We are in our mid 50s, have done 6 cruises with 5 carriers and this was the worse. Electric wheelchairs, walking frames, everywhere. The average age group is 70+. They love not leaving their rooms or the ship for 2 weeks so it suits them.
The ship is too small (550 People) so is limited to going into small destination ports only as it can’t cope with over 1.5mtr (4ft waves) in places like ...
We had previously enjoyed cruises with Silversea and were cruising from Sydney to Auckland.
This was our 9th cruise with Silversea and our 2nd Christmas Holiday Cruise. From start to finish it was extremely poor, with the Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve food and celebrations being totally disgusting. On both occasions we and our fellow guests were served out of sync and cold food! Unlike on ...
We were looking for a trip to Australia and New Zealand over the 2022 Christmas Holidays.
Once on board the silver suite was very nice, the ship was in great condition and the multiples restaurants and lounges were very good. Butler and restaurant staff were excellent. Wi-Fi was available but slow.
However, we will never sail Silversea again. Embarkation from Sydney was chaos - 2 plus ...
Chose this cruise as dates and itinerary fitted our schedule. Usually cruise with Regent Seven Seas. So this was the standard for comparison.
Transfer from airport and embarkation at Sydney was an omnishambles. No procedures, no information, no-one in charge, lack of communication, no instructions. Had to hunt for contact at airport. Took us to the 4 Seasons Hotel where no one was ...
Over a year and half in planning with another couple, we booked the Australian Wilds & Beyond (OCY200303-17), going from Sydney to Singapore on Crystal Serenity through our travel agent. We opted to book our own airfare to Sydney and home from Singapore using frequent flyer miles. And since we were going all this way, we decided to go to Sydney 5 days early to explore a city we had always wanted ...
We wanted to try Silver Seas as a comparison to other lines weve used like Regent, and were very pleasantly surprised. This cruise was not destination driven for us as weve been to these ports several times over the years, so the fact that itinerary was changed due to the virus issue didnt fase us. It was always about the ship board experience for us, and we both feel it was the best ship ...
We have cruised on Silversea a number of times, this was a highlight of all our sailings. What was not to like?????? (see previous review) The ship was luxurious , deluxe verandah immaculate, dining in the main restaurant excellent as ever, with very attentive waiters who knew what your wine selection would be and got it, also organised items from other menus on the ship. Like the drop egg noodle ...
This is our fifth time on Silversea...the first on their newest ship “Silver Muse”.
We have been on over 45 cruises...so we feel we know what we like and what we don’t.
We were fortunate enough to have purchased this cruise on our last Silversea cruise in October, 2018.
We knew as soon as we stepped onto this beauty we were in for a special trip.
Our suite number was 1008, the Silver ...
This is our review of our recent trip from Sydney to Auckland on the Silver Muse. We were fortunate to have booked an Owner’s Suite in the ship and we were expecting to be blown away by the whole experience but, unfortunately, it did not really end up that way.
Embarkation and disembarkation
Very good and smooth.
Food and Restaurants
In our opinion, the food was excellent all round and ...
I could go on and on about the service, quality of food, the cabin and amenities, the quality of the bed, the selection of spirits and wine, the ship itself….but I won't as all of these deserve the five stars I gave this particular cruise.
We have already been on Viking, Seabourn and Regent. All in similar suites and comparable ships. I have to say they all were fantastic but in no way does it ...
