I ate too much on a Regent cruise. I drank too much on a Silversea cruise. 😊 (22 different types of Gin on the Silver Moon sampled on a sixteen day cruise. I am certain there was another 22 gins, at least, that could also be tried.)

I didn’t try too many different types of alcohol, just too many Manhattans!! You can tell from my voice in the opening that I was feeling the effects!

Glad to see you back on a ship! (We did love the Africa series FWIW). Silver Ray is beautiful but it's shocking that Silverseas has Kaiseki as an extra charge. S.A.L.T. sure, but an Asian fusion venue? Looking forward to future videos!

@@DJTravels Same here, about all I can afford on Viking Ocean is a transatlantic. We like Holland America the best, where Viking River and Windstar clearly go to places that they can't. We tried to give Azamara our business this year, but I learned the hard way that they've got a bad reputation with money for a reason.

Bravo! You two do the very best ship suite videos in this creative space. You are obviously affluent to be able to afford this suite, but not an ounce of pretension. Just like a video by your two favorite neighbors. Love the fact that you actually show the suite-you do not try to sell the suite. You create the most authentic videos by far. Thank you for your efforts. Happy travels!

We havent been on Royal Carribean since 2010, so I don't remember much. The only comparison I can make is that the variety on RC would be much higher. The food on Silverseas is decent, but none of the upcharge restaurants are worth the extra money. Very good pizza and sushi onboard at no extra cost, but everything else is hit or miss. Come back later and we will review each dining venue during our cruise!

@@DJTravels Oh I see. We been on 3 royal carribean ships and my wife wants to check out the new Disney Treasure ship so I'm looking at booking in 2026. Royals food was good but it got redundant. I wonder if celebrity's food is any better. That sucks that Silverseas food wasn't amazing. They are suppose to be a upper tiered experience.

We thoroughly enjoy your travel VLOGs. Thank you for this latest adventure. Regarding SS, your video confirmed why we were supremely disappointed with SS. No sail away festivities on deck, a very plain and pedestrian breakfast buffet with no specials, up-charging for specialty restaurants (and SS's weren't very good)... In the premium cruise class, SS in our opinion doesn't come even close to Seabourn (our preferred choice) or Regent. We believe Ritz is in a separate premium class more akin to Sea Dream. But we're open minded to your next SS VLOGs to change that low opinion of SS.

@@DJTravels Thank you for your reply. You do an amazing job pre-planning. It makes your VLOGs all the more interesting. The editing, sound and images are excellent. Regarding Panama Canal, that is one of our favorite cruise itineraries. Did it on Seabourn and Regent. Cruise lines pay extra for early AM entry so you have all day with sunlight to see it. The ships hired a local expert who gave historical and interesting facts thru the entire passage. On the Pacific side is the 'Interpretive Center' for the canal with bleachers to watch ships traverse. We found it worthwhile to visit. Looking forward to your Panama Canal VLOG. Safe travels...
