lets start by saying this was the best holiday we ve ever done. Rio through the Amazon up to Florida.
What made it so good, everything. Crew were amazing, service unbelievable, food excellent.
I read some poor reviews before I embarked , cannot understand where they came from as we had a delightful experience.
25 days on board meant that we got to know all the crew including the ...
Wanted to see Rio and the Christ the Redeemer statue. Also, having cruised the western end (Peru) of the Amazon, we were interested in seeing the eastern end. From a nature and wildlife perspective, the Peruvian Amazon was much better and far less commercial. The small cruise ship there, however, only held about a dozen passengers and was nowhere nearly as luxurious as the Muse. Regarding the ...
I have sailed Silver Seas more than 600 days and got to know and befriend the crew on other ships. Knowing that SS chose the cream of the crew for Muse I wished to join them. The crew exceeded my expectations. As the ship is new there were very few visual or maintenance problems. The inexpensive art works were not great. My major problem was the dining experience. Firstly, and mainly, the in cabin ...
The route seemed perfect to us: A few nights in Buenos Aires before the cruise, a few nights after in Rio and some great places in-between: we knew this was for us! And in fact most of it was wonderful, especially Punta del Este (grab a taxi to Bikini Beach), a day in the Pampas on a lovely farm, the un-touristy destination of Montevideo, the final Carnival parade at the Sambódromo, Rio in general ...
My wife and I wanted to visit South America and this cruise matched up well. This is our fourth cruise on Silversea and we'd rate it as our best. We ate at La Terraza, Indochine, Atlantides, and the Grill and found all of them to be superb in both quality and service. Our room was very comfortable and our butler provided service that was above and beyond excellent. The attention to detail from ...
We chose this cruise because of the S. American itinerary and because the Muse was a new ship.We were concerned about the previous negative reviews we had read related to dining and formal nights and we were pleased to see that these items were not an issue.
We never had a problem getting a reservation in any of the restaurants even though we changed many of our original reservations. There ...
Was excited to travel on this new cruise ship. As usual, great service. But there are some issues. Indochine is a worthless restaurant and not worth the time. Atlantine is wonderful and the best of all options, although one night we were turned away because no tables available for a group of 6--even if we were willing to split up. None of the restaurants that charge more are worth it. La Dame ...
We have travelled on Regent several times and wanted to compare Silversea. The ship was beautiful and our suite was excellent as was our butler Pedro. The excursions were generally mediocre and greatly overpriced. The food was very good but service was mixed. It was marginal in the La Terrza and poor in LaDame but good elsewhere. Paying extra for LaDame -- good but not exceptional food --with ...
The Muse is a beautiful new ship and it will not disappoint your expectations. But, near the last minute, SilverSea pulled one of the prized destinations in favor of another day at sea. Many of our fellow passengers referred to that as a "SilverSea bait and switch." We agreed with that and there was never an explanation as to why they pulled that. The food was generally better than we have ...
My wife and I wanted to see Chile and Argentina. We had actually previously scheduled a trip on another cruise line a few years ago but a serious illness of a family member caused us to cancel. Subsequently, several friends recommended SilverSea. They are absolutely correct. The Silver Muse is as good as it gets. Our cabin [suite] was beautiful, very good size, had a walk in closet, a great ...
