Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you all, that is exactly the information (and the form) I needed.
  2. Can one disembark at a port that is not the disembarkation port and rejoin the cruise at the next port stop? If so, is this arranged with Princess head office or through onboard services? Any additional information would be appreciated. Thanks!
  3. Currently on the Spirit. Boarded on Friday and after a day and night in port today we set off for Walvis Bay. This is our first time on the Spirit and our only previous Silversea cruise was on the Moon. For context, we have cruised on Crystal and Seabourn many times. I too was worried having read the same reviews. First impressions are of a ship that is in good condition but could use a refresh, compared to Moon which is much newer and feels lighter, prettier and more spacious. Nothing that would be a deal breaker though. The service is excellent and dinner tonight at Indochine was great. We missed the headline entertainer but went to the Panorama Lounge and the place was rocking. Had a lot of fun. The lecturer this afternoon was good and on topic. We’re not too fond of buffets but had a nice lunch at La Terrazza yesterday. So, so far so good. Definitely not a bust and we are enjoying ourselves. Bonus, saw a humpback whale from my balcony this afternoon. Don’t fret 😁
  4. All I can say is I’m so jealous!!! Boarding a Silversea ship in Cape Town next week and I’m excited but I would be much more excited if it was a Crystal ship 😞
  5. Thanks @westmount, quite the opposite though. Husband hates suits and ties but loves wearing a tux. We have three formal nights coming up in January so considering bringing the tux πŸ™‚
  6. Generally speaking, can anyone comment on whether there are any/many men in tuxedos on formal nights? thanks!
  7. @Fletcher awesome pictures. Thanks for posting!
  8. Avenue Salon that retains the intimacy but has a bit more capacity Promenade deck
  9. Nauplion (or Nafplio) is a gorgeous island with a strong Venetian influence that you can still see as you walk through its streets. It is possibly my favourite of the Greek islands and I think you will enjoy it.
  10. Hello, how close to the travel date does Silversea Air issue the air tickets? Thanks!
  11. Would you please post pictures of the fitness equipment. In particular the weight lifting machines. Thanks
  12. @Peanutbrittle56 unfortunately air travel has become incredibly unpredictable with many more flights cancelled or delayed than before the pandemic. I would sincerely recommend you plan to fly to Barbados the day before. We were flying from Vancouver to Barbados last December to join the Silver Moon and all it took was a delayed departure for everything to unravel. Long story short, the airline sent us from Toronto to Miami to spend the night there and then fly to Barbados on the only flight available the day of the cruise.
