Rather ambiguous, he could be thinking yes my brand has been downgraded& Bert will do it more & it’ll be more Royal Caribbean than ever! I did not realise Barbara had been with Silversea for so long so perhaps like many other top staff she is going to Crystal, Silversea are no longer the line we remember when Manfradi owned it, hoping Crystal will be its replacement! We’re 5 days off 500 days then shall be taking new lines into account when booking. We can all summise until we here more, not long I assume, unless she had a NDA 

Who will eventually cover the costs? Unfortunately we passengers as Silversea cruise cost will increase more than ever! 

Are there any photos of the supposedly refurbishment of the Silver Wind and Silversea Whisper that were supposed to be happening December 20217 prior to the Silver Spirit sadly being stretched.

Somewhat shocked to find that the wifi setup on the Wind is both completely new and no longer matches what we have had for the last year or so.

 

There is still one hour per guest per day free BUT minutes are no longer accumulated for the voyage, any unused minutes expire at midnight and there is no mechanism for tracking how much you have used unless you log out.

 

The instructions state that disconnecting your wifi also logs you out, but it doesn't. There are no detailed instructions for using the system in the suites.

 

The portal page has disappeared and there are no longer streaming movies available via the internet (to be replaced by the new interactive TV system - but its not installed yet on the Wind).

 

If you need more than 1 hour of wifi, then there is a premium unlimited package, $39 per day (!!!!!) or $437 for a 17 day voyage.

 

Unlimited standard wifi is $25 per day or $300 for a 17 day voyage.

 

Pretty unimpressed with this and cannot see it being anything other than another money making opportunity for SS.

 

So far have seen many guests either confused by this new system at reception or complaining about it.

 

Oh and the online instructions that show on the new login page are still for the previous system.

Thanks for the details i was just looking and think it's outrageous, perhaps we should all start complaining via emails, letters and social media (that's recently worked re Silver Muse, i started it!!) Silversea are dropping small things and this is obviuosly another sneaky cost cutting! They really should think things through before implimenting them &then take notice of those who matter, us!!
