Is Spirit an odd man out in the Silversea fleet?  Comparing her specs and deck plans to the Muse – did they make a lot of mistakes on Spirit that were corrected in the future designs in that series?  Muse has a higher tonnage but fewer cabins.  Don't know if any of that affected your cruise, as the complaints seem to be about soft items (food quality and service issues) rather than the basic design.

 

I would have been very upset about the itinerary changes (even understanding the reasons), and expected that Silversea would have gone all-out to deliver excellence in every other area to make up for it.  Combining the poor new itinerary with so many deficiencies was adding insult to injury...

Spirit is our least favorite ship.

My most exciting excursion was today. We had a head on with another bus. Fortunately it was the worst affected. 
The only injuries on our bus were 4-5 of us with grazed knees. Fortunately mine decided not to bleed despite my rivaroxiban.

 

Ours is the white bus.

You always seem to travel with a little cloud over you head😇

I see you finally got the hang of posting pictures 🙄

Tully (and I suspect others) give a rebate- much better than OBC on Silversea.

Yes, there are others. But I don’t think it’s allowed to name them here. It would probably cause too much competition friction for CC?

If you have the equipment, what does it matter when it happens?

 Maybe 2 aircraft carrier groups lounging about in the area has something to do with it.

So far the menus still look the same as always.

Straight out of the Master fleet wide daily menu schedule.

An excuse to save more money! And cut more corners.

Me too. Maybe if I can get them on my phone I can figure out a way to save them digitally. 🤔 

It’s just isn’t the same for us old timers who are digitally handicapped.

I loved the ship and absolutely will sail on her again!

Don't want my comments to come across as negative or complaining at all - just want to point out some differences from the other ships, a few things to get used to and a few areas that hopefully will be tweaked based on guest feedback. 

 

Didn’t take it that way. Just like to read it on paper and carry it with me off the ship if I want. I think they will have less surveys to go through also. I think this system downgrades the personal touch.

You did a fabulous write up, thank you.😊

I don’t think we’ll be doing a Nova cruise.

Hope it wasn’t the buffet.

A little problem o the Muse. With our TV off we can listen to BBC news as they have it on in the adjoining suite.

Will become a major problem if they have it on late into the night. 
So have notified the butler so we will see how good he is.

Can relate. Have also been there!🙁

After I got my 1st shingles shot I still got a mild case of it.

We have had our latest flu, rsv and the Covid shot was last Monday.  All were spaced about 3 weeks apart. We were aching after each one.
