We too returned on Friday and had a really good time. The weather was superb and we spent nearly all our time outdoors which meant our use of all the dining options suffered and we ate four dinners in La Terraza.
This was our second trip on SS this year the first being early April and on both occasions service and dining excellent, It was more retlaxed this time as mask wearing and social distancing was eased, Masks. only at boat drill which was at yout muster station, theatre and on tenders. I have to say that was all good though I have to say I felt, and was pleased about, that people were still cautious and there was more sitting around in pairs rather than large groups in most cases. Staff still wore masks.
Our butler was excellent, the best of three we have had and the other two werevery good. If she was at the other end of the corridor when we returned to our cabin she would rub all the way to get m the door open (I am disabled and use a rollator, and then she would ask if we would like tea or coffee. Never had that before and she also sorted many other things. Thinking about it I never had to go to guest relations about anything. We are very low maintenance and apart from asking for a bed topper and a stool for the shower asked for nothing else, it was all about what she thought we needed, That is what I call service.
I love Silversea and am back in October, again on SS. I would love to try one of the other ships but dates have never fallen right. I agree their was perhaps not wow factor but think Silversea and trying not to tun risks of crowding people together yet.
Yes I too think the included excursions were good ones though actually we probably prefer to do out own thing and feel a group excursion every day is too much.
I will end by saying we went on Seabourn in March and we were not happy. In my mind the two are not comparable
