We booked this cruise 18 months ago to be a short relaxing getaway after the holidays to warmer climate. Unfortunately, Omicron hit, too late to back out so we hoped for the best. COVID test at embarkment (Barbados) actually wasn't too bad, 30 - 40 min. so don't let COVID procedures stop you from cruising. If you get seasick easily then understand this is a small ship and it does roll a bit - ...
The Silver Whisper is advertised as an upscale ship. I guess it depends on what you are looking for on your cruise. Our voyage in the Caribbean was a great disappointment in many respects. The ship itself it's very nice but not great. . The best thing about the Whisper is the crew. They are outstanding in every way.
Drinks are free and that's great. On the other hand, the food was consistently ...
We chose this cruise as a means to pursue something different. Having boated on rivers for many years we thought cruising the Amazon would be a good extension of the activity. We looked forward to seeing the cities, wildlife and the notion of seeing piranha fish.
Embarkation was very smooth and they lived up to expectations. Our room was clean and well stocked with fruit and beverages. Out ...
We love Silver Sea and usually are not disappointed. The timing for us on this cruise was after major hurricanes hit the islands, so there were fewer excursions and less activities available. St. Bart's was particularly disappointing since very few shops were open on Sunday and many were still damaged and not able to be open anyway.
The butler feature that Silver Sea offers is usually ...
We were there for purely for pleasure; getting pampered with superior service. The staff is superb and eager to please; this certainly makes up for a few minor things that were less than perfect.
There appear to be small areas that suggest a management drive to reduce the cost of operating. Examples include (a) a very narrow selection of beer options (without paying extra) (b) nightly show ...
We wanted to try a more upscale cruise line. Everything was more than we had expected.
The food was excellent and all the staff everywhere on the ship were friendly, learned ur names and were eager to help. Our Butler was at our service and our room was always very clean and in order. We met some nice people from around the world and made some new friends. I must also mention there were no ...
We love to cruise with Silversea, so far I only cruised on Silver Spirit, my partner has been on Whisper before.
As soon as we embark is like being back home. Loved the ship, maybe just a bit 2 small for me & missed some of the extras available on the Spirit.
Amazing suite good size, always clean by super friendly staff.
The pool area very relaxing.
The restaurant staff were amazing, ...
We recently returned from our first cruise on a Silverseas ship. We booked a Veranda room and were very satisfied. The veranda itself isn't large, but it was sufficient. Our room was nice, especially for a cruise ship. The bathroom was also a good size. Our butler was great. Matter of fact, the whole staff was great - not one person disappointed us. We were very impressed with the food and ...
The only thing luxurious about this cruise was the price.
We have cruised many lines but the best was the standard provided on Seabourn and that is our benchmark because Seabourn is truly a luxury line.
The food and service on Silversea were a huge disappointment!
Food totally lacked creativity. Comparable to what you would get at a low end family style restaurant; certain packaged ...
Two years ago we traveled on Silversea from Venice to Rome. Everything about that cruise was special. Consequently, this cruise from New York to Barbados was a big disappointment.
First, while the staff was trying hard to do a good job, only one or two knew how to be exceptional. If I hadn't had the great service 2 years before, I probably wouldn't have made such a negative comparison ...
