We had three weeks on the Spirit which was over Christmas and New Year. Could not fault the service from the staff. The food was very good with plenty of choice.
There were a few problems with water egress on our deck but this was quickly dealt with. Christmas Day was lovely although no Christmas Dinner to speak of that was the evening before, but the brunch they put on was excellent.
The entertainment in the evening was a bit lack luster and the DJ I can only describe as being poor. All he did was put tracks on and disappeared.
The entertainment in the theatre was a bit hit and miss and felt they could have brought more acts on.
Some ports of call where closed because it was holiday season or a Sunday, but that didn't bother us.
Overall an excellent cruise with only a few minor issues would certainly recommend.
Where do I start with this excuisite cruise ship? Silver Spirit is luxury line Silversea's largest cruise ship, but when I say large it's guest capacity is only 608, none of your 7,000+ guest small city cruise ship here! Every inch of this beautiful ship oozes style, comfort and luxury, and as you enjoy everything form the pool deck, Venetian lounge theatre and observation lounge to the culinary excellence of each of the 8 superlative restaurants, you always feel there is plenty of space for every guest. Almost every suite has a balcony and comes with a buttler. Being onboard with like-minded international travel companions makes for interesting conversations and new life long friendships. Yes, it is more expensive than other cruise options but once you've paid, everything onboard is included, even selected shore excursions, no more angst over gratuities either. You can pay for cheaper cruises but you will not find the quality or attention to detail that Silversea offers as it's basic standard. It doesn't have to break the bank either if you book well in advance. Silversea offer excellence of service and nothing is too much for the guests' needs. Every member of crew from the captain to maintainance crew members are always pleased to see you and always say good afternoon/morning/evening with a smile whenever they see a guest. Everything about the Silversea experience is second to none and it is a must for every cruiser to experience, but be warned once you've sampled the best nothing less will do!
Excellence is assured on all Silversea cruises and they didn’t disappoint. From the welcome glass of champagne to exquisite dining experiences, attentive staff, including your own butler, to new international travel companions and amazing destinations, the whole adventure is worth every penny.
Cruising to Greece and Turkey in May means missing the scorching heat of mid summer whilst still enjoying the pleasantly warm joys of this rich cultural area. Silversea Cruises pride themselves on the highest of standards in the Ultra-Luxury end of the cruise market and they don’t disappoint. Principally, the staff are polite and always willing to go the extra mile in order to make your holiday the perfect experience that you expect. Every member of staff from the Captain to the maintenance crew are courteous and smiling every time you encounter them and nothing is too much trouble. The ships public areas and cabins are fantastic and the multi cultural mix of passengers of like mind make the whole experience something to treasure. My wife and I are already searching for our next adventure with Silversea.
My wife and I took our third cruise with Silversea in May sailing in the eastern Mediterranean, including overnight in Istanbul, onboard the recently extended Silver Spirit. The quality of the Silversea experience and service was as high as ever. We made new international friends and enjoyed life aboard with like minded, well travelled and interesting travel companions. We can’t wait to book our next cruise with Silversea. For grown up luxury cruising we certainly recommend Silversea. Hope to meet you aboard too one day.
