My wife and both in our late 60's I did our first silversea cruise 10 days Athens- Athens in May on Spirit we have previously done 20 + cruises on various other cruise lines. Overall we enjoyed it most nights meal was lovely, short of some wines my wife preferred and not quite the choice of rums for me that I have seen on other ships. Our butler and cabin maid were good but we never asked for anything extra anyway. Excursions were good and well organised. What did strike us was a distinct lack of atmosphere at nights especially on the ship, where a few would sit and listen to the lady pianist or the jazz band. At 10 pm we went and watched the show that was on but only about 40 /50 bothered turning up each night.About a mad dozen would then make there way up to the disco! up the top.😊 We knew it would be nothing like a bigger ship but were surprised how very low key it is. After the long day trip into Jerusalem half the ship seemed to dissapear for 2 days.! Still debating if we would do it again or not, price and intinary will decide.
