wren2 Posted January 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I had been planning to book a May cruise and was really upset to learn that my VS 10% discount, earned through cruising with Silversea over 250 days, is not allowed. Needless to say, I shall not be booking. Why punish me for being a loyal passenger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gourmet Gal Posted January 13, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2022 If the Door to Door pricing includes air…I would say not. Having been a proponent of SS air in the past on my upcoming cruise the flight choices and routings were so bad I booked on my own even at significantly more cost. It seems with this new pricing scheme a whole new level of complication has been introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FauxNom Posted January 13, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2022 They also don't allow the full 5% for onboard booking, I've recently read. These P2P fares might be a catchy way to put certain cruises on "clearance," but it seems really shortsighted not to allow these discounts that many of us factor into our cruise selections.

I am afraid that you are wrong, I have just booked a 29 day cruise, 2 voyages, and received my normal 10% VSS discount and a further 5% VS discount for one of the voyages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2D pricing still allows our discounts, it’s the P2P that doesn’t. I just got some quotes for a future cruise and the cancellation dates for P2P pricing are jaw dropping - getting close to being non-refundable in practical terms.

wren2 Posted January 13, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted January 13, 2022 In reply to Beaujolais, I made no mistake. My TA checked with London office and the 10% VS discount is not applied to the back to back prices but is applied to the door to door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct "wren2", my booking is a Door to Door booking I also, would not consider booking with Silversea if they would not allow my 10% VS discount if I had chosen P2P pricing Edited January 14, 2022 by beaujolais edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wren2 Posted January 14, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Sorry Beaujolais, the VS 10% is not applied on port to port. Back to back was my typo. Still annoyed with Silversea for disallowing this hard earned discount for loyal travellers on the lower fare. Such a pity as I had been looking forward to new Black Sea ports on the May cruise. However, on the bright side, perhaps in view of the prevailing situation in that region, Silversea have done me a favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosepark Posted January 14, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I think you can still get an flight allowance in some instances if you take Door to Door and do your own flights, this may still allow the VS discount to be used. RP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les37b Posted January 14, 2022 #15 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Port to port also doesn't give you a low cancellation fee that can be used on another booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
