This appears to be CORRECT.

New Silversea President is Bert Hernanadez.

Nova deck plan available on Silversea website shows a Launderette on deck 9 near the forward elevator bank.  Same location on deck 6 & 8.  Same area on deck 7 is not labeled.

It's such a shame that OP is unaware of optional dress codes on Informal nights.

On Informal nights, passengers may dress casual at the following restaurants - La Terrazza, Kaiseki, Seishin, and Silver Note.

Dress code is always casual in Hot Rocks and Spaccanapolli.

Just quit complaining.

You knew what dress codes were when you booked the cruise.

This is what makes Silversea different (better) than the competition.

I thought you were referring to a single person.

31,000 days for all passengers is a large number but entirely possible.

31 thousand days equates to 85 years.

That is IMPOSSIBLE.

Deck 11 looks like a lot of deck space.

Hope some of it is shaded.

This could end up to be a lot a wasted space.

Fort Myers.  I hope you guys are ok.  If there Ian must have been hell.  

Hi everyone,

Yes we are fine.

We lived in Cape Coral for 25 years in a water front home.

5 years ago we decided to move inland to get away from hurricane issues.

We made a good decision.

We now live in a gated community in Estero on the East side of Interstate 75.

Hurricane Ian was a major wind event.

Major damage to bushes, trees, etc.

No damage to house except for several missing roof ridge caps.

We never lost power.

Water was out for 2 days (still under boil water notice).

Cable and internet was out for 2 days.

Cell service was out for 4 days.

Everything is slowly returning to normal.

Thanks for thinking about us.

The bow tie symbols just showed up on our 3 Dawn cruises in December and January.

I have also wanted to use Silversea Shore Baggage Valet to ship luggage from home directly to the ship.

I was told by Silversea to contact valet@silversea.com for additional information.

I sent an email almost 3 months ago and never received a response.

I called silversea and was told the email valet@silversea.com was to only way to make arrangements for luggage shipping.

I am wondering if silversea still will handle luggage shipping.

Has anyone shipping luggage with Silversea recently???

I don't have apple products.

I have andriod phone

Anyone have any experience with something similar to AirTags that works with android products?

Thanks

Wednesday I checked the Silversea website.

It looks like ALL suite catagories are WAITLISTED.

It appears the entire ship is already sold out.

Glad we made our reservation as soon as the cruise became available.

We have never cruised during the Christmas & New Years Holidays until now.

We have the Christmas cruise and the New Years cruise booked on the Silver Dawn in Dec 2022.

It looks like the ship could be close to capacity for the Christmas cruise and is completely WAITLISTED for the New Years cruise.  

We anticipate reservations for some of the restaurants MAY be difficult to secure unless we make the reservations as soon as available.

Currently debating on which restaurants would be best for the evening meal for the following days:

Christmas Eve

Christmas Day

New Years Eve

New Years Day

Does Silversea do special menus during the holidays?  Which restaurants?

Any recommendations from someone with Silversea cruise experience on these holidays would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob & Terry

Even with the changes, we are still going.

Considered cancelling but decided to go ahead with cruise.

We have had this cruise planned for a long time.

FEDEX already picked up luggage today for shipping to Fort Lauderdale.

We already have the rest of 2022 and most of 2023 already booked.

Even with the changes we are still looking forward to the cruise.

HOPEFULLY we will see at least some of you on board.

Safe Travels.

Which menu did you have?

 

It should be the same show.   Scott posted pictures of his meal from Equinox and looks to be same as the show for days 1-4.   They have the original Lobster and Steak on the other nights. 

Our shoreside Retreat Suite Concierge sent us the 3 menus for Le Petit Chef.

Le Petit Chef and Family - MENU#3.pdf Le Petit Chef and Friends Menu - MENU#2.pdf Le Petit Chef Menu Extraordinaire - MENU#1.pdf

Another option is LabMasters in Hollywood Florida (South of the Airport).

www.LabMastersMD.com

They have their own testing equipment and can do Antigen or PCR.

Antigen results are available in 15 minutes.

For an additional fee, you can get the results of the PCR test in as little as 30-45 minutes.

The rates are pricey but you can get the results fast.

Hi Jim,

Enjoy your cruise and have a good time.

Long time between recent cruises.

We have several B2B2B cruises booked on Equinox in summer of 2022.

Have a safe flight to Fort Lauderdale.

Safe Travels.

Just received our policy, and it excludes "epidemic" issues with no rider language overriding that to INCLUDE CoVID coverage. 

I also just received our policy.  At the end of the policy there is a section of OUR policy entitled "Epidemic Coverage Endorsement" which specifically states that coverage is included.

"You or a traveling companion becomes ill or injured, or develops a medical condition (including being diagnosed with an epidemic or pandemic disease such as COVID-19)..."

Suggest investigating your policy to confirm it includes this endorsement.

In Fort Lauderdale on the day of sailing we have found it difficult to find a van type vehicle from the taxi companies.  On one occasion we had preordered a taxi van for ride from hotel to port.  Waited more than an hour.  Was told vans were in short supply at hotels.  Vans mostly tied up picking up passengers at port.

Next time we used Uber.  No problem.

Silversea has announced their 2024 WC but I believe bookings are currently only open to those booked on the 2022 and/or 2023 sailing. 

The Silversea 2024 World Cruise was announced on Monday July 12 (I think).  As of this morning, the Silversea website indicates the ship is sold out with Wait List only available.

IN 4 DAYS.
