Trying to decide whether to take my first cruise - Mediterranean, this fall. Silversea gets very mixed reviews, some say is the epitome of luxury, others say the Silver Wind is worn and the food is OK. A few posts, mostly on another website, speak about how the line has gone downhill. What interests me about the cruise is going to a number of places without packing and unpacking, but for the price, I expect luxury and quality food. Please share your experience about this line and the Silver Wind in particular.

check reviews on cruisecritic also.

Thanks Sassafrass. That website is where some of the more mediocre reviews came from.

I've taken 2 trips with Silverseas: one the Mediterranean and one to Russia/Sweden/Finland. I loved it. Excellent service, great food and I felt it was well worth the price. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the ships for both but the first was the Silver Cloud.

Thank you all. I have decided I am nervous enough about the cruisecritic reviews that I am going to pass on the cruise and do a land tour instead.
