The best cruise review I’ve ever watches

[@tscruiseandtravelmuse]

Thank you Gary! I appreciate the very kind words, and the feedback. I try to be as honest as I can without going too far in either direction or being overly nitpicky. Best regards, Tom

Well done video. Sorry to hear about the Butler. It shouldn’t be that way. Looking forward to your next set of videos to see how things turn out. The food looks absolutely delicious. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words. Overall the trip was fantastic and the downers were minor. I figured that the butler thing was the exception to the norm. I’m currently editing our most recent trip, Lisbon, Spain, Gibraltar, France, aboard the new Silver Nova. I should start posting in about a week, give or take :-) Stay tuned!

This is an excellent vidoe. Thank you. On the 19th July 2024 i sail on Silver Seas Moon, there has been quite a lot criticism regarding Silver Seas,this review somewhat alleviates my worry. I am a solo traveller.

Hello Raymond! Thank you for watching and the kind words! I have been very happy and satisfied with my overall experience on Silversea. My least favorite was aboard the Silver Nova. I am attributing that experience to (possibly) the fact the Nova was a brand new cruise ship and the were (possibly) some teething pains involved because of new ship, new crew, new setup, etc. We will give the Nova a chance to settle in before traveling on her again. I think if you go into your voyage aboard the Silver Moon with an open heat and mind you will have a wonderful trip! I would love to have your thoughts on the Silversea experience as a solo traveler. Please let us know how it goes and what you think! Safe and Happy Travels! Tom

The butler service wasn’t the best because you were in the basic suite..sorry about the experience, with what a cruise like this costs..there’s no excuse. The door to door experience seems like a very expensive offering. Loved the video and the whole series was very well done.

[@tscruiseandtravelmuse]

Thank you for the kind words and comment! You are right, the fact we were in the lowest cost suite shouldn’t have anything to do with the level of service provided. But having said that it very well could have:-) She was very disconnected and distant, never interacting with us. Because we were returning customers, and had in fact referred two other couples we were supposed to receive the laundry service complementary and the daily canapé service, and it was so stated on our TV/account. But when asked about the laundry service, our butler flatly told us that it was only a pay as you go option for us. I confirmed what I saw on the TV and knew to be true and started leaving the laundry out for service and was never charged for it. As far as the canapés she never mentioned it and never delivered it. We said nothing because it was not important to us as we rather enjoyed the various venues and the service provided throughout the ship. There were other issues and lapses by our butler but no matter. We recently used the door-to-door option again on our most recent trip and loved the seamless, no problem experience provided. Thank you so much for watching! Stay tuned for our upcoming vlog on the new Silver Nova! Happy travels! T P.S. - Our butler on the Silver Nova was much more helpful, engaging, and interactive… thanks Vikas!

Hi. Wanted to clarify can you use a steam room in the men’s bathroom for no charge? You mentioned that you would have to pay for spa services to use the small pool and steam room. Is this separate spa steam room that you are referring to?

[@tscruiseandtravelmuse]

Yes you can use the stEame room on the men’s, or woman’s side.

[@tscruiseandtravelmuse]

The small pool can be used if not busy. There is a larger co-Ed steam room/thermal suite that must be scheduled through the spa and I believe it is available only to those using spa services.

[@kenvanriper4269]

Thanks for the clarification. I could not find correct info online. As long as a steam room is included I am happy
