Silversea Silver Spirit October 2024

October

Pros: Food was great and a nice variety. You have to try the Hot Stone!! Staff was exceptional and pleasant to everyone!

Cons: We did feel that a little freshening up would be nice on the interior but everything was very clean and well appointed.

Recommended: No

Wonderful cruise

November

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Ship is a bit dated

Recommended: Yes

Silver Spirit Iceland

August

Pros: Great service

Cons: 2018 renovation

Recommended: Yes

I would like the spin bikes inside. They couldn’t be used when it was cold or rocky because they were outside. The ship could probably soon use a renovation. I think it was 2018 last time it was refurbished.

British Isles

June

Pros: Amazing Crew, Superb Food, Good Entertainment

Cons: Public spaces were a bit warm

Recommended: Yes

I was fortunate to sample all of the Dining venues and enjoyed them all. SeiShin was a wonderfully delicious surprise and probably my favorite. The variety in Indochine was also wonderful. Room was very comfortable and kept spotless by our cabin steward. I did not really make use of the Butler service, except for coffee delivery on a few mornings. Entertainment crew put on several terrific shows. In addition, local acts were brought onboard. The Irish stepdancers and the Scottish Highland dancers and bagpipers were fantastic. I really enjoyed the great piano/vocalist duo in the Silver Note.

Pampered at Sea

May

Pros: Included excursions, pampered treatment, restful environment, great ports and overnight stay in Sorrento

Cons: one show per night

Recommended: No

My Mediterranean cruise on the Silver Spirit was amazing. I felt pampered from the minute I stepped on to the ship. Boarding a small cruise ship of about 600 passengers was so different than boarding a giant cruise ship. It was calm, quick and easy. Having a butler was something I never thought I would experience, but it was delightful. Shore excursions are included and we got to choose between several in each port. All our guides were wonderful and having the excursions included saved us a lot of money! Small ship cruising is definitely the way to go. Silversea gets my vote.

Namibia & South Africa

January

Pros: Silversea Cruises includes free shore excursions. The ship's complementary wines, (and wine service),were exemplary, and well-appreciated by the guests.

Cons: Only 3 Guest Entertainers for a 15-day cruise. Only four "orchestra" musicians. Too many formal and informal nights. Very sub-standard/problematic TV remote controls. Only (Silversea) ship to have ONE unisex sauna, steam room, shower (with no lockers). No stateroom night lights. No afternoon tea.

Recommended: No

Athens to Dubai. Greece and Down the Suez

October

Pros: Butler, all-inclusivity, intimate ships, quiet, the room service setup with table, tablecloth and cutlery was a joyous find!

Cons: not all excursions are included, not all dining venues are included, shows could use a bit more pizazz

Recommended: No

Very good first time experience

October

Pros: The staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and boat, the food, the size of the boat

Cons: really nothing

Recommended: Yes

I would highly recommend Silversea to anyone - this was my first cruise and it was incredible.

Beautiful, but not entertaining

October

Pros: Spacious rooms and delicious restaurants

Cons: Entertainment was sub-par.

Recommended: Yes

Staterooms were quite spacious with walk-in closets and bathtubs. The dining rooms were outstanding. Because of that, the specialty restaurants couldn't justify the additional charge. The shows were poorly attended, and there wasn't anything to do after dinner.

Excellent service

April

Pros: Service

Cons: Restaurant confusion

Recommended: Yes

Suites were large and well appointed, LOTS of storage. Service impeccable. I think they have too many restaurants, and they have an image problem with Indochine which was the 2nd of the 'open' (non reservation) restaurants. The decor was contemporary, not what we want for a fine dining restaurant. Nobody wanted to go there, even with great service, they wanted Atlantide. I would also like entertainment at other times of the day than 9:30 at night. The performers were wonderful. More events on board during the day would be nice, not just games. But, we had no sea days so not as much going on

Mediterranean cruise

May

Pros: Superb service, delicious food, good entertainment, very good variety of excursions.

Cons: Perhaps a little more education on the geography of the area we sailed.

The service and courtesy provided by the crew far exceeded anything we have experienced before. The quality of the food and drinks were such that it may be quite some time before we can regain our previous weight.

Silver Spirit Stockholm to Copenhagen 11 August 2019

August

Pros: Everything was wonderful . And I didn't gain any weight!

Cons: ONLY small issue was the way the toilet paper holder was installed. I made the ship's hotel manager aware of this.

Recommended: No

The enlarged ship provided more dining options and they were all wonderful. The ship, crew, personalization, and shore excursions were great!. I did suggest to the bar manager to include Rye and Anejo tequilla.

Baltic Sea Cruise-August 2019

August

Pros: Service, Ship, Suite, Food, itinerary, all most excellent.

Cons: Only one bad thing of note is how poor the Wi-fi internet service works.

Recommended: Yes

Other than the Wi-fi being bulky and the ridiculous charge for second users, the rest of the trip was magnificent. The ship is beautiful as was our suite. Specific crew members including our butler and housekeeper were top notch. Dining at Silver Note and La Terrazza were specifically noted. A great experience overall!

Silver Spirit is true luxury

March

Pros: Totally refurbished, attentive staff, fine dining, all-inclusive.

Cons: Group dinner service is much slower than table for two.

The all-suite Silver Spirit is fresh with lots of light. Art-deco with cream/beige decor. Amazing crew, always nearby ready to take on any requests. Service was quick and always with a friendly smile. Suites are beautiful, well-appointed, teak verandas, mini-fridge is stocked with your personal favorite wine, liquor and soft drinks. Bathrooms have a bathtub and separate shower with fabulous huge towels. The beds are very comfortable... The pool deck is large with plenty of chairs for everyone. Good size pool, three hot tubs. Dining options are abundant. La Terazza was my favorite for dinner. Delicious pasta; also has the best lunch buffet I have ever seen with fresh salads, seafood, meat, vegetables, the works. The Grill provides personal grilling experience on the pool deck for dinner. 540 mature, well-traveled, active guests.

March

Pros: Great ports

Cons: tour vendor for

It was a great cruise. The staff are helpful and friendly. The ports were GREAT! The excursions that we took were interesting with the exception of the Baths. An interesting place in it's own right, but excursion was too long, and "guides" were virtually non-existent.

The Poster Child of Efficiency

February

Pros: Amazing food and service, great accomodations and crew that will do whatever it takes to please guests.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Everything seems to fall into place on the Silver Spirit. The ship was recently renovated and the results are wonderful. Public areas as comfortable and there never seems to be a crowd in any one place as there as multiple lounges and places where you can just hide out.

Silver Spirit

January

Pros: Wonderful ship, fabulous service, beautiful itinerary, great cuisine.

Cons: guest relations seemed as though they could use more training.

Recommended: No

We really enjoyed the restaurants Hot Rocks and Atlantide. The servers were fabulous. Our classic verandah suite was very clean and beautiful. Our butler was great! Their shore excursion department was also very knowledgeable and helpful. I do feel however that their guest relations could use a little help.

Recommended: No

Just As Expected

May

Pros: Clean - Updated Decor - Great Service

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

I can see why people like cruises. This ship is a great size.... not to big without feeling small. Get a room with a deck for sure! Even the lowest price deck is a very nice size.

My Voyage on The Silverseas October 5 through the 16th, 2017

October

Pros: Clean cabin,great service, excellent food, good itinerary and good entertainment

Cons: not enough variety with entertainment, not all bar lounges opened during the day

Recommended: Yes

I thought the Silversea Cruise was very good. The ship was medium size for a cruise ship but the voyage was smooth and we were on time in every port. The crew were very helpful as we disembarked from the ship at every port. My cabin 1006 was excellent. My wife and I really enjoyed the cabin, Very comfortable and plenty of room. Storage of bags and clothing was no problem. I would recommend a voyage with Silverseas and I would go on another.......

Don't know what you want!

Carribean cruise

March

Pros: Food

Cons: Senior Staff

Recommended: Yes

Senior staff absent except for Louis Alberts, Points for prizes and art for sale is something that belongs on Carnival, not Silversea, Sewer smell in Suite 646, Shop merchandise was poor and no personal shopper, bring back Philip, Connoisseurs bottle package was 1 per day, used to be 3 per voyage, this is ridiculous I would have spent more on 3 bottles than others did on 10 bottles More info needed prior to sailing I booked le Champagne and thus could not attend Venetian society party, Spa use an up charge use of sauna etc should be included had to wait for tenders used only two passenger on 5 star line should not have to wait, Plastic glasses, CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP cut out one port due to propeller damage but next voyage went on as scheduled, what propeller damage this was a lie, no compensation to passengers no transport to town on certain ports long walk unless you were on a shore excursion poor show Buffet should be served by staff not self serve this is a health hazard.
