The value is in Silversea's standard of excellence. From the Italian crew, to the English Female cabin attendants, to the top shelf liquor and wines, to their afternoon high tea, to the unbelievable Northern Italian food that is outta this world. Small ships rule: No herds of wild children running around, no big rah=rah half hearted Vegas Shows...just peaceful wonderful experiences. If you like the same old Broadway and Vegas shows..this is not the line for you.

But, don't you feel like the food quality on Princess has slipped (just like on Holland)? Not to mention their showers are made for tiny people only?

Living on the West Coast, we are baffled why so few cruise lines leave from the Port of Los Angeles.

Every ship we sailed on out of LA (scratch Carnival) was packed and their is so much pent up demand for us folks that hate to fly to Florida, or hate flying period, In the past we have sailed Silver Sea twice on the two available Port of LA cruises. You may the Mexico Riveria is not popular enough for port stops..but I am telling you..it does not matter. People just want to cruise for the relaxation leaving from LA and the ports are not that important..Mexico is just fine. We have taken over 15 cruises on Silver Sea/NCl/Royal and Holland..just because they left and returned to Port of Los Angeles. In light of the utter destruction of the Carribean, you might change your sailings.
