To summarize a cruise with "Silversea" would be to say it is like a "Cinderella Experience"! I realize everyone has their own preconceived expectations on what they are anticipating from "Their" cruise with no "2" being the same experience. To be sure there are individuals on each ship that are accustomed to being surrounded with staff that can address their every need and for them the cruise is merely an extension of their everyday lifestyle. However, it is perceived that for the vast majority on the ship, being treated with the level of "Silversea" personal detail is enjoyed and very much appreciated! Our close friends of 50 years invited us on this cruise and even though they have cruised on Silversea many times this was our first. Traveling about 12 weeks a year we have had the good fortune to travel almost all over the world, but this is only our 5th cruise, most have been on small ships with suite accommodations with accompanying staff . My first impression of Silversea is one of understated elegance and sophistication. The "Muse" certainly adheres to this theme and yet still remains open and inviting. We dined at all venues with the exception of the Japanese and found menu items on each menu that were over the top. We have to admit that part of the charm of this ship was great weather and sharing memories with such close dear friends. However, if I had to single out only "One", reason to chose Silversea over the many other choices available to you it would be that the staff and senior crew are exceptional individuals that go out of their way to make your cruising experience a memorable and enjoyable one. So if the shoe fits, put it on and you also could have a "Cinderella Experience"! Harry (MBSC)
