sunnitimes Posted May 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2014 When, in advance of the cruise, is the famous Silver Box supposed to arrive? And does that come from our TA or Silverseas directly? Have seen nothing yet and our first cruise is in mid-June. Thanks for any advice/help given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myc6toy Posted May 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Our Silver Box arrived 4 weeks before our cruise, and came via our TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Retired Posted May 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2014 We are on the Discoverer on June 12... the box arrived a couple of days ago by Fedex Overnight from Italy and the luggage tags say "printed in Italy". I wonder if that is due to cost reasons or whether more Silversea adminstration is being centralized. Now all we need is our Russian visas... there was apparently a mistake on our invitation letter which is causing a delay but we are assured Silversea is getting that corrected.

Why the surprise,it's an Italian company owned by Italians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted May 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Did you receive the invitation letter to Russia because according to pinnacle we are supposed to send a copy along with our passports !!

Mr Retired Posted May 7, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I know it's an Italian company but the silver boxes on our previous cruises originated in the US... hence my surprise also bearing in mind that FedEx overnight from Italy must cost significantly more than US domestic. Yes we had the invitation letters and sent them to Pinnacle with all the other required papers. Not sure what was wrong but Pinnacle said some defect in the letters had to be corrected.

Rare spinnaker2 Posted May 8, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2014 How far in advance of cruise did you get letters I am concerned I don't have enough time to get what I need AND I am having passport withdrawal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Retired Posted May 8, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Invitation letters (cost $40 each) were received via our TA 100 days before sailing. Corrected ones apparently much later:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
