We selected Silversea Silver Wind because of it's size - not overwhelmingly large for us. This was our first Silversea cruise but it certainly won't be our last. The size of the ship is very manageable and the variety of restaurants was great for the two of us. This was our first time on the Mediterranean as well. We had a very spacious suite/cabin - the walk in closet and extra powder room - were great to have. Every person we were in contact with on the crew was exceptional - friendly, personable, and willing to help - from the Captain, the Cruise Director, the Hotel Manager, Guest Relations, to every person we were in contact with in the restaurants. We enjoyed the variety of ports and participated in some wonderful excursions combined with some private driver w/guide options in select places. Hats off to the chef!! The food at each of the restaurants was excellent for breakfast, lunch and dinner......great options. It was a wonderful cruise for us and we would definitely do it again.
