Have a wonderful time aboard.

When we were on the Dawn a few weeks back most pax ignored all of the sanitizers and the hand washing stations in La T. No effort from crew to direct pax to wash up. This is in sharp contrast to the cruises immediately post Covid when pax were directed to wash hands.

Vista I was waiting to hear about your experience on the Dawn. Thanks for posting. I am sorry that your experience seems to be consistent with ours, days earlier. We too are looking elsewhere. After years of sailing with Silversea, the handwriting is on the wall.

I think there are many crew and Silversea personnel who would go to Crystal right now. We are looking at Crystal.

Wondering if you have sailed on Silversea of late? The end of cruise survey is completed via the interactive app. I could never get it to go through. Moreover I couldn’t write in the names of the crew members who deserved special recognition.

I think they already did

Yes all the best to Barbara.

Hair dryer by Bentley! Kid you not.

This was not an instant thing. Been in the works for awhile, announced today. Very sad to see her go because she was responsive to the pax and had the brand in mind.

The Silversea experience has been deliberately and systematically eroded by the management. By penny pinching, profit taking and metric splicing, the Royal people have eliminated the little and big touches that made Silversea seem special, and a luxury line. The product has been dumbed down so much. Relaxing the dress code may make the pax look less elegant, but the Silversea bears the brunt of the blame for what has happened. Frankly, I do not think the management cares. The older and wiser Silversea pax of old are not valued, after all they are expendable just by virtue of age.

Not sure about the pax on deck 5. After much thought, we have decided we cannot throw good money after bad and have cancelled our cruise on the Spirit for September - October. We have 448 days on Silversea at the present time. We can accept change when it is for the good and the concept doesn’t change. The Silversea product has drastically changed in our opinion.

Not on the Dawn crossing March 19- April 2.

Agree about Steve and his help. Invaluable.

I know. That is why I am wondering how they pulled this off.
