Silver Spirit

AUGUST

The Baltic itinerary is a great one for experienced travelers who have been to many other destinations and want to see some different locales. The small ports in countries such as Latvia and Estonia are little gems on the Baltic Sea and easily visited from the ship's pier. The crew on the Silver Spirit was remarkable - and truly made guests feel like they were special. In every department, at every turn, they ensured the voyage was a memorable one.

JULY

Staff was exceptionally good, Rodney our butler and his assistant Nelson, Dr, Christian, Dr. Chi, Joyce, Baris, Sami, Grace

MAY

Still a nice ship, but waaayyyy out-of-date compared to the Silver Nova. The ship definitely is showing its age and its design is behind a bit, but comfortable overall. If I were to sail with Silversea again, I would definitely choose an itinerary served by either the Silver Nova or Silver Ray

NOVEMBER

<div>We were lucky enough to have experienced Cruising with Silversea aboard their lovely Silver Spirit on an 11 night journey that took us from Venice to Athens, with many stops along the way in Italy, Croatia and the Greek Islands. The staff stood out as much as the destinations! It was lovely and everyone was so attentive! You wanted for nothing and they were quiet and respectful and so sincere in everything they did. From our amazing Cabin stewards, to the Dining room and Bar attendants, to the reception staff and Shore excursion crew members, all were lovely and helpful, we could not be happier. The guests were very like minded and we made some new friends and enjoyed our time together both on the Ship as well as when we were at the Ports. We particularly enjoyed the Special talks given by experts. There was an Astronaut that spoke of his experiences, a historian that was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. I liked the 3 or 4 craft times that were scheduled and it was fun to visit with the other guests while finding our hidden talents! All in All in was a really pleasant experience and I would highly recommend to others. The Ports of call and the Shore Excursions were very well planned and organized!&nbsp; We liked that there were only about 510 guests on board so it never felt crowded and just was easy to get around and no waiting in lines!&nbsp; &nbsp;It really was a wonderful Vacation!</div>

NOVEMBER

We loved the cruise, staff, amenities, restaurants and destination. Silver Spirit is lovely and the perfect size but in need of some refurbishing.

SEPTEMBER

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.

JUNE

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.

JUNE

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.

NOVEMBER

<div>One word that describes Silversea is LUXURY! From the ship having all suites to our butler drawing baths, surprising us with unexpected service, treats and catering to our every quim, it&#39;s a hard vacation to top!!</div>

OCTOBER

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

OCTOBER

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.

MAY

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

JUNE

Outstanding services!

MAY

Some ports, like Istanbul, require a tremendous amount of walking just to get off the ship.

MAY

Crew is wonderful. Food in specialty restaurants was amazing.

MAY

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.

APRIL

The perfect get away. Hand carried by many special people.

DECEMBER

<div>It is my personal opinion that the Butler is not needed. The stewardess or steward can often take care of special requests. Our stewardess forgot to leave clean towels at turn down. We had to call reception to get them delivered. It would be the Butlers job to see that those things are done for the suites following the stewardess job of cleaning and restocking items in the suite.</div>

SEPTEMBER

<div>The service onboard the ship was top notched. The food was amazing especially &quot;The Grille&quot; where you cook your dinner on a 500 degree stone. By day 2 most of the staff was addressing us by name and knew many of our preferences. The ship even though is one of the oldest in the fleet was well decoated and acutally looked brand new. Butler service is such a nice amenity.</div>

SEPTEMBER

Our first cruise with Silversea was amazing! The bar has been set high for future sailings. The attention to Covid protocols by the staff was appreciated.

NOVEMBER

The cruise we took was so much fun and so enlightening. In addition to the above plusses, we met many other passengers from many other countries. They were engaging and so enjoyable to talk to and be with. We didn’t want it to end.

OCTOBER

<div>Silversea is mostly all inclusive, with included gratuities, beverages, and wifi. Dining venues I particularly like were Silver Note,( intimate supper club feel ), Atlantide,( main dining room,lots of choices ), and The Grill (cook you own food on hot rocks).&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Suites were well appointed and spacious. Public spaces were lovely and understated, many outside spaces for dining and drinks as well.&nbsp; Also impressive, the small Arts Cafe, for anytime light dinning, dessert, or coffee, with inside and outside seating.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>One very interesting speaker, someone that previously worked at NASA and had 3 lectures on space. He was an extremely good speaker and captivated his audience.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>All these things made for a great experience with excellent feedback from everyone I spoke with.</div>

SEPTEMBER

<div>Wonderful ship and service was excellent. For a ship of this caliber the internet service and television options were not good. Selection of movies and channels should be improved.</div>

SEPTEMBER

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.

AUGUST

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!

MAY

<div>Silversea is getting back on track - higher standard champagne, gorgeous flower arrangements throughout the ship and cabins, caviar available complimentary - every night a full jar with condiments was served in our cabin. YUM.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

MAY

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.

MAY

<div>Sailed on the Silver Spirit 5 night Caribbean, Mar, 2019 The Silver Spirit: The Ship, accommodations and space ratio is excellent. Staterooms and suites are beautifully designed. The spaciousness carries throughout the ship, it is never crowded. You can find a comfortable lounge chair by the pool, a cozy table in the cafe or the library any time. Very spacious and comfortable for the number of guests onboard. Truly a small luxury ship, with about 600 guests. The service is excellent, never intruding, and it almost seems like the staff can read your mind and anticipate your requests. Overall the Silversea Cruise Experience exceeded my expectations in many ways. The dining onboard is exceptional, with many restaurants to choose from. Once onboard the all inclusive value, of having Butler service in ALL suites - premium spirits and wines, gratuities and much more - makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable luxury cruising experience.</div>

MARCH

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.

FEBRUARY

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.

JANUARY

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.

DECEMBER

<div>The new colors on the ship are warm taupe and grey. My suite was 853 in the new section and the loveliest stateroom I have ever stayed on a cruise ship. The bathroom was also the largest I have ever had on a cruise ship. My butler was amazing and my cabin steward was invisible but my room was always made up perfectly. There are many areas to relax and read if the pool area is not that important to you. Many specialty restaurants with only one charging a fee. The staff are polite and courteous and friendly. Truly a remarkable cruise.</div>

JULY

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.

OCTOBER

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.......

APRIL

The whole cruise with Mike and Barb + the rest of the group was terrific......!!! Will go again (:

MARCH

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. Service Stars***** Dennis the Sommelier, Yuri, Rao Mellisa Gerson Jeffrey the servers Richard at the gangway, Ryan, Hilda cabin steward and Dorothy the butler also noticed ship hull was rusty never saw this prior

DECEMBER

<div>We had a fantastic butler and suite attendant who took very good care of us during our voyage. The food was very good and we enjoyed the opportunity to dine in our suite. The Pianists in the lounges were excellent. Your clients will e<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">njoy the intimate feel and personalized attention that is provided to guests. For those with special dietary needs such as gluten-free and veterinarian, there were very few on the menu and no indication from the wait staff that they could be specially ordered. I highly recommend that if clients are interested in using the internet, they should purchase the unlimited package. Internet is slow and will eat up time quickly. Guests need to be aware of using extra caution when getting in and out of the tender as the floor can be very slippery from the spray of the water going to/from the ship.</span></div>

NOVEMBER

<div>Although I had sailed 10 times on Silversea before this cruise, I never been on the Spirit. I was amazed at how much bigger it was than the Shadow/Whisper and with how many more dining venues there were. Of course, a number of the dining rooms incur extra charges. I only experienced a few of the dining options. The Grill dinner with the hot stones was a fun and interesting experience; it was made possible on a cool evening with heat lamps. Since ours was a special&nbsp; gourmet cruise, some evenings there were gala dinners cooked by chefs from a German and an Italian restaurants) in La Terrraza. (No additional cost) The usual Italian dinners served in that restaurant are good choices but not the best I have had.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>This was the first time for me to have free Wi Fi, free laundry and a butler on any ship. I had always said that I wouldn&#39;t know what to do with a butler but I managed to find he was a good resource and quite helpful (although new). He somehow quietly organized our onboard experience.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Our cruise featured Alexandre Renior, great grandson of Pierre-August Renoir.&nbsp; He not only talked on board ship but took a small group on a delightful l trip to Renoir&#39;s Museum in Cagnes sur Mer.&nbsp; Another guest lecturer was Joe Synder, who was a wonderful speaker on the history of places we were visiting.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The shore excursions were quite varied and some quite innovative, like a truffle hunting tour from Marseilles.</div>

OCTOBER

Excellent Cruise. excellent food, excellent service, Excellent Butler!!!!

SEPTEMBER

our state room was absolutely incredible. the ports were wonderful. the tours were informative and fun

JANUARY

Total experience was a Plus and will consider Silversea Cruises again.
