herbanrenewal Posted February 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I booked Silver Galapagos recently because the early discounts, all inclusive cruise was better priced than Celebrity. Over the year Celebrity has downgraded quite a bit, so I have been considering changing lines. I searched this thread to see if I could find what people really like/love about SS. I couldn't find a thread on the topic. Also curious to know what the butler does? Is it just a glorified name for room attendant? or are there other services? What makes SS Special enough to justify higher fees? Thanks for your input! kath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreecruise Posted February 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2017 You will enjoy your trip to the Galapagos. Silversea has side trips to other parks in Peru you may want to look into. Butler's on this ship are limited in there duties but just go and experience their services. I personally like Silversea butler service over Seabourns room attendant. Go with no exceptions and see if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotsnCruises Posted February 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Next week I will experience my first Silversea cruise after being a pretty loyal Celebrity cruiser. I agree with Celebrity beginning the downslide of services and up-charging. I will be happy to report back after my cruise to share my experience. It won't quite be the same, since I will not be on an Expedition cruise, but I can definitely fill in some of the curiosity. Happy Cruising!

Randyk47 Posted February 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2017 While we came to Silversea after 17 years of being Holland America "loyalists" it sounds like we were tempted to try a different cruise line for many of the same reasons. Funny thing was that six years ago we were researching a Med cruise and actually started with Holland America as our typical go-to cruise line but weren't opposed to other options. I won't go into the details but circumstances all came together and we took our first Silversea's cruise. I can't or won't guarantee you all will be converts like us but at this point I can't see us going back to Holland America or any of the large ship lines any time soon.
