Eight restaurants and an unprecedented choice of bars complete the experience, offering delicious drinking and dining at any time of the day.
Excellent in every category! This ship, the staff, and yes even the food (more on that later). The ship - new (2024), spotless, spacious, and elegant. One would expect at least the common areas to begin showing wear & tear by now, but none at all. Stateroom was appointed with first class amenities, overly generous storage areas, customizable lighting, and was surprisingly well insulated from noises - no squeaks & creaks during rough seas, and even hearing slamming doors in the hallway (my pet peeve) was well muted. Exceptionally comfortable bed & linens with desired pillow type provided by the butler. I could not wait to climb in each night. We are experienced cruisers and knew not to choose a cabin on a deck immediately above/below an activities deck (as did a previous reviewer)- - - there will be noise regardless of the cruise line/ship. Live & learn. For a sold out itinerary, I often wondered where all the people were. Except for open lunch at Kasieki, we never waited for a seating in any of the restaurants. Deck loungers were spacious & comfortable, and easily available all over the upper decks - unless you needed to see/be seen around the pool. Even then, a scattering of solo loungers could still be found. Indoor spaces were hardly utilized, probably due to the favorable weather, but hard to imagine any crowding indoors even when inclimate. The gym is small, and was crowded on sea-days with people waiting for treadmills. Afternoons were much less busy. The outdoor track is small also, and passes through the smoking area? Saw several people linking longer walks together among 2 decks. The staff were top-notch. Never had to wait for a seating, for a drink at the bar, or for lounge service on the deck. Special dietary requests were handled easily by the servers at every meal (never needed the maitre'd or area supervisor to translate or explain vegan vs. vegetarian). Not on the menu? No problem, they'll get it for you. First time having a butler and thought it would be a bit awkward - it was not at all. Our butler was genuinely pleased to be able to provide a service for us, no matter how small the request. Ask for an inch and he'd give us a foot. Above & beyond, really. The shows started at 9:30pm which was too late for us, so cannot comment on the entertainment. But piano & violin music could be heard throughout the common areas, many times followed by applause. We attended the guest lectures which were outstanding - best of any cruise we've been on. The food - this area seems to be the most contentious from previous reviewers. Dining reviews are highly subjective and personal (tastes & preferences vary), so I will not go into detail other than saying we were not disappointed in the least. (Maybe because we were on the 2nd itinerary after repositioning?) Expecting Michelin-starred cuisine on a cruise is a bit much in my opinion anyways. If this is important, seek out itineraries which focus on cuisine. And if food is the only complaint on a cruise, then you live a very rich life indeed. The lobster benedict was served luke-warm? Really? Is this how you want to start you day??? C'mon. This was our best cruising experience to date - and we booked another while on board. Can't wait.
The Silver Ray is a beautiful, modern clean ship. Everyone on board was friendly and helpful. Our suite was spacious with a nice walkin closet and plenty of storage. We especially enjoyed our private balcony. Our butler and room steward were excellent. Our room was spotless throughout our voyage. However, we were disappointed in the food quality especially any seafood that we ordered. It was beautifully presented, but lacked freshness and flavor. We expected Salt Kitchen to excel at seafood preparation but that was not the case. The filet mignon was excellent at The Grill. The lamb chops were also very good at Atlantide. We did enjoy the breakfast and lunch buffets at Terrazzo. You were able to special order any item from the kitchen if you chose not to do the buffet. Two of the excursions were not enjoyable. Cartagena: The tour director dropped us off in town center and left us on our own for 40 minutes. Most of the stores and restaurants were closed because it was so early in the day. The second tour that we did not enjoy was Casablanca. The Mosque was beautiful but there were no earbuds so we couldn’t hear the guide unless we were right in front of him. The rest of that tour is a waste of time. In our opinion Tangier should be taken off the itinerary. You are constantly harassed by the locals, it is dirty and unsafe. We immediately took shuttle bus back to the ship. The pros outweighed the cons on this cruise.
All suites feature:
From fine French cuisine, delicate Asian options to relaxed Italian family-style meals, our chefs' creativity knows no limits.
With the importance of food in Italian culture you would expect dining to be a high priority at Silversea. And it most assuredly is. Moreover, gastronomic excellence is a given, thanks to our recipes that reflect heritage and revamp tradition. No matter where you dine, destination influence is readily apparent in the great diversity and freshness of your selections. And every ship also features an array of dining venues. The main dining room, The Restaurant, is an open-seating venue where you can dine whenever you please, and where impromptu dinners with new-found friends is a matter of course. After all, with our worldly crowd of international travellers, socialising is one of the things people love most about our luxury cruise ships. Per guest reservation fee for specialty restaurants.
