Review summary

Our itinerary was broken by the tail end of Hurricane Jose. Not only did we miss several ports, but were hammered by 12-16 foot seas for 36 hours from NYC to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Not Silver Seas fault but unexpected and miserable nonetheless

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Not a hitch, orderly and uncrowded. Bags arrived in a timely manner.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The dining choices were varied, the service was exceptional and the connoisseurs wine list was excellent any very reasonably priced.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Bad weather and small ship, but they tried valiantly.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Best we have ever had...period.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our butler Dinesh, was terrific we thought he was the best. However, everyone else we talked to said the same about theirs. The Cruise Director Vicky was outstanding; visible, communicative and helpful. Another highlight.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

A Five star except the ship is outdated electronically in every way.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

lots of room, nice balcony weather permitting. We didn't use the tub and would have preferred that that space was dedicated to a larger shower.
