Hi, Lordslurpalot, what year was that? I'm guessing you aren't talking about 2019, as the 22 Feb Singapore-to-Hong Kong Shadow voyage was not at all what you are describing. Now I'm curious ....

Year was 2017. 

We cruised Silver Shadow 24th Feb-06 March from Singapore to Schenzhen. 

We were told the ship had just come from dry dock (several weeks) & the ship was sparkling.

This was not a scheduled cruise as such, but a charter to CMG a large Chinese conglomerate.We could not fault anything, except for the unfriendly disembarkation procedure which took at least an hour. There were only 24 Westerners on this cruise, the rest of the Pax were Chinese.

Just been on the Shadow again 12 days Singapore to Yangon via KL,Phuket,Langkawi. Very tiring especially 4 days in Yangon.

Whilst talking to crew, whom we new well from previous voyages on Shadow, we were informed the ship will go into dry dock in Genoa in November. Possibly 2 weeks, major upgrades.Hence the gap in her cruise schedule if you look at cruise sites.

We believe this major upgrade has been brought about by the large investment in Silversea by Royal Caribbean.

Look forward to sailing on her again.
