Chose cruise for itinerary. Usually sail with Crystal and I missed them! This ship pretty but staterooms' soundproofing lacking because TVs were in wall. Could hear neighbors' TV right through the wall, Food was not memorable and passengers had no open seating option. Had to reserve every night--earliest was a 7 p.m. reservation. One show each night at 9:45 or 10 p.m. --not good for those passengers who go to bed before midnight. Tiny library. Service was excellent. Scenery and excursions very enjoyable. Went a day early to Athens. Very nice hotel stay with concierge level upgrade. Enjoyed Silversea's provision for business class flights. Traveled by myself as I usually do and encountered some staff who did not react as I would have expected. Given my experience, I doubt I will be taking another cruise with Silversea. I have conveyed everything I have said here in my surveys on the ship and in conversations with staff on board so nothing in this review should surprise them. Missed having lectures to prepare for port visits. Great fitness option
