My wife and I chose this cruise because it left where we wanted (New York, a 30 minute cab ride from our apartment) and went where we wanted to go (Barbados) with stops on the way (Bermuda, San Juan, St Barts) we like, plus it was a new ship, looked beautiful in the photos and we like being at sea. We're not ardent cruisers, but will take traveling by ship over an airplane when a ship is an ...
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 ...
ABOUT US: My wife and I (in our 50s) wanted to find a cruise on a smaller ship without the masses of people since this was our first cruise. We have heard nightmares from the larger cruise ships and wanted to avoid the "hairy chest contest" cruise lines. In all candor, I was not looking forward to the cruise since i am not accustom to being in a confined or crowded location. We have high quality ...
After an illness in the family, we needed some "away" time, but not too far away. So we selected a 10-day cruise up the east coast and down the St. Lawrence to Montreal. Our first cruise on SilverSea and we were not disappointed. Our cabin was larger than on many other cruise lines, the food and service were excellent, our butler and attendant were incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful -- ...
We chose this cruise because we love the service on Silversea and wanted a small ship experience in cruising the St. Lawrence Seaway to experience fall colors. The timing was perfect as we were able to see the fall colors throughout New England and Canada over the 10 day cruise. The excursions allowed options that customized our experience and we chose a variety including, but not limited to, a ...
We chose Silversea's Montreal to New York based on the itinerary and reputation of the cruise line. The Silver Spirit is definetly upscale with design and excellant, friendly service throughout the ship. The dining options were plentiful and good , not great , which was a bit disappointing . For a 10 day cruise , even though the dining options were varied, the menus stayed the same . It would ...
We decided to cruise with 7 other friends in our community and always had this itinerary on our ‘bucket list’. The newly renovated ship and its size and amenities seemed to fulfill our requirements.Pre-cruise contacts with Esther Paine from Silverseas were excellent, and we embarked with high expectations for personalized service. Pre-planning of excursions and dining reservations went smoothly ...
This was our second cruise with Silversea, and we loved it equally as much! The ship was renovated earlier in the year, so the cabin was state of the art. It was especially helpful to have a bedside electrical outlet for my C-Pap machine. And USB ports for charging devices was a plus. The bathroom is so spacious and the shower beats mine at home, with its instant hot water! The bed was so comfy ...
Embarkation from NYC was fabulous. We arrived in the city a few days early and enjoyed our time there. The ship is clean, well maintained, and attractive. Our cabin was the same. Roshan and Aaron were fantastic at their duties, always friendly and happy to comply with our requests. We enjoyed most of the dining rooms although we did not go to LaDame because of the upcharge. I can't praise ...
We picked this cruise to celebrate our 75th and 80th birthdays! It was the perfect venue. My husband has mobility issues and the size of the Silver Spirit was manageable for him. The staff was outstanding in assisting him with the shore excursions.
Our butler was very attentive and we enjoyed the daily breakfast in our stateroom complete with tablecloth and the finery of a hotel.
The food ...
