This should have been an outstanding cruise, but, it was extremely inconsistent. The positives were:
The Wait Staff were outstanding. They were efficient, professional, and an out standing group of individuals. Gilbert, thr Maitre d'hotel is a master.
We had the best butler we have ever had aboard a cruise. The housekeepers were very good.
The entertainment was very, very good. The ...
I choose this cruise as I had travelled with Silversea before and it was reasonable/OK. This cruise was hell. No champagne on arrival, chaos, lifts broken and generally disorganised. Did not see butler for the first 26 hours, so no drinks I wished to drink in my minibar. Minibar stocked with beer, coke and sugary drinks - nothing I would ever touch - so first 26 hours no personalised cabin ...
The primary reason we chose this cruise was the time of year and the number of days sailing. Also, I wanted to go through the Panama Canal. We were on the Silver Spirit several times, but this year we really liked the itinerary of the Silver Whisper. Overall the cruise was amazing. We loved the size of the ship. My fiancé came aboard just getting over major surgery for a dislocated ankle and ...
Selected cruise because it was presumed to be an upscale line. It was upscale in many respects but failed in others. Good food, excellent service and mostly a well trained staff. Ship layout lacked some of the features found on Seabourn. Out butler was not trained and was virtually useless. Service in the dining room was unreasonably slow. Wait time between courses averaged 20 or more minutes in ...
We chose this cruise as birthday gift for husband, who wanted to transit Panama Canal, but this ship is now looking vey old inside and is needing a refit. Unfortunately as this is happening just before World Cruise, I feel we got the last of the awful bits, before refurb is done.
Main restaurant food well below expectations and more often than not cold, vegetables same every night, little ...
There were many positives about this cruise. First was the fellow passengers. We had so much fun with the Brits we met. (We are American and this particular cruise was probably 75% Brits.) There were no children on this Panama Canal cruise. That was a positive for us and this particular itinerary. Kids would have been bored. We weren't. Although we skirted the storm Otto, we still made every port ...
I chose the full world cruise because of its long duration and the ports of call, and this ship because it is just the right size for me, and I know its crew and amenities from my previous 600+ days on board. It was indeed like coming home, and the staff said, "Welcome back." At the ports where I had visited before, I either took different land excursions, or revisited some to see the changes ...
We love to cruise with Silversea, so far I only cruised on Silver Spirit, my partner has been on Whisper before.
As soon as we embark is like being back home. Loved the ship, maybe just a bit 2 small for me & missed some of the extras available on the Spirit.
Amazing suite good size, always clean by super friendly staff.
The pool area very relaxing.
The restaurant staff were amazing, ...
My wife and I recently completed our first-ever Silversea cruise. We were aboard the Silver Whisper for its December 20 -- January 5 transit of the Panama Canal.
First, and foremost, we had a great time on the cruise. The ship was beautiful, clean and in tip-top condition. The Silversea "all suite" accommodations were spacious and well-appointed. We have been on over a dozen cruises, and this was ...
