New to Silversea

We are thinking of cruising with Silversea for the first time after a few Regent cruises.

 

Not being a fan of formal nights, I understand one can dine in casual restaurants as an option. Are we then required to head back to our suite or will we be allowed in the bars or at the show?

 

Sorry if this has been asked many times before.

 

Thanks.

Except for the occasional sweater we are in jackets every night. What "casual" restaurant are you talking about, hot rocks ? Most men wear jackets for dinner then there are tie nights and then there are the dark suit nights. SS is a dressy affair and most like it that way. UNLESS you are on an excursion ship.

 

But to answer your question you will not be sent back to your suite. I have though be sent back to my suite for a jacket for the MDR on those nights.

According to the dress code from Silversea's website, The Grill is indeed Casual on all nights:

 

Clothing Suggestions – Shipboard Attire

 

Shipboard attire ranges from casual to formal. Casual wear is appropriate for daytime aboard ship or ashore and consists of standard sports outfits as worn at five-star resorts. Shoes should be flat or low heeled for deck activities. Evening attire falls into three categories: casual, informal and formal. On casual evenings, pants, blouses, skirts and casual dresses for ladies; open-neck shirts and slacks for gentlemen are appropriate. On informal evenings, ladies usually wear dresses or pantsuits; gentlemen wear jackets (tie optional). Appropriate formal evening wear for ladies is an evening gown or cocktail dress; gentlemen wear tuxedos, dinner jackets or dark suits. Tie is required.

 

On formal nights, guests may dine in La Terrazza and choose to dress informal; dresses or pantsuits for ladies, jackets for gentlemen (tie optional). This option also applies to Seishin and Stars on board Silver Spirit. Dining at The Grill is optional casual all nights. Following dinner, all guests are free to take advantage of any or all public spaces, however, jacket is required. Sailings of 9 days or less typically feature 1 formal night, while longer voyages usually have 2-3 formal nights. Details will be provided in your final cruise documents, but the chart below provides a basic guideline to assist in packing the proper attire.

 

Please note: On 7 day sailings in the Baltic, Mediterranean and Alaska, formal night is always optional; guests may choose to

dress informal, a jacket is required for gentlemen.

Thank you for the most helpful replies.

 

Decision time. Try Silversea or Viking Ocean. It would be the first time for either. North Cape of Norway.

 

Cheers.

Consider the size of the two ships and the itinerary. We did Norway on the Cloud and loved it.

We considered both Regent and Silversea for Norway last year, when the CEO of Norwegian Cruise line told me the Explorer was doing Norway, it was a no brainer to go with Silversea. The Explorer does not have an open deck—-in our view critical to enjoy the stunning views of the Norwegian coast and North cape as you approach. Pls see a few snaps taken last July when we were on board the Silver Wind
