We chose Silversea due to their reputation for service and chose Silver Wind in particular due to its small size and itinerary. We had a wonderful time and overall were very pleased with our cruise.
Embarkation was AMAZING. We showed up 45 minutes prior to the published embarkation beginning time and within 25 minutes were in La Terazza eating lunch! We kept staring at each other wondering how that happened...but we were so very grateful it did!
We were fortunate that two weeks prior the Wind had undergone renovations to their rooms, which we found to be wonderfully appointed. The bed was dreamy and our refrigerator never ran out of champagne...how could anything NOT be good?
Between 5:15 a.m. and 5:30 every morning, a crew cleaned the deck directly above us (the pool bar area). We endured the equivalent of a football game for 30-45 minutes each morning. We doubt we would choose a 7th level room again for that reason, since a walk on the pool deck didn't easily identify a "quiet zone" room!
That said, the room itself was wonderfully appointed, comfortable and clean. It was delightful.
