Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Silver Ray
Being our first cruise, we felt we really had made an excellent choice. From the moment we boarded, the staff couldn't do enough for us, particularly the waiters and bar staff and not forgetting our butler who was always on hand for anything we needed. The food was excellent with lots of choice in each of the restaurants, and very well presented. There was a good choice of excursions, but being with friends we enjoyed going ashore and doing our own thing, so didn't actually take up any of the included excursions. Overall, we would highly recommend Silver Ray and look forward to sailing with them in the future.
The whole Silver Ray experience was first class, could not find fault. The only frustration was the taxi transfer driver at Barcelona was not there when we disembarked had to wait 30 minutes for him to arrive, I had to walk around the parked taxi / mini buses to find him.
