We booked this cruise 18 months ago to be a short relaxing getaway after the holidays to warmer climate. Unfortunately, Omicron hit, too late to back out so we hoped for the best. COVID test at embarkment (Barbados) actually wasn't too bad, 30 - 40 min. so don't let COVID procedures stop you from cruising. If you get seasick easily then understand this is a small ship and it does roll a bit - ...
The Silver Whisper is advertised as an upscale ship. I guess it depends on what you are looking for on your cruise. Our voyage in the Caribbean was a great disappointment in many respects. The ship itself it's very nice but not great. . The best thing about the Whisper is the crew. They are outstanding in every way.
Drinks are free and that's great. On the other hand, the food was consistently ...
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 ...
We chose this cruise as a means to pursue something different. Having boated on rivers for many years we thought cruising the Amazon would be a good extension of the activity. We looked forward to seeing the cities, wildlife and the notion of seeing piranha fish.
Embarkation was very smooth and they lived up to expectations. Our room was clean and well stocked with fruit and beverages. Out ...
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 ...
My husband and I have sailed many times with Silversea. We have now been on all but the newest ship, the Muse. We always wanted to book an Owners' Suite and this short cruise was a perfect opportunity. The amenities and little extras were very appreciated. Our every wish was fulfilled. Because the cruise was only 3 days, we did not participate in any of the shore excursions. There is plenty ...
The SILVER WHISPER is a very comfortable small cruise ship only carrying about 350 passengers. We never had to wait in line for anything. The stateroom was spacious and well designed. The bathroom, huge for a ship, included both an area for the shower and a separate tub. There was a huge walk in storage closet, almost a mini cabin in the cabin. Service in the cabin was excellent. Breakfast ...
We had been on Silver Sea long ago and were very pleased and impressed. Leaving from Fort Lauderdale while living in Florida was a huge factor, along with the Silver Sea reputation. Our dining experiences were wonderful, although the last night at dinner, the service was extremely slow. The dining staff in each venue was very pleasant and accommodating. The food was wonderful. It would have been ...
Even though we had a nice Silver Suite 728, there was loud banging in the middle of the night that woke me several times. I guess our suite was next to a noisy location.
Small bed, they said it was a queen but it’s the smallest queen bed I’ve ever seen. Food was mediocre at best. I found plastic shards in my burger, that they had the nerve to call a Waygu Beef Burger. My last morning I ...
Silversea holds themselves out as an ULTRA LUXURY cruise line but is far from that. The staff is non responsive and the ship is out dated.
Furthermore, the dining experience was awful, not unless you like waiters SWEAT pouring down from your plates on your meals. This was because the Restaurants Air Conditioning system was malfunctioning for the entire cruise.
Almost every passenger that I ...
