Sounds like getting this suite is really paying off

You should start off by going to youtube and searching Silversea.

Maybe day, month, year not month, day, year????

I'm going on my first SS and my first TA cruise this Nov on Nova, and then will decide.

My SS agent said "it's a glich in the system". The cruise I was looking at is now back to the old way

I noticed that too, when checking a P2P 2024 trip today (on US website) (Silver Ray 12/4/24 LIS-FLL).

I had mine booked and before too, but EJ agent applied later. I think you had to have an existing reservation in order to apply the promotion.

In late January through February, EJ was offering a 2 Category upgrade (not including residences) plus 500 OBC to MSC Diamonds. This was at the same time MSC was offering a Diamond status match with other elite status loyalty programs (and not just cruise programs).

FYI, the new SS Nova is going Lisbon to NYC in November....

Where do you find this information? I was thinking it was more a problem of a securing the ports. I know there have been recent problems and limits set in Alaska for one thing. I guess I don't think I'm paying a premium, just an all inclusive price (gratuities, drinks, spa, port tax, etc). The 1st cruise I booked with EJ was the same price as one I had reserved with a similar itinerary and cabin (club balcony) on NCL Viva. Also, new ships seems to always be higher priced than older ones.

There are adults only cruises and even cruise lines, but they all advertise themselves that way. If it doesn't say adults only, it's not. You need to tell your TA or booking agent, in advance, that you only want adults only cruises. https://explorajourneys.com/us/en/life-on-explora/multi-generational-journeys?utm_source=sfmc&utm_term=Multigen_CTA_US&utm_content=229875&utm_id=22d3fda1-afe5-4460-8d0b-82565653be7b&sfmc_activityid=2cbe177b-a442-49a9-a7cf-2ee50ff61b1b&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=B2C_NL_ED_11052023_ENG_INT_US_UK_Multigen

Summer 2024 are now on the EJ site

There are several online TA sites that have real time cabin availability for most all lines and ships.

Does a travel agent help with Silversea or better to book direct? There is no reason to pick one in advance, get information from both then decide.

I have my first SS cruise coming up and embarkation, as described here, sounds great. Is disembarkation similar?

Summer of 2024 cruises dates are available through some online TA's. Not showing yet on Explora site.

I posted that, but agree with your interpretation of 15% of total. I got the 3.75% from 15% of the 25% deposit.

Interesting, I didn't interpret it that way

Got it, but with regular P2P you only have to put down a 25% deposit, and when you cancel you lose 15% of the deposit (so 3.75% of the cruise price). Which cruise is it?

I think some people on this thread think you had a P2P fare, and don't realize you actually had a P2P prepaid fare that included an additional 15, 20, or 25% discount for paying upfront with no refunds. Many deal with TA's and aren't aware of that pricing option.

So now your P2P prepaid with the prepaid discount is ~1k/pp more then current p2p prepaid offer? I can see why you are upset. Have the increased the prepay discount?

Wow, did you prepay and get a prepay discount?
