Silversea positions and prices itself at the top end of the market. We expected it to be good all of the time rather than most of the time.
Our cabin butler was outstanding which was certainly a big plus.
Restaurants usually but not always good and a couple of times particularly slow for no obvious reason. Sometimes thought the staff would have like to have been elsewhere!
One expensive ...
This was one of many wonderful cruises on Silversea but by far the longest at 73 days. This was part of this years World Cruise. I have high praise and a 10 for everything.
Getting on and off the ship was very smooth.
The ship needs new carpets and some improvements here and there but nothing major.
Dining was easy. Reservations were easy to get and we were always acomodated. The ...
I have always liked the Whisper but will never take a segment of a world cruise again. In this segment, the majority of the passengers had been on this cruise since January and had established little groups to dine, drink and socialize thus the new passengers had to find other new passengers in order to have a good time. This segment from Dubai to Athens had fewer new passengers due to the ...
We joined the ship in Singapore -one of our favourite cities in the world- and as Silverseas arranged the flights we were met and taked to the hotel and on Tuesday to the ship. We walked straight on and it was lovely to be 'home' again.
The ports of call were the normal for these sectors but there were a few new ones so we were happy to wander around without the need for a guide
The food ...
We came on the ship as basically first time Cruisers for the World Cruise 2017. Jan 6 to May 3, San Francisco to Monte Carlo. We had no complaints about the cabin or the ship, it is a little dated. Many of the repeat cruisers were very unhappy with the condition of the ship as most were led to believe the ship had gone under renovation before the cruise. It turned out only some internal ...
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 ...
The Silver Whisper is currently home of the World Cruise and we enjoyed the first three segments (hence segmentarians).
180 of the 380 guests on board are doing the whole cruise, Ft Lauderdale to Venice, finishing at the beginning of May.
The ship is in excellent condition and we noticed our suite and the public spaces were immaculate.
The restaurants all served excellent food and we ...
We had never been on a lengthy cruise before and were somewhat apprehensive about a four month journey. However, the moment we stepped aboard the Silver Whisper for our World Cruise our fears melted away and we were thrilled, excited and grateful to have the opportunity for such an incredible experience. We are a retired couple who have been on many cruises and cruise lines and Silversea far ...
