There were many magical moments during our 13-day Caribbean cruise on Silver Muse, Silversea's impressive new ship that was launched in April 2017.
We stayed in a glorious Silver Suite — more than 700 square feet large — and enjoyed the services of our super butler, Pedro. The highlights kept coming: a different port every day except two, great food and lots of fun at sea and on land.
Although there were kids on board (it was spring break), the ship is ideal for couples, especially ones celebrating an anniversary like we were. Of course, having a butler like our Pedro Banac from the Philippines put the icing on the cake when he decorated our suite like a disco streaming in romantic Kenny Rogers tunes such as "Through the Years" (made me cry) that we just had to dance to.
If you're not familiar with them, Silversea is one of an elite group of luxury cruise ship operators that offer all-inclusive fares that cover all drinks (wines, champagne, booze, specialty coffee) and tips.
Silver Muse turned out to be simply one of the best ships we've sailed in years and the photos above will show you why. Here's my review of this fab ship.
