Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on a lot of cruises over the years, but this one was totally different.

Silver Sea is actually owned by Royal Caribbean, and let me tell you, the difference hits you the moment you step on board.

The experience opened my eyes to what luxury cruising is all about.

I really think the Silver Sea product is designed for folks that really value service, fine dining, and no crowds.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider if you value service, fine dining, and no crowds before booking a luxury cruise.
If you have kids, evaluate if they can enjoy the cruise without dedicated kids' clubs or water slides.
Take advantage of the butler service by spending time in your suite.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

I took the most my first cruise ever on a luxury cruise, and it's unlike anything I've done before. Unlike Royal Caribbean ships, almost everything is included in the cruise fare and there's only a few hundred passengers onboard. I sailed on Silversea's Silver Dawn, and it's the sister company to Royal Caribbean. I wanted to try Silversea after status matching between the lines became far easier and better last year. The experience opened my eyes to what luxury cruising is all about, because I wasn't prepared for the vibe of the experience in some areas.
