Silver Wind Review
Rating by category
Additional details
After being totally spoiled on a luxury Paul Gauguin cruise in the South Pacific I started researching other luxury cruise lines to fulfill my second cruise of a life time to the Mediterranean. The Silversea line matched the ship size, number of passengers and itinerary I was looking for. We sailed from Istanbul to Athens in April 2013.
A lot of my review is a comparison to the Paul Gauguin experience. There are a lot of similarities between the two lines. I was not disappointed but I always expect more luxury as outlined in the brochures. I am still trying to figure out what the butler is supposed to do. Over all they are a cabin steward with a fancy title!
As stated in other reviews the ship is very dated in décor and not as well kept as expected. The low number of passengers allows you to meet and get to know other travelers. The age group is definitely the 50+ crowd which being in that group is fine with me.
Cabin Review
Midship Veranda Suite
The cabin was very nice. I really liked the walk in closet. The cabin was always kept clean and very comfortable. The only negative was the night in port; the AC did not cool as well as it did when we were at sea.
