Silver Spirit Iceland

August

Pros: Great service

Cons: 2018 renovation

Recommended: Yes

I would like the spin bikes inside. They couldn’t be used when it was cold or rocky because they were outside. The ship could probably soon use a renovation. I think it was 2018 last time it was refurbished.

British Isles

June

Pros: Amazing Crew, Superb Food, Good Entertainment

Cons: Public spaces were a bit warm

Recommended: Yes

I was fortunate to sample all of the Dining venues and enjoyed them all. SeiShin was a wonderfully delicious surprise and probably my favorite. The variety in Indochine was also wonderful. Room was very comfortable and kept spotless by our cabin steward. I did not really make use of the Butler service, except for coffee delivery on a few mornings. Entertainment crew put on several terrific shows. In addition, local acts were brought onboard. The Irish stepdancers and the Scottish Highland dancers and bagpipers were fantastic. I really enjoyed the great piano/vocalist duo in the Silver Note.

Pampered at Sea

May

Pros: Included excursions, pampered treatment, restful environment, great ports and overnight stay in Sorrento

Cons: one show per night

Recommended: No

My Mediterranean cruise on the Silver Spirit was amazing. I felt pampered from the minute I stepped on to the ship. Boarding a small cruise ship of about 600 passengers was so different than boarding a giant cruise ship. It was calm, quick and easy. Having a butler was something I never thought I would experience, but it was delightful. Shore excursions are included and we got to choose between several in each port. All our guides were wonderful and having the excursions included saved us a lot of money! Small ship cruising is definitely the way to go. Silversea gets my vote.

Namibia & South Africa

January

Pros: Silversea Cruises includes free shore excursions. The ship's complementary wines, (and wine service),were exemplary, and well-appreciated by the guests.

Cons: Only 3 Guest Entertainers for a 15-day cruise. Only four "orchestra" musicians. Too many formal and informal nights. Very sub-standard/problematic TV remote controls. Only (Silversea) ship to have ONE unisex sauna, steam room, shower (with no lockers). No stateroom night lights. No afternoon tea.

Recommended: No

Athens to Dubai. Greece and Down the Suez

October

Pros: Butler, all-inclusivity, intimate ships, quiet, the room service setup with table, tablecloth and cutlery was a joyous find!

Cons: not all excursions are included, not all dining venues are included, shows could use a bit more pizazz

Recommended: No

One word that describes Silversea is LUXURY! From the ship having all suites to our butler drawing baths, surprising us with unexpected service, treats and catering to our every quim, it's a hard vacation to top!!

Beautiful, but not entertaining

October

Pros: Spacious rooms and delicious restaurants

Cons: Entertainment was sub-par.

Recommended: Yes

Staterooms were quite spacious with walk-in closets and bathtubs. The dining rooms were outstanding. Because of that, the specialty restaurants couldn't justify the additional charge. The shows were poorly attended, and there wasn't anything to do after dinner.
