Rare wine-wine-wine Posted November 28, 2021 #101 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Terrific pizza last night in Spaccanapoli accompanied by a lovely Italian red (sorry missed the name). Fantastic service. Very quiet as it was beginning to rain quite hard - just officers of the ship dining with us. Premium wifi has been much better than expected. That said I didn’t actually want very good internet connectivity. 🤣 My intention with my posts has been to provide as accurate of a reflection of our actual experience as possible, so that readers can know what to expect and plan accordingly. The experience, while occasionally uneven, has been overwhelmingly positive on Silver Moon. Silversea is only our second cruise line, having previously sailed several times on Crystal. We have enjoyed the experience thoroughly and will book a Silversea voyage again if the itinerary and timing are attractive to us. The only clause on that is that we will be reluctant to book on Moon and Dawn if we are voyaging to a destination where outside forward views would be important, such as in the Norwegian or Chilean fjords. That causes an inner conflict as we have so enjoyed Salt Kitchen. Likely to disengage at this point and relish the rest of this lovely, peaceful cruise. I didn’t come here to participate in disputation. Apologies to anyone I may have inadvertently offended. Bon voyage, everyone! 👋 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted November 28, 2021 Author #102 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks for your thoughtful insights @wine-wine-wine , your pizza looked excellent. We had the fegato in La Terrazza last night and it was again close to perfect. We hope to have an opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine with you again in the future.

fdnycruiser Posted November 28, 2021 #112 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Jazz duo at Silver Note is Alamein & Garth. They’re quite good. I usually stop in for a night cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that the restriction on access to the deck 12 forward viewing area was a decision of the captain (not corporate) and was based on various considerations such as sea swells, etc. Or there could be liability/insurance reasons. Other captains in calm waters (Panama Canal, Norwegian fjords) may open that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have another silversea cruise booked and we are not cancelling. We may have to bring our own bread however. Lol we love the suite. Our butler is one of the best I’ve had on any ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured my crystal friends would be more interested in my take on silversea than silversea devotees There has been considerable interest. Crystal only has 2 ocean vessels so most crystal devotees look for alternatives. IMO silversea is another option. I think it is a lot like seabourn with butlers and more dining options 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
