Hi John,

Agree with much of what you post about Silversea. We enjoy Silversea very much -- especially the Italian restaurant. However, after sailing on the Whisper and Spirit and doing a tour on the Cloud (could have been the Wind), we would not feel comfortable sailing on either ship (Cloud or Wind) due to it's apparent age and size. IMO, the Whisper is the most comfortable and best laid out ship we have sailed on to date.

Note: We do not care for Hot Rocks. IMO, it was gimicky (spelling?), noisy and the service was spotty. Having the servers carry hot rocks and food up and down the stairs was more than I felt they should go through (on the Spirit).
