I am about to book the Lisbon to Cape Town cruise on Splendor in November but just read elsewhere that Starlink will not be operative on Splendor by the time of that cruise?  Does anyone know for sure whether that is true?  I absolutely need fast internet to stay in touch with my business on a cruise of this length.

Thanks in advance.

Any recent news on when we might expect to see a casino -- even a teensy casino -- on Serenity?   Keith?  Anyone?

Anyone know if the Queen Victoria will televise the Super Bowl?

My physical therapist has recommended that I work out each day on a stationary bike as part of my recovery from knee surgery.  Does anyone know if they have these on the Queen Victoria?

A photo would be appreciated if you have one.

Thanks in advance.

Does the Queen Victoria currently have Starlink?

Thanks in advance.

We are giving belated thought once again to joining the 2024 World Cruise.  Does anyone have a good fix on how many guests will be on board -- both full cruisers and segment cruises -- when Serenity sails from San Diego?

Big change in itinerary.  We were just told that after Vista's stop in St. John, New Brunswick, Wednesday, the ship is going to race straight to New York -- skipping Bar Harbor, skipping Boston, skipping Newport, and docking in New York Friday morning.

Anyone know where we are going to dock in New York?  If in Manhattan, that's pretty good news.  If in Brooklyn or New Jersey, we will be more distressed.

Here's a review of Crystal Serenity that appeared this week in the newspaper that serves Vero Beach, Florida (an upscale community about an hour north of Palm Beach).

Click on the link below and you will find the review on Page 50.

Well, I don't agree with paragraph one.  But I am 110 percent with you, Keith, on Paragraph 3.

And again, thanks for your many postings from the first two cruises.  It heightened our anticipation of the current cruise, which we are very thankful to be on.

Now, it's off to Umi Uma!  What a wonderful world.

That lounge space really does look forlorn at the moment.  Must have been decorated by the same person that chose the bizarre rust-stained carpeting for the otherwise excellent new Sapphire Veranda suites:)

Probably better to end these ridiculous comparisons before someone brings up the age of the ships and teensy cabins on Insignia, Nautica, Serena and Regatta.

End of Conversation

For years, I have heard Oceania cheerleaders insisting their ships have the best food at sea.  Having now spent close to three months on Oceania ships, we find these claims absolutely incredible.  The food in Oceania restaurants does not come even close to Crystal, Seabourn or Silversea, and in our view is quite some distance behind Regent and Viking.  And it's not just the dining room.  Jacques, in our view, may actually be the most overrated specialty restaurant at sea.

I would love to see Crystal build a ship just like Endeavor, which we spent a wonderful nine days on sailing among the British Virgins (though our view of it might have been influenced by the fact that we shared it with only 47 other guests in the post-pandemic aftermath).

I'd love to see a photo or two of the library.  I am hoping it is pretty much unchanged, since it was by far the best at sea.

Keith,

I have not seen anything about the 8-night Serenity cruise from Southampton to Reykjavik, which is also port intensive.  Will there be a formal night on that cruise, and if so, which one?

Also, are you able to find out what time Serenity gets into Reykjavik on Aug. 29th, and whether we will be able to get off for dinner in town if we desire?

Thanks

Yes, I understand how that works.  But I have a mostly-paid-for booking on a 2024 cruise that is not appearing.  I have a voyage confirmation email, i have a booking number, I have a voyage number -- but no sign of the booking on My Silversea.  There must be some webmaster link that I can report this to.  I do not see the need to get my TA involved.

I can't figure out how you get from the My Silversea home page to the "“add a booking” tab.  I've clicked on everything and this does not appear.

One of my bookings does not come up when I click on the bookings tab on the website, and I can't see any link where one would inquire about website problems.  Anyone have any ideas.  Thanks.

Given that Odyssey is scheduled to leave the fleet in a year, does anyone know whether and when Seabourn plans to install Starlink on Odyssey?

Thanks.

Well, it took me under 60 seconds to find the link, and sign up.  All pretty simple.  But unfortunately, when I signed in, no trace of my world cruise booking.  Not sure what to try next.

When we were on Zuiderdam last year, Neptune suite guests had breakfast in the Pinnacle.  Is that true on Volendam as well?

On Volendam, is there a separate dining room for Neptune suite guests?  And how does Club Orange work on Volendam?

Thanks.

Many thanks.  We're considering a three-month cruise starting in December and I can't survive without good internet.

Does the Silver Moon have Starlink?  If not, does anyone know when it is scheduled to be installed?

Thanks in advance

Has anyone heard whether Queen Anne is going to have Starlink onboard when it enters service next year?  We are eager to try the new ship, but only if the internet is better than on the Queens Mary, Elizabeth and Victoria.
