This line offers you 1 free tour a day but most of the tours are 8:30-9:30 .When asked about that they said they can only get guides at that time .Baloney other cruise ships offered late morning or early afternoon tours.Why should I have to wake up early and gulp down breakfast on a vacation.I can see some tours like Ephesus that can get very hot and crowded.Also in Santorini why not contract for ...
Sadly, having experienced the Silverseas all inclusive luxury we won’t be returning. Having cruised seven times previously with five different mid-range cruise lines; Cunard, MSC, Celebrity and others we thought we might blow our annual holiday budget, saved after many Covid enforced cancelations, on one top end cruise and be seriously spoilt. Other than the feeling of space on board the Silver ...
1. Embarkment in Venice was horrible at best. We had a water taxi from our hotel that was fine. We were felt off at a dock and our luggage was tagged and we were told to walk to the terminal. We were also told to follow all the signs. There were No signs, we walked at what looked like an abandoned warehouse area, finally saw a girl in the distance and asked were the Silver Dawn building was and ...
Ultra-luxury ship: Well, I don't know about that. It seemed a little bland. The decor is beige on beige for the most part.
Cabin: Bed is extremely comfortable. Pillows are comfortable. Bathroom is well-appointed. Balcony over the sea is smallish (two people only) but nice. Small love-seat. TV's are in the mirrors, which is fine unless there is a reflection because you would like to ...
We sailed on this ship because of the itinerary and because we had sailed on the Silver Whisper 9 years ago -- that time the ship was exceptional and we have wonderful memories of that cruise. The ship is now showing its age and needs a complete makeover - - not just a change of the carpet - - a complete makeover. It needs to be modernized both as to technology and aesthetics - - furniture and ...
First off, what is it about air conditioning? I had the thermostat turned all the way down in my room and the temperature was still just marginally cool. Definitely not comfortable enough for me to get a good nights sleep. And on the last night I found out that the entire ship was on one central system and not really adjustable by room. Even the observation room was not adjustable. So stick a ...
We chose this cruise based on (a) destinations - we'd not been to some of the ports of call), (b) timing, and, (c) we'd been on several Silversea ships (including the Whisper in the past.
Key points;
1. Virtually all the staff were attentive and helpful -especially our butler.
2. The food in La Terrassa was good - especially the evening meals - we ate there twice.
3. On the other hand ...
We truly expected a lot more from a Luxury cruise line. The cruise itself was nicely decorated..all beige, but the glamour that you see on other cruise lines for half the price was not there to be found. Forget about a grand lobby!.
The entertainment was poor. The show - three ladies and three gentleman- had great voices, but my goodness, they were soo fake, we only went to the first show ...
Our Mediterranean cruise from Venice to Nice on Silver Whisper. All I can say is everything was average,food ok ,entertainment ok.Service not good, with no attention to detail.
Having travelled before with Silverseas a few years ago,we loved it so much ,we encouraged a group of friends to join us on this cruise.There were 10 of us in fact.
My husband and I were so disappointed and ...
We selected Silversea based on a previous cruise, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed in this cruise. Silversea had sold nearly one-third of the ship to an insurance company as an incentive award for successful insurance agents and brokers. As we were leaving Venice, we went to the Panorama lounge on the stern for a view of the city only to find that the ...
