Silvermoon I is wonderful

[jhetanna]

Just returned from a wonderful 10 night cruise!

 

Our best day by far was on the Silvermoon I. A representative met us at gate 2 and after a 5 minute bus ride we arrived at the dock.

 

Ben and Sean were wonderful. Unlimited drinks were offered continuously throughout the day. Lunch was also spectacular with chicken, fish, mac n cheese, rice, salad, and banana bread for dessert! Yummy!

 

They timed everything just right so we missed the crowds as we snorkled with turtles, over the ship wreck and over coral. Then they gave our children plenty of time to swim in the beautiful water.

 

There were only 11 of us on this boat (the max is 12). We had 5 children and Ben and Sean were great with them.

 

We never felt rushed - it was the most relaxing day. Other boats looked crowded as they sailed by.

 

I highly highly recommend the Silvermoon I!

 

Book it - you'll love it.

:) We sailed the Silvermoon on March 10th and had a wonderful day. I second all the nice things that are said about the Silvermoon. We really enjoyed the sea turtles and the great food, drinks and service on board. It was one of the highlights of our cruise on the Sea Princess. Jeff&Cyndi

We also did this when we were in Barbados and it has been one of our favorite excursions.

We have booked the Silvermoon I in June. Sounds like we made a good choice. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for sharing your review! We're on Silvermoon I in April and cannot wait!

 

We booked with them 9 months ago and in that time I have not seen one single negative comment (which is astounding IMHO).

 

Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

DO THEY HELP YOU GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE WATER???? I AM A BIT HANDICAPPED. NANCIE

[RCCLismyfav]

All you have to do is ask for help, thier boat was pretty easy to get in and out of.

 

My DH and I took this tour this past January and it was the best tour we had ever been on! We will book with them again......

Nancy, if you check out my photos, you will get an idea about how the back of the boat is configured. There is also a metal ladder with rounded steps that swivels down off the back of the steps and into the water for very easy access in and out of the water.

 

We have done this excursion twice and LOVE it!

 

Here is a picture where I am sitting on the steps that go down to the ladder which is in the water when you are swimming. You can also see the great hand rails that make it easy to get up the ladder.

I didn't find prices on their website - can you give me an idea how much it would be?

[Sheffie]

We paid $100 pp. I don't know if the price has gone up or not since we booked last June. We thought it was well worth it for a great day.

Thanks for the report on Silver Moon I. There are about 10 of us who plan to do this excursion April 2008. How soon should we book? Was there a shady area for those of us who need it? Do they supply the snorkle equipment along with life jacket for the snorkeling? Were they good about getting you back to the ship on time? Is it $100pp?

 

Sheffie - thanks for the pics, it looks like you had a great time

Thanks in Advance:) :)

Book ASAP! We booked in June for the following April. With 10 of you wanting to go, you need to be sure that you can get all of you on the boat.

 

Yes, there was a lot of shade at the back of the boat. They supply snorkel wquipment and require everyone to wear one of their snorkel vests (life jacket-like) at the first 2 stops.

 

We got back to the pier with plenty of time to do some shopping before going back to the ship.

Thanks, really appreciate your quick reply.

You can make reservations no sooner than six months prior to date of sail. Also, currently Silver Moon is on the market to be sold.

Maybe they changed the rules, but we booked almost 10 months out. Also, the Silver Moon has been up for sale for quite a while. I know for over a year, so I wouldn't let that stop me from booking.
