We have cruised several times - ocean and river. The Silver Muse was a beatiful ship. Service and food excellent. Entertaiment can be better. Organization and managment of passengers at ports of call well done. The butler service offers all you need in no time. There are no general restaurants so you choose the type of food ahead of time. There was only one night when the restaurant we wanted to use was full. Dining on deck where you can cook your steak on a hot rock was fun. The drinks are included and the quality of the wines was good overall. The captain was visible, interactive and very nice. Had an opportunity to dine with him and his wife - lovely couple. Although you pay more for being part of a luxury cruise, it is worth the money when you see the quality of what the ship offers. Truly enjoyed it.
