On February 15, 2024, my wife and I booked a 32 day door-to-door cruise ( 11/18/24 - 12/20/24 / Cairns, Australia to Auckland, NZ) on the Silver Nova. For the next 11+ weeks our dealings with SiverSea’s transportation department were very difficult to the point of exhaustion. Having been presented with one abysmal flight itinerary after another, we canceled the trip a couple days ago. One would think that when offering a “door-to-door“ travel experience, they would be prepared to define that experience before the reservation is made. Their claim that a client must book a reservation before they can advise on the specifics of air travel is eerily similar to a “pay-to-play” scheme that one would not expect from a “high-end” operation. The $250/person “administrative fee” they charged us when we canceled was just sad. We have spoken with others who had similar experiences with SilverSea.

The ship is so unique in its asymmetric layout. This will definitely be a staple in maritime history in decades to come. I'm all for it. The lido looks spacious and I love the stairs making its way into the water. Some change is bad, but some change is good, and this is good change! I mean, think of the P&O ships like Oriana and Canberra of the '60s and '70s. This gives me similar, of-our-time vibes.

@visitwithus 3 месяца назад

Yes, there were a few things we missed from the Muse class of ship but generally we loved the new asymmetric design 😍 Thanks for watching.

We travel on a 17 day cruise September 2023 Lisbon to Lisbon on the Nova 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.

That's a fantastic video again... looks absolutely beautiful and I trust you had the best time too. We've a deluxe veranda booked as well , with a bath tub.... the bath experience no less !!? They do look to be a decent size the staterooms. And incidentally we were wondering how easy/difficult securing restaurant bookings was , particularly Silvernote ( by looking at the size of the space and amount of tables ) , once again many thanks , looking forward to the upcoming videos....Peter and Julie.

@visitwithus 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Yes we were missing the bath because you can't get the full Otium bathing experience without one! :D Silver Note was the only one we had a few challenges getting into. We were on a waiting list but what we did was turn up at 7pm on any given day and check for cancellations. That's how we got in. Not ideal, but well worth checking nightly because the dining was (as always in Silver note) an entertaining and delicious experience.

@jakehallahan6463 3 месяца назад

@pjprog - I had no trouble securing a Silver Note reservation done right at the 120 day mark when restaurant reservations open. Tip: Silversea says restaurant reservations open at 120 days before departure, but ours actually opened at 121 (not sure if they’re on Europe time, but I’m in the US and was reserving for a June Alaska sailing), so I was able to easily get every dinner reservation our group desired, and at ideal times! Hope this helps.

@visitwithus 3 месяца назад

In all honesty we think they have overpriced La Dame on Silver Nova and this was reflected in how quiet it was when we dined there. They still had single hosts who are aged meet ups and could arrange for shared tables etc but not sure how this would work in La Dame 🤔

Overall what is the best high end cruise line you've experienced? Viking, silver sea, something else???

@visitwithus 3 месяца назад

That's a tough one to call as the top three (or four) are all within a hair of each other. Each one would depend on your specific reference to the small differences. I'd confidently say the top four were Silversea, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn and Explora Journeys. They all excel but small differences make them a favourite for different reasons. :)

Also, the modern elevators, art work, so many areas facing the ocean & tiered deck, pool, shaded area, & pool bar look very nice! Love that the pool is on the side. Do the outdoor lounges have retractable roofs? Like deck 11. Doesn’t Silver Nova have a more relaxed dress code?

No retractable roof I’m afraid - which obviously might make for a different experience in a colder climate. Silversea have updated their dress code recently with formal being optional but we still found most people dressed quite smartly in the evenings (which we quite liked)
