Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Silver Shadow
First time cruising with Silversea - it was a great experience which I hope to repeat Staff all excelled in their duties and the Cruise Director was very entertaining.
Lovely cruise experience. Exceptional standards of service (just one example - we reported some small staining on our balcony railings and they were repainted within 24 hours) - from a virtually 1:1 crew to guest ratio make this line and ship standout from the rest for us. The inclusion of excursions, gratuities, premium drinks (including champagne), WiFi, and fine dining (with the exclusion of just one speciality restaurant) was also a plus as our final on board bill was zero. When you add on the flights, two nights in Miami and two in Barbados at good quality hotels with breakfast included we felt this cruise was good value for money.
Cruise met all exceptions. Excellent food. All staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Some really good trips included. Looking forward to our next Silversea cruise. Our hotel in Montreal, pre cruise, was very good and we enjoyed our time in the city. HOWEVER: the IGLU supported part of the package did not meet expectations. We had significant issue during the week before we left regarding the airport to hotel and hotel to port transfers which were totally inadequate: Taxi for four people and luggage could only take two cases! We also had issues with our port to airport transfer at the end of the cruise. Although the vehicle was sufficiently large, the taxi company refused to pick us up at the taxi rank at the port and we had to go across a busy freeway with our luggage to get our transfer. The company did try to contact us by phone but we did not have any wifi at this point and had to use one of the port authorities staff member's phone to make contact. The taxi company did not contact us the night before as had previously happened and their attempts to contact us were after we had left the ship.
Cruise itself exceeded expectations. Service / staff / food / entertainment all brilliant. Unfortunately we had pre and post cruise issues with Iglu / Silversea which are still partly unresolved. Disappointing when cruise itself so brilliant!
