canderson Posted October 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just received our first 'cruise ticket' from Silversea, and in reading one of the latter pages, under "Enhanced Safety Drill", they say the following: "The safety drill's first phase must now be completed by viewing and acknowledging the safety drill video on the 'My Cruise' app or on your in-suite TV once you arrive aboard". What's this 'My Cruise App'? I know that RCCL and Celebrity have phone apps, but had never heard (nor can I find) such an app for Silversea. What's this about?

There actually is such a site out in the 'real world', but it has nothing to do with SS. I assume that when on ship's WiFi, they have a dns redirect that sends mycruise.com to an internal site aboard ship. Someone at Silversea needs to work on their use of language a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted October 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Hi, I just watch it on the tv......in my opinion, that is the easiest way to go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted October 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Don’t worry about it now. Once onboard on SS Wi-Fi just go to mycruise.com on your device and there it will all be. Or watch the TV, but I find it useful to have on my iPad to refer to when I’m around the ship. SS still does paper daily info, the Chronicles, but everything and more is on mycruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyjones Posted October 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 27, 2023 As I said, everything and more is on mycruise including menus. And bios of officers and lecturers etc And booking possibilities for restaurants, spa, future cruise person etc And ports info and excursion booking. And your account and expenses. And other stuff, I can’t remember it all. The Chronicles is only a four sided roundup of basic info, with an insert making it six sided on port days, designed so you can take the insert ashore with you, it has the port and port agent info on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly. It isn't an "app" per se and it only works when connected to the ship's WiFi. 6 hours ago, canderson said: Do they include menus? Yes, and you can check your reservations there as well. It works fairly well. Once you figure out that a VPN on your device will block the redirect and render the entire thing useless, without telling you what the problem is... When I remember to turn off my VPN it works well. And I could take screenshots of all the menus for posterity; that worked much better than taking pictures of the actual menus in dim light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RELS Posted June 30 #11 Share Posted June 30 Is it in fact an app to install on phone and/or tablet? Or is it only a website available once on board? If an installable app, can one install it before boarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare gnome12 Posted June 30 #14 Share Posted June 30 Just now, RELS said: Yes, but what is it? I think it is just a website, but I’m not certain. There was a QR code involved. I don’t believe you can do anything to get it before you board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted June 30 #15 Share Posted June 30 28 minutes ago, RELS said: Yes, but what is it? It's a website that is only accessible when you are connected to the ship's WiFi. It worked great for me on board Silver Cloud earlier this month. Was good to have the day's restaurant menus available to browse on your phone. Also all the menus that I posted in my last TR were screenshots from there It is NOT an app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Port Power Posted June 30 #17 Share Posted June 30 31 minutes ago, RELS said: Yes, but what is it? See post #5. Once on board a ship and connected to WiFi, you can view the daily program, lectures, restaurant hours, menus, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
