The butler service on Silversea was underwhelming. I’m sure others appreciate it, but as nice as it was we didn’t feel we’d miss not having one. The cabins are all lovely, and although PG would be comparable, we decided to play it safe a book a sheltered balcony on deck 5. I have been seasick on both of my previous voyages and I’m hoping with the lower cabin and the larger Ocean Liner (as opposed to a cruise ship) I’ll be ok. On that note, I’m hoping the spa on board the QM2 has acupuncture. It was the only thing that cured my seasickness on our cruise to Bermuda.

Tentative cruiser here. My husband and I started to sail on Silversea just before everything came to a halt in 2020. We did 2 cruises and had a third booked on Regent’s new ship Grandeur for this past February but cancelled because I retired and we moved to another state. As a wise friend once said, you need to let the money tree grow back after pruning it too much. Well we decided it’s time. The 14 day Queen Mary 2 TA with a stop in Iceland seems very interesting, and Iceland has been a bucket list destination for me. We booked it. Now we’re thinking about going over from New York on the QM2 instead of flying. Our travel agent has a hold on the same cabin. Is it worth it? Is the Queen Mary 2 exciting enough to stay onboard (except for shore excursions) for 3 weeks?
