Reviewed By: Spencer, Axminster on 8th Mar 2011
Cruise Line: Silversea	Times cruised before: 0
Cruise Ship: Silver Shadow	Sailed: December, 2010
Destination: Australasia	Age: 56-65
Cabin: Outside	Occasion: Birthday

We looked forward to our first cruise. The staff were beyond wonderful.The food good. Cabin was tired,stained carpet rust round window.The organisation was very inefficient. We waited,herded like cattle for over three hours to disembark in Darwin, after rising early for our tour (which was cut short!) On second Silversea shore trip, I was injured, and not one member of staff/management asked how I was, despite seeing ship's Doctor and getting a large bill! (later rescinded on my strong complaint)There was little room to sunbathe if one did not want to sit in full sun. Undignified scrabbling for the few shady sunloungers! Barrier reef trip was horrendous.So crowded, taken to a pontoon, no room to change or snorkel.Finally our luggage was lost, and though we asked to be on the first departure, we were actually the very last! No more cruises!!

I'm looking to seek more anti Silver Sea people as I had a horrible experience. Please contact me at facebook.com/latinosparky I'm setting up a page

Please don't be put off by this. Try Seabourn, who we now cruise with. They appear to be more reasonably priced than Silversea but we cannot fault them!
