Our SilverSeas cruise #4. We expected a lot. As usual they delivered the exceptional. Beautiful dining room and exceptional service even at the buffet.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Our local YMCA has exercise facilities and so did the Silver Moon. We enjoyed the informative lectures about the ports and countries we visited. These were not info-mercials for shopping. The musicians were entertaining as well as being excellent very talented. There were several venues and performances to choose from daily. Bingo; Trivia and golf and ping-pong etc were available also.

Practically perfect, great bed plus sofa. Bath includes a full size tub. Butler kept the “no extra charge “ mini fridge stocked with sparkling water soft drinks plus French champagne.
