unfathomable

No charge and first come first served, but this was a year ago.

They will ticket flights on request, but you are then on the hook for the full cost if you cancel.

I'm not aware of any limits.

Are you sailing from Piraeus (Athens)? I just received a revised cruise ticket, less than a week after the original. I am boring and I read these things! THE COVID TEST RULES HAVE CHANGED, for Piraeus or for us at least. For us, it means we've lost the cost of our pre-booked video-proctored tests and had to rush to book new in-person tests. More to the point, we could easily have missed this change and the cruise. The words: "If you arrive for embarkation without a valid negative test result, you will be denied boarding" are scary. So if you are sailing from Piraeus (Athens) please check whether this might apply to you. If I've helped, buy me a drink on board! Not impressed that this change wasn't flagged by Silversea.

1. No problem. Luxury is what you make of it. 2. It depends. You can always ask. 3. Probably not. But you may be able to download in advance and bring some things with you? There are movies on demand in your suite. 4. Not really, but ask reception if this is important to you. 5. Maybe, depending on how full the ship is, the voyage demographics and the time of day. HTH!

Mostly reliable on a TA. If there’s an equipment problem, you might have no access until the ship reaches tech help. But the high/low latitudes are more usually where you can expect problems routinely.

I was looking at my BA bookings today and noticed that there was a missing reservation. I checked by using “manage my booking” with the locator code for the flight. Turned out both legs, outbound and inbound, for my next SS cruise in Europe had been cancelled. Neither BA or SS had notified me. The flights were part of a SS door-to-door reservation. This is in less than two months’ time. My TA, once notified, rectified the problem and re-booked me within 15 minutes. (BA is not even answering the phone right now.) My TA is a star. My blood pressure is coming back to normal! If you have an upcoming cruise, and it includes flights, especially BA, please check that they still exist.
