exlondoner Posted May 16, 2020 #26 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Out of interest, have people noticed any difference in stability? I have found all the Cunard ships impressively stable in bad weather. Are the SS ships less so, as they are smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted May 17, 2020 #27 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The QM2 is incredibly stable. The QV and the QE rode like typical ships of their size. If Silverseas in like Seabourn, you do get a lot more motion. I don’t mind it but others might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of clarification. For most US bookings, there is a (continual) promotion offering the beverage package. However, it is not specifically included without the promo. Last year, we booked a QG suite within 90 days of sailing and there were no extras. (But it was a great fare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skleeb Posted June 5, 2020 Author #29 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Original poster here. So, guess what? I'm going to try both! Next year. March transatlantic on SS, Ft.Lauderdale to Lisbon, than a QM2 tandem(back to back) in October NYC to Southampton and back. Oh, boy, looking forward to comparing and enjoying both! Can you tell I love seadays???? 😆 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do tend to sail on Cunard, and have been reluctant to try anything else in recent years, but the opportunity arose to try Silversea in November, and so IF we actually sail it is interesting to learn about the differences. I must say I am pleased about the truly all inclusive aspects of Silversea, but I do think I will miss afternoon tea in the Queens Room, and the guest choir. Maybe they will serve Milky Way Martinis in the equivalent of the Commodore Club if there is a similar venue on the Silver Wind. We have been on many lines inc Cunard and Silversea, Seabourn Oceania,Azamara ......for us our favourite by far is Regent nothing Cunard or Silversea offers touches Regent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloaked Posted June 22, 2020 #31 Share Posted June 22, 2020 One factor that makes it difficult for us in trying Silversea is that as far as I know SS has no ballroom dancing - and if that is a key part of being on a cruise that becomes the make or break deciding factor!
