Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Wencel, I was also on Nova October 15 to November 18, mid ship deck 9. Overall, it was no worse than on Riviera in January in the Caribbean. The noise on Nova was mainly when the sea was rougher. During the trans-Atlantic we did have more nights that were rougher than others. However, one night in the MDR the noise did seem worse than normal. When the captain gave weather updates, he mentioned the creaking and groaning. I wonder if it will gradually get better as the ship ages and parts that rub together in bad weather smooth out. We'll be on Vista next month. I hope the creaking and groaning of the new ship will not bother DH.
  2. I use them for storing a coat in the upper bin on planes.
  3. I booked Ama for the first time. The ship is Lyra, Paris to Rouen to Paris. I'm concerned about the condition of the ship since it is older and sat used during covid. Will there be any mold smell in the fabric and carpeting in the cabin? I could not find a recent review and would appreciate comments from anyone who has been on Lyra since 2022.
  4. As a frequent passenger on Crystal including the 2022 Grand Voyage, I'm trying Silversea for longer cruises. Crystal prices for a veranda for a solo are ridiculous, and the closet space seems inadequate. My last Silversea cruise was too long ago to compare with today's ships. Looking forward to Nova next month and Moon for a couple of months this coming winter. I hope to see other passengers from previous cruises.
  5. That's good to know. Thank you. Last time on Silversea was before it was sold, and trying Seabourn for the first time next year.
  6. Wasn't sure if the Atlantide menu was available for all stateroom categories. Some cruise lines limit this service to higher categories.
  7. It just keeps getting better and better. Thank you.
  8. Was the lactose free cow milk whole or 2%? I do not want skim or low fat milk. I'll request the milk at the same time as notifying Silversea of food allergies.
  9. Yum! Looking forward to lamb chops! I hope they are on the menu every night on Nova. Is room service in a deluxe veranda limited to the room service menu? Can I get lamb chops in room service during dinner hours? Is shrimp cocktail available in room service between 12 and 5pm?
  10. I always request lactose free whole milk at least a month before a cruise. Some cruise lines are better than others at having it onboard. It's annoying when they bring skim milk, or worse, soy milk. On one cruise line I had to specify lactose free cow milk on the breakfast card. Keeping a sense of humor helps.
  11. Do they have lactose free whole milk?
  12. Are they careful about food allergies?
  13. Is the card system for pre-ordering the night before still used for breakfast?
  14. Does the butler take the order and deliver room service orders in a double veranda or window cabin?
