Nice Itinerary and Lovely staff, but Silversea needs to up its Food and Service Game. by brendamccr

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper

Disappoint din the Whisper - had been 23 years since we last sailed her and felt we were on a training course. A lot of new staff. Too few food options for a 10 day cruise. Will sail on their larger ships next time.

Enjoyable overall, but not up to our prior experience with Silversea by InLA

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

This was a very good itinerary, but unfortunately it was overcast with periods of light rain almost every day. Be sure to add extra days in Iceland—it’s quite amazing and more varied in scenery than the Norway Fjords. We thought our overall experience on Silversea was enjoyable, but below their standards and reputation, and we heard the same from many other guests.

Round trip Reykjavik by janek706

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Great itinerary. Scenery is stunning. Included shore excursions were great although in big groups. Limo service to airport and back excellent. Ship size and design nice. Didn’t feel crowded. Unfortunately they are understaffed. Will return to sailing on Oceania. Food better and way cheaper.

Holiday caribbean cruise by sandra64708598

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Caribbean

On the whole the ship is good, maybe not quite as good as it used to be and the caribbean itinerary was as expected, pretty dull

Thoroughly enjoyed our cruise! by alison411

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Caribbean

Good cruise - most of the islands had a lot of hurricane damage so not a lot to see.

service great the rest is so so by lmarsh1220

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

While service was awesome, the rest of the cruise experience was just ok. entertainment geared to over 70 pbs watchers, one caribbean island is much like all the others, transfer & arrival at the airport was bring your scope patches. small ships dont have the stability as the big ships abysmal. small ship experience with other passengers was fabulous.

Expect the unexpected by richard88964870

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Canada, New England, New York

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

Repositioning cruise by sharibelle

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Caribbean

Weather was bad, and the seas were not smooth going to Bermuda and leaving Bermuda.  Tours were cancelled due to lack of participation.  For a "chef theme" cruise and 3 special meals: under whelming.  Cruise port shops were closed in some ports due to national holidays. Personnel were great, cabin good and the people on board were fun.

Almost faultless by fielding231

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

Excellent itinerary, outstanding service, very good food.  Our only criticism is that

the ship needs updating, the décor is a little tired and bland, though it is

very comfortable.

treated like royalty by laurenfr

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

I have been on 5 other cruise lines including other "luxury" lines like Crystal and Regent.  Never have I had food this good or been treated so well.  The crew did everything they could to be sure that your every desire was met.

The itinerary was terrific.  we got to explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. 

If you want to live in the lap of luxury for a week, try this cruise.

Great 25th Anniversary Celebration by ValMartha

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Caribbean

Everything exceeded our expectations food (great espresso and capuccino), cocktails, champagne, service, crew, size of ship, great bed and pillows, walk-in closet, balcony and ambiance.  Loved the idea of delivering the paper in Spanish and English.

During our 25th Anniversary Celebration our butler Anu got us in for dinner to Le Champagne and arranged for a cake with a candle and written in chocolate Happy Anniversary but when we got back to our cabin he put candle lights and rose petals all over the room and the bed covers plus every single morning he make sure our room service breakfast was delivered correctly and right on time.

I believe Silversea could improve on the room internet because it was way too slow.  We had a blast.

 

Val & Martha C.

Outstanding Experience by patriciascott

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

From start to finish this cruise was perfection; pleasant and painless check-in, lovely room with plenty of storage space - dozens of hangers! - every staff member friendly and eager to be helpful - wonderful meals with very flexible hours - easy to see the sights in the fjords because there were so many places to stand and enjoy the beautiful scenery - efficient handling of leaving ship at port stops - interesting shore excursions - incredible galley which was open for a tour (larger and more extensive than any I have seen before on much bigger ships).

Silver Sea's is nothing but perfection! by DavidP7

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Caribbean

The Silver Whisper is so easy to naviagte around. The fact it is a small luxury ship you are not far from anything. From the wet,cool face towels provided to you at the pool, to the service anywhere on the ship, to the stocked bar our stunning suite and the fabulous food we were sp impressed. Our butler, Ryan, was amazing as well as our suite maid Army. Could have stayed another week and not thought twice. Never turned on the TV or read the daily newspaper provided. Can't wait to cruise again on Silver Sea!

7/12 days meeting up with old friends and new acquaintances by hassanteam19

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: World Cruise

We took 9 segments on the World Cruise 2019. There are few adjectives that could describe the superlative service available at guests fingertips. If something isn’t available guests tell the butler or guest relations and every effort is made to achieve the request.

Didn't quite meet our expectation by jeffrey823

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Whisper / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

It was my third time on a cruise and my wife's first and it didn't quite meet our expectation. My last luxury cruise was Crystal 10 years ago and the experience was better. The food and all-inclusive drinks selection is great with mediocre desserts but the dining experience was satisfying. Le Champagne was the best restaurant i had on any ship and it's comparable to dining on land. Overall service was only average and the butler was not too attentive and reachable as i expected though he tried to make our honeymoon trip special with two surprises throughout the journey. The excursions were bad and strictly catered to a much older crowd and they discouraged us (in our 30s) from doing stuff on our own so we were restricted to the excursion that they offered. I don't understand why NO FOOD except room service was offered between 4-7pm at any outlets except canapes. I am used to grabbing a bite and snacks after the excursions and were had to be glued to the room if we wanted anything to eat before dinner. The stateroom was nice, clean, and spacious with a slightly small balcony but it was good enough. On clam sea, the ship is extremely smooth and quiet and almost no vibration can be felt but on open sea the ship can sometimes shake quite vigorously and the fittings in the stateroom rattle. Shows were enjoyable but very limited to singing and dancing with not much variety. The gym feels crammed and it closes at 8pm which does not allow any night gym for younger crowd. I liked the idea of an all-inclusive cruise but might need to try a slightly bigger ship next time with Silversea or another cruise line altogether.
