The Muse was larger than other Silverseas ships that I have sailed. Dinner seating was assigned/guided by the dining staff. As a solo traveler, I missed out on casual conversation with others during dinner. On past cruises, I introduced myself at tables with an empty chair and was always invited to join the others at the table…those casual meetings over dinner enabled me to make acquaintances that made other trips more enjoyable.
I went to the informal, no host, solo traveler gatherings at 5 pm in the lounge… I did not find such a group.
It was a lonelier trip than past cruises.
