ship - good condition but poorly laid out.
food - excellent at times and lacking at others.
service - staff all have smiles and want to please but seem to lack direction and management.
daily schedule - sadly lacking; not enough activities during the day. all port lectures mysteriously scheduled for 6:30 at night interfering with cocktails and dinner. Obvious limited budget for speakers. ...
We joined three other couples to celebrate the 70th birthday of one of our companions on board. We have sailed on 23 cruises with several cruise lines in the past, but not on Silversea. We found the cabins to be quite comfortable, and the service to be above average, but the, food and wine offerings were spotty at best. In addition, the ship's layout is quirky, with little logic to the location of ...
I really mean 3.5 as a rating.
We had also been on this ship when we did the Grand Voyage around South America earlier in the year...which met expectations.
Not so much here. Our bathroom smelled for an odour coming from the bathroom. They tried to find the source but could not stop it. So eventually the staff (with one exception) agreed that there was no smell. So when we were ashore we ...
Overall we enjoyed this line but likely not enough to be repeat guests. Food was not 6 star quality, not enough variety. At the buffets, often it was overcooked. Wine was very good though.
Entertainment ok. Not great. Didn't like the fact that in all but two of the dining venues you needed a reservation. This allows for no spontaneous food decisions. Also would prefer that the restaurants ...
First time sailing with SS (and Silver Moon) but have sailed on about a dozen other cruises including Seabourne and Oceania many times. Silversea, at least in our experience with this particular cruise was by far the best. 10/10. We were highly impressed.
Beautiful new ship, elegant but also contemporary in design, blended the two perfectly. Suite was on par with Seabourne but with much better ...
I've always heard how amazing Silversea Cruises are, but I was completely underwhelmed for many reasons. First I believe the crew hates Iceland since they're mostly from Philippines and Nigeria. I think they are doing their best but nothing like I read about prior to my cruise. The food was mediocre at best, especially in the main dining room, Atlantide. Pool grill was the best but in spite of ...
ICELAND Silversea Moon – July 2023
SHIP CONDITION / LAYOUT Grade A++
The Silversea Moon as a “ship” is, without debate, one of the finest at sea. The décor, colors, design, layout, suites and public space are all award winning. I love this ship.
OVERALL STAFF SERVICE Grade A++
With rare exception, we encountered the most gracious, helpful and genuine cruise associates – ever.
FOOD ...
I chose SS after great experiences and to try the Silver Moon for the first time. The experience was great, considering the cost, itinerary, and wine selections. A superior offering to other luxury lines such as SB and RSS. The trip excursions were quite good, with several of them in more isolated/exclusive destinations.
In general, the food was excellent in most restaurants, particularly La ...
After several cruises with Crystal and Seabourn, my spouse and I decided to try Silversea. We were excited about their new Silver Moon ship, but we quickly realized that marketing promises did not match reality.
The embarkation process was tedious and confusing. After all the time spent to enter personal data and travel documents online (before the cruise), we found out that we had to start ...
We were looking for a luxurious experience. We got a standard cruise with a few fripperies thrown in. The ship was lovely, though a little corporate. We were too late booking the speciality restaurants so had to rely on Atlantide and Salt, both of which tried hard but were lacking in the taste and quality of the food provided. Breakfast were a bit of a melee, ie the buffet area is not big enough ...
