Creator's Key Takeaways
Longtime guests suggested the line has rapidly slipped in the past 18 months since I'd last cruise on it.
I do think one issue about Silver Seas these days is a lack of consistency of the Silver Sea experience because they have four different classes of ships.
Salt is a big plus and gives us a chance more than any of the other ultra luxury lines to get immersed in regional cuisine and drink.
