Their internet speeds (delivered via Starling) are excellent IF you sign up for the premium package; lousy ...
Booked for our wedding anniversary, expected a hassle-free excursion but to expect a few bumps along the way for a new ship. Unfortunately, SilverSea proved to be in "amateur night" mode throughout the trip, from no information provided from an MIA cruise agent at our pre-stay hotel in Monte Carlo to an unannounced US Coast Guard drill that made the ship off limits for almost a full day to have ...
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. ...
We chose the cruise because the Adriatic is the most beautiful and most calm see. The views are breathtaking. There are different restaurants on the cruise, but none comes close to the Grill on the 10th floor. The combination of high level cooking and the exceptional friendliness of the staff is the cherry on the cake. Isaac is the person that not only takes care of you, but goes the extra mile ...
We chose Silversea on this occasion for the itinerary, although we have cruised with them before and know that their standard is our standard.
The cruise was superb from start to finish. Although the ship is a little bit tired decor-wise, it did not detract from our enjoyment at all.
The food was of a uniformly high standard. We mostly ate in the main restaurant as the choice is excellent ...
