Stumblefoot Posted September 14, 2018 #30 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Folks, be sure you use the link from SS to access the voyages. I’ve noticed quite a few changes vs. the PDF file posted in this thread yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted September 14, 2018 #31 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Thanks. I didn’t expect it to be an expedition ship. I’m not clear how that would work for Cuba. Would zodiacs be used to get into ports? I expected for the most part to simply explore cities, such as Havana, and smaller towns and things like that. Not sure how an expedition fits into this. I’ve tried to locate information on Silversea excursions in Cuba without success. Any suggestions, anyone? It works.We have already done Cuba on the Explorer and only 1 zodiac landing to a National Park during our time in Cuba.

Rare RachelG Posted September 14, 2018 #32 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi Rachel, I’d heard it as speculation, so it was interesting to me to see the disappearance of Discoverer for certain. See anything you like? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Still considering. The Dunedin to Dunedin on Explorer look good, but my piggy bank is currently empty as I booked and paid for Reykjavik to Reykjavik on Could and made final payment on a pricey regent cruise from Buenos Aires to Santiago.

Sweetpea711423 Posted September 15, 2018 #34 Share Posted September 15, 2018 It works.We have already done Cuba on the Explorer and only 1 zodiac landing to a National Park during our time in Cuba.Report here- https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=47870137 Thanks so much for the information and link to your cruise report. It was extremely interesting. My remaining concern is that I am American, and apparently Silversea is still not advertising its Cuba cruises on its US site (even though cruises to Cuba are allowable for US citizens even with the changes to US Cuban policy by Trump). Does anyone have any information on whether US citizens would be able to book and take this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 15, 2018 #35 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I got the email the other day and I see lots of good itineraries too:D There is 1 that really caught my eye...…. So prices come out on Monday? I guess I will contact SS at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les37b Posted September 17, 2018 #38 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Rang the UK office . Prices will be available on Monday. Have you had any joy? I made an email request for 3 Spirit, 2 Moon and 2 Wind voyages. All fares now include business class flights and the fares seem (to me) have hugely increased. You can save £500 to go without the air travel, but even with that, the fares are much more than I would have expected. I’ve rejected all the Spirit and Moon Options but have reserved the 2 Wind options I looked at. .... 738 :-) One thing is for sure, these fares have gone up.... at least for us £££ Buyer’s!

MBP&O2/O Posted September 17, 2018 #39 Share Posted September 17, 2018 £500 in lieu of business class travel ... I think not! Let’s face it, BA Club Europe doesn’t offer that much at the best of times[emoji53] I made a very quick comparison and the prices seem to be about £200+ per day more than a similar Crystal one I was looking at. Not overly impressed at all. Sent from the magic box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipsmail Posted September 17, 2018 #40 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Northwest passage cruise in Aug. 2020 by the Cloud.... I have expected that this itinerary will be expensive, but it is about three times or more the price of other cruises on a per day basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tothesunset Posted September 17, 2018 #41 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Booked the Wind TA Barbados to Lisbon in spring 2020. Opted not to have the flights. 10 days in a Vista, £1046pp after Venetian discounts. Bargain of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opted not to have the flights. 10 days in a Vista, £1046pp after Venetian discounts. Bargain of the year. See above post. I had actually booked this myself in May, but was coming up at £2052 without any flights. Sounds like an error there? BTW...... I expect you will be even happier to learn, by booking the new one I have to Tower Bridge, I will be releasing 738. That should be happening tomorrow morning - though as I'm on the Wind for Lunch, I might request sorting every thing out on Wednesday morning..... I had actually got $120 x 2 on my booking too.... not sure how I got that....but will request it's transferred if possible!

MBP&O2/O Posted September 17, 2018 #44 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I requested a quote on one cruise and the reply was ... There is a reduction of GBP 500 per person for cruise only but no VS saving. However, you have an advantage as Venetian Society member. You are able to book 2 weeks before new guests are able to book 2020 voyages. This means, you will have the best price at the moment as we expect many bookings in the next two weeks and a price increase after this time period. I wonder how accurate the ‘expect a price increase’ comment is? Too rich for my blood [emoji22] Sent from the magic box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted September 17, 2018 #45 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Looked at the Easter Island to Papeete cruise on the Explorer in 2020 to make up for our cancelled cruise.however no Venetian discounts and the price is nearly the same as the cancelled cruise but on the were doing a Honolulu to Papeete sector as well. So long Silversea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in there next April but will try to get it for the following April, too. I shall ring on Wed but if we don't get it its not a tragedy as £100 per night in 437 will suit us fine!

les37b Posted September 18, 2018 #47 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I would advise to call ASAP to wait list yourself. He is about to release. I wouldn’t put it down to chance.... assuming you would want that is. Amazingly.. my wife just said she preferred to balcony room next door.... and it wasn’t the owners suite! Lol typical!

We've had a veranda on the Wind, are in 738 next April and OH thinks we should stick with 437 so that we've tried a Vista too. Women, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol The issue OH has, well, issues actually, is with potential noise from the lift and the pool surround. At £100 a night they can stick me under a table in the obs lounge and I'd be quite happy!
