Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a trip that was financed by us and no one else.

Everything else was consistently excellent except for possibly the drink service with it still being a bit hard to find a decent wine amongst the included wines.

The guest entertainers were, well, entertaining. The local acts were good to fair this time and the resident on board musicians were excellent.

Silversea has quietly done away with the hot rocks concept across the fleet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you don't want bread at the start of your meal in The Restaurant, tell them quickly: 'No bread, please.'
Gentlemen are required to wear jackets in La Dame.
If you are looking for the hot rocks experience at The Grill, you will be disappointed as it has been eliminated.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Menu varietyWhile menus were more compact and of less variety than larger ships, there was still plenty to choose from and execution was very good.
Included wine qualityIt can be hard to find a decent wine amongst the included wines; consider the connoisseurs' wine list for an extra charge.
