Cruise Diva's CRUISE
DIARY
~ Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires ~
Lasting Impressions
From the arrival of my
travel documents to the final room service breakfast, thoughts about
my Silver Shadow cruise are etched into my memory. A cruise is
certainly an easy way to travel, particularly when one adds on an
ambitious pre- or post-cruise side trip, but Silversea Cruises makes it both
simple and elegant. They do it in such an effortless manner that
little things could go unnoticed. No request seemed to be too
difficult for them to comply. In fact, the word "no" doesn't
appear to be in their vocabulary. Small touches add to the exquisite
sense of personalization. I truly felt like a pampered guest in a
private manor home.
Like
her fleet mates, the sleek Italian décor of Silver Shadow is subtle
and understated. I found the slightly bolder artwork more to my liking
than that on the Silver Whisper. Refined and professional service is
delivered by the international staff and Silver Suites exceed the
accommodations of top-rated hotels. Those elements, combined with
superb dining, lively entertainment, spacious interiors, and the
complete absence of lines, add up to a six-star, ultra-luxury
experience.
Don't allow sticker shock to
overwhelm you when considering a Silversea cruise. Fares are
expensive—however, considering all that is included on board, plus
airfare, transfers, and pre-cruise accommodations, they are a great
value. It's no wonder so many passengers on Silver
Shadow's "Beaches & Boulevards" sailing were repeat
guests. On some sailings, as many as 70% of passengers are repeaters.
And "Simplicity Pricing" fares have brought a
Silversea cruise into the realm of affordability for a wide range of
guests—it was refreshing to meet so many young singles on board.
