Outstanding on board service, awful administrative support and planning

PROS: First and foremost the on ship service was outstanding and the crew very attentive, though understandably on the first day it is a bit chaotic and service is harder to find with everyone running around. The all inclusive nature (which you of coruse pay for in the fare) makes things very easy. Once the butler knows your preferences they are quite efficient (it just wont happen day ...

Lovely cruise to Alaska - is it ultra-luxury?

I chose this cruise because the 7 day itinerary fitted in with a trip to Vancouver, Alaska and Seattle of nearly 4 weeks. And it went to 4 ports, whereas the premium lines only went to 3 ports in 7 days. And it had a lot fewer people, which is a great bonus. We booked in 2018 for 2020 (postponed to 2022) so we paid probably half of what it would have cost this year. This was our first ocean ...

We picked this Alaska cruise for timing and length with our work schedules. This was my first time in Alaska and my partner's second. Alaska was amazing, the weather was perfect, the scenery amazing, people genuine. The cruise was overall was not five star. We had sailed with Silversea prior to Covid and I'm sure this had a lot to do with expectation versus reality. The pre Covid sailing with ...

This was our 9th Silversea cruise all previous being on Spirit and Shadow, so we were keen to sample the Muse. We stayed in Fairmont Waterfront pre cruise, and exceptional hotel, top tip, choose a harbour view Gold floor room. It was a mixed experience on the Muse. The new Musification decor and the ship did not disappoint, a stunning ship and much improved over the older ships. The ...

I was on a cruise that happened to be the cruise that a couple of insurance companies seemed to have bought large room blocks to give as prizes to their best sales people. I was very disappointed in the overall "party atmosphere" of the people who received the free cruises from the insurance companies. I chose SilverSea to not have to be confronted with loud, uproarious crowds; therefore, I spent ...

We love the scenery of Alaska and thoroughly enjoyed the ports. Saw so many whales on Juneau whale excursion, Discovering Alaska's whales. Fantastic experience. Lumberjack show in Ketchikan is very entertaining and a little corny, but worth the price. We were disappointed our first night that we couldn't eat at two of the three restaurants on board because we needed reservations even ...

We chose Silver Seas because my husband and I wanted to visit Alaska on a small high end ship. We are not big cruisers and love high end hotels, but we knew this was the best way to see Alaska. The service and staff were excellent. The mix of passengers was varied and we met many people in our age group (50-60) but there were families with mostly older children and seniors as well and it felt ...

Friends who have sailed on Silversea before mentioned they were thinking of going to Alaska and since we have always wanted to go, we decided to join them. The ship is nice, the crew is excellent, the food is pretty good. The entertainment is more or less and the port are all tourist traps but what can you expect, nothing much to see there. All in all it was a good cruise. I would recommend it ...

The best food, actually was in the regular dining room and not the specialty restaurants, though La Terrazz was good.I guess I expected more of a selection and more of a gourmet experience. And the bars were ho-hum. It sounds silly, but the EGGS the ship had were fabulous. They had these divine yolks of a deep orange color with an exquisite flavor. Once I discovered those eggs I couldn't wait ...

We chose Silversea because of the reputation and a smaller ship in addition to the cuisine. The cruise mostly met our expectation. We normally go on riverboats as a more intimate and less stress experience. The 90 day dinner reservations and 60 day shore excursion deadline were stressful and the "concierge" service was non existent!! I could not reach anyone by phone or email to ask questions. ...
