We've cruised the Med/Adriatic before, but this was our first time on Silversea. We booked the newest ship, The Muse, because we wanted the most modern amenities and experience. I'd say we got those mostly. When we arrived, the ship still had that 'new ship' smell....*ahhhh*... but unfortunately so did some of the service and processes. They still need to work some bugs out, but that's to be expected.

The ship is lovely and modern. The rooms were a perfect size - we never felt cramped or on top of each other, and it included a nice walk-in closet and sizeable bathroom with both shower and tub. (Although we felt the tub could go, possibly freeing up the space for a double sink setup, which would have been preferred.).

The public areas are beautiful and comfortable, and with only 600 passengers on the ship, they were almost never crowded. Even though the ship was full, we didn't actually see many people, outside of the pool deck or meals. The pool was never overcrowded - there were always chairs available and wait staff was plentiful. Lines to board tenders were never long, coming or going. It was a nice ship-to-crowd size overall, but there were a few things that were a bit tight - the gym, for example, was nicely appointed but too small and crowded most days. Read more
