RECOMMENDED: Yes
MoreSmall ship cruising feels more relaxing and luxurious.
My Mediterranean cruise on the Silver Spirit was amazing. I felt pampered from the minute I stepped on to the ship. Boarding a small cruise ship of about 600 passengers was so different than boarding a giant cruise ship. It was calm, quick and easy. Having a butler was something I never thought I would experience, but it was delightful. Shore excursions are included and we got to choose between several in each port. All our guides were wonderful and having the excursions included saved us a lot of money! Small ship cruising is definitely the way to go. Silversea gets my vote.

PROS: Silversea Cruises includes free shore excursions. The ship's complementary wines, (and wine service),were exemplary, and well-appreciated by the guests.
CONS: Only 3 Guest Entertainers for a 15-day cruise. Only four "orchestra" musicians. Too many formal and informal nights. Very sub-standard/problematic TV remote controls. Only (Silversea) ship to have ONE unisex sauna, steam room, shower (with no lockers). No stateroom night lights. No afternoon tea.
RECOMMENDED: Yes
