May I identify a needed correction to your latest entry: You have mis-labelled the Silver Suite and Signature Suite. 7095 is the Signature and 6020 is the Silver. You have them the other way around 🙂 Thanks, I change it. I have it correct in my Insta Reels. steamboats Edited August 25, 2023 by steamboats 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted August 26, 2023 #177 Share Posted August 26, 2023 A new entry... Day 1 - not too many photos but some of The Marquee Lunch and Atlantide Dinner and cocktails in the S.A.L.T. Bar. Tomorrow will be sort of an overkill of photos with a S.A.L.T. tour, a even more extense behind the scenes tour and Chef´s Table at the S.A.L.T. Lab. I´m still working on the dinner photos. steamboats 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that it offers premium Champagne by the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JSR Posted August 26, 2023 #180 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Nova - help please I have some questions if you’re onboard or were onboard 1) is there a pool lift/chair for a disabled person to use to get in the pool. It is usually a round tube anchored in concrete with a chair on it and a controller. 2) same question as above for the hot tub (s) 3) do the doors from the interior public spaces to the exterior spaces open automatically? If not is there a button to easily push to have them open? 4) are the public toilets/restrooms wheelchair accessible? Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help My answers: 1/2 - there is nothing obviously visible neither at the pool nor at the Cliff Whirlpool. But there is something (not that chair type, but it looks like you have to hang on) at the indoor pool in the spa area. Check my photos on here (for the spa it´s the last one of the indoor pool). 3/4 all doors to public restrooms or the outside areas either open automatically or have those new touchless bottoms where you just have to wave. Doors to the public restrooms did open automatically when you "touch" those buttons. There are also designated wheelchair accessible public bathrooms. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Veranda Cabin, the bathroom has a low light around the mirror that works for us as a night light with bathroom door closed. No clock in the room and the wake up called did miss calling us a couple of times so I also set my phone alarm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely understand why you prefer being a cruise influencer instead of a lawyer ! 🙂 Though I was inclined to give Nova a try, it is your detailed blog with photos that pushed me over the edge to book, and I am truly looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted August 27, 2023 #186 Share Posted August 27, 2023 @Catlover54 law is still my main profession. And I wouldn´t call myself influencer (I don´t earn any money with my reviews). I just want to give information. I have the privilege to see and cruise with new ships as my DH is a cruise journalist. steamboats 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless someone works less than half-time as a lawyer in the U.S., or has a very sweet deal through family or other connections , they simply would not have nearly enough time to do all the cruises you have so beautifully posted about over the years, and on so many lines, with behind the scenes access ("full-time" lawyers here often work very, very long hours, unless they work for government :). So I incorrectly assumed you had given up practicing law. But of course work hours are likely different in Germany (the only two I know there work very long hours, but they are very gung ho Type A personalities who barely have time for a coffee break, much less a cruise). I apologize, I didn't mean to electronically demote you from practicing attorney to cruise influencer (not that there would be anything wrong with being a cruise influencer if you were one, and I still thank you, though without providing revenue, for having 'influenced' me in any event) 🙂. Your husband's being a cruise journalist certainly explains a lot. I look forward to more of your pictures and thorough reports, both here and on future SS and other cruises. BTW you have also helped me with sound and accurate commentary about Hapag Lloyd, especially during Covid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted August 28, 2023 #188 Share Posted August 28, 2023 @Catlover54 it helps to have 30 days of vacation per year (which is the norm in Germany - so a total of 6 weeks as only the weekdays count). Todays entry is Trieste where we did explore the city on our own. In the afternoon we had a cooking class at the S.A.L.T. Lab. steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted August 29, 2023 #196 Share Posted August 29, 2023 So unfortunately there´s a day coming when you have to disembark. But fortunately we have another night in Venice to explore the city. So here´s day 1 on Venice and Burano. steamboats 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian cruiser1 Posted August 29, 2023 #197 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Can I just ask - did you board the ship in Fusina ? If so - how did Silversea arrange that - where was the check-in, luggage drop-off etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the answer to 1/2 is yes. thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had cats sitting on many of the famous sites of Italy. I very much enjoyed having it up on my wall at my office. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
