First time with Silversea

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.

Excellent cruise from start to finish. Every member of staff treated me incredibly well and with compassion and humour as appropriate. I am partially disabled but I was treated with respect. The food was superb and the head chef catered to my various intolerances and special requests with grace. Nothing was too much trouble. The excursions were all zodiac based and the gangway staff were fantastic helping me on and off the ship every day despite my laughter, screaming and even crying on one occasion. The expedition staff were phenomenal. My cabin lady was by far the best I have ever had and we are going to be life long friends. My butler was also very professional and very kind to me. I would recommend Silverseas to anyone who can afford it!

A very dissatisfying and disappointing first experience of Silversea. The food is extremely below par and expectations, as we were cruising in Japan the buffet had to be served by staff but there was a distinct lack of generosity in their helpings- given that leftover food is only thrown away after each meal surely it is better to allow passengers that have paid for it to eat it !!!! The reception staff on board were unfriendly, surly and unhelpful. The Room Attendants gave very inconsistent service - some days you got shower gel and towels whilst on others you got neither. Amenities were not replenished after use. Management on board were ineffective at problem solving and following through on resolutions. All in all we would NEVER sail with Silversea again based on this experience alone.

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!
