Thanks for the review. It is very helpful. I love that. The ship is shown without a lot of commentary. It’s great that the detail is in the captions. we are considering this ship in the future and thank you for giving us such a good view of what it has to offer.
We travel on a 17 day cruise September 2023 Lisbon to Lisbon on the Nova sister to the Silver Ray and there are some very unusual features on this Silversea ship.I’ve been cruising since the 50s and have the following comments.There are many dinning options but the menu choice is similar in each restaurant and is not varied much .Silver-note is the usual Silversea tapas more like canopies than a meal .I found the food not up to the usual Silversea standard I’ve experienced for many years with them . Since the takeover by Royal Caribbean this is my first experience and noticed a big difference in the dining experience and general standard of service. The ship is a big departure from their other ships in the fleet but personally found it a bit large for the amount of passengers and a lot of empty spaces with repeated uninspiring decor throughout .Somehow I found it too much of a departure from the previous privately owned Italian company and certainly could feel and notice the influence of RCCI in the Silver Nova.Personally disappointing.Lacking in the more intimate atmosphere of the slightly smaller ships in their fleet .In general the food and service have deteriorated. I found the ship had some nice features but somewhat soulless.🎉
Cruising has never been the same since the Americans took over many cruise lines look how Cunard went from the most luxurious line to just another line and then there is P&O a top line gone to hell with Americans who have no idea of class or anything else except greed for money. For Americans who see this I am not talking about you I am talking about the cruise lines.
Agree! The food on the Silver Ray was very disappointing! The best thing going was the pizza! The rest was just blah!!! And yes the space was almost too large. Lots of areas just “blank” with nothing to make them more appealing!
Good question, easy answer: This was an inaugural cruise from Lissabon to Cadiz for professionals only. No vaccationers on board! Thanks for watching!

This was an inaugural cruise from Lissabon to Cadiz and back for travel professionals and media only. No "regular" passengers on board. That´s why the ship looks empty. Thanks for watching.
