Went with two friends, at their recommendation. Silver Nova is a very nice ship, with good interior design. Service was excellent on board.
The food was a let-down. The menus were great, but the food was mostly below par. We had reservations at the paid dining rooms, but we cancelled when the prices were raised to astronomical levels. I can understand having paid restaurants, but trying to ...
The booking was triggered by a trip over Christmas and New Year with the destination Central America. Added to this was the cruise line's "reputation" in the premium segment.
The ship is a very new ship (built in 2023) and therefore the condition of the ship is of course top.
The cabins leave nothing to be desired. They are beautifully furnished and offer plenty of space and storage space. ...
We traveled Lisbon to Lisbon for 21 days starting mid-October. We chose this cruise because it included many ports we had not visited previously. Unfortunately, they had to cancel two ports - Tangier and Casablanca - presumably due to the situation in the Mideast. But they substituted an extra night in Malaga and Lisbon, so that was fine. Since we have previously cruised with Seabourn, we were ...
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 booked the grand voyage for 70 days around Central and South America. Our 1st cruise with this company and likely our last. For 1/2 the money I wouldn’t bother writing this but for what they charge I feel compelled. The marketing and hype doesn’t match what was delivered.
The food isn’t very good on the whole. It’s monotonous, poorly conceived and executed. I could write a book about what ...
We chose SilverSea for our once in a lifetime 70 day grand tour of South America because of its reputation in the industry. I was excited about the SALT kitchen and lab, and I was disappointed. The idea behind the SALT experience is that they offer food and classes that highlight the cuisine of the area you’re cruising, and I really like that. The issue was with the execution of the cuisine, which ...
My wife and I travelled from Lima, Peru to Miami on Silver Moon Dec 2022 to Jan 2023. Good food, comfort and ship atmosphere are important.
Have sailed many times with Princess and lately many times with Seabourn; now our favorite.
Cabin
We had a deluxe balcony suite which is about 8 inches narrower than the comparable Seabourn suite. The Silver Moon (SM) suite is not as practically or as ...
Overall Silversea remains a top quality luxury cruise product. Unfortunately, embarkation for this cruise was the most unprofessional fiasco EVER experienced with "any" cruise. Shipboard systems apparently malfunctioned, so it created a problem in the usual boarding procedures. Hiccups can happen with all companies, but it is "how" the crew responds to such problems that underscores the difference ...
let us begin with boarding, simple straight forward, from arriving at the dock to actually boarding it took no more than 30 minutes, we were on ship having lunch and first cocktail.Our first night was having dinner in La terrazza, food was excellent, house wines were in our opinion for the entire cruise excellent, we have owned a restaurant in Sydney for 15 years, so have good understanding of the ...
This was my 7th cruise on silversea cruises my first on this ship. The ship itself is is elegant, comfortable and like others I have sailed on aesthetically pleasing. The cabin was excellent and well serviced.
The food in its main restaurant atlantide offered a poor selection and very unpredictable quality. The service at times was worse than shocking, however the staff did their best in what ...
