That tandem at the end is a dream come true, like having an included whale watching experience when all you paid for was snorkel diving in the excursion you booked (based on a true story). I hope they don't do away completely with symmetrical design, but I imagine it'd be pretty cool and unique to experience the Caribbean - or anywhere else, for that matter - aboard a ship as whimsical as this. I WANT to go on that hike in Spanish Town! I've never been in a semi-cave like that before...or any other enclosed rock formation, for that matter.

[@visitwithus]

Thank you for watching and commenting 😊❤️

[@faithmoore7520]

that cave did not appear too comfortable.

I'm an American you guys are now officially my favorite British couple you guys are great It looked like you had such a good time God bless and keep the video is coming thanks

[@visitwithus]

Aww, thank you. You’re now our favourite American 😆😍 Thanks for watching and commenting

[@ricindap6920]

Great video as usual. The Nova looks pretty spectacular.

[@visitwithus]

Thank you for watching. She IS spectacular!

[@NathanD328i]

That is such a beautiful ship! Thank you for sharing the wonderful video!

[@visitwithus]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@cherieroberts3502]

We are SS cruisers and this is the best Nova video I’ve seen! Thank you 😎

[@visitwithus]

Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate it! ❤

[@chriswilliams6568]

I know you must enjoy the sea activities, as the warmer climate is not on all cruises, but we always like to see the destinations. After we have spent money for the cruise, which does involve massive sacrifices at home, we like to make the most of the destinations. The cruise looks amazing. If only we could partake, but I feel lucky to go on Princess occasionally. Thx.

[@StemtoStern]

Another fabulous video from the masterful Rich and Helen.

[@visitwithus]

@@StemtoStern You’re too kind. Thank you. 😊

[@PJprog]

Hugely entertaining and informative video of Silver Nova Rich and Helen... this has to be your BEST one ever !!! Your favourite restaurant on board ?? The ship looks so classy and we're counting the weeks to sail on her. ( from Hong Kong to Tokyo ) Once again , many thanks for encouraging us to get onboard. ⛴️👍👍

[@visitwithus]

Thank you, that’s so kind 😊 Hope you have a fabulous cruise. Silver Note and SALT Kitchen for dinner, Kaiseki for lunch 👍

[@FraserAtSea]

What a beautiful video - absolutely loved this. My 2 take-aways here were that I couldn't believe the lack of any padding on your balcony seats - I'd have thought for the level of luxury Silversea are pitching at, you'd have a comfier option out there. Also, I had to laugh when P&O were directly opposite you - it's never struck me quite how different the experiences must be on these ships - the small ship passengers must hate sitting beside that all day, haha!

[@visitwithus]

Thanks for watching Fraser! Yes, the balcony seating was a disappointment, seeing as all the other areas of the ship were incredibly comfy. Also, it didn't come over on the video too well but Arvia was making a deafening noise. The DJ was proper going for it - full Ibiza Mode! It was so funny! 😂

[@FraserAtSea]

@@visitwithus Ha, don't worry - I got a feel for that - I'm surprised the locals haven't kicked off at that yet, haha!

[@TravellingDT]

Loved this video and how you styled it. One of the best ones yet. Thank you!!

[@visitwithus]

Yay! Thank you, that’s so kind 😊

[@ZoeWhitehouse-d1l]

Oh my goodness, this is gonna be our next cruise! We absolutely love Silver Spirit and we have another med cruise booked on her next year, only our second cruise so we are newbies. I have to confess I really wasn’t at all keen on the newer style Silversea ships but now that I’ve watched your video, I think we kinda really love it!❤. Great video, just makes me want to book immediately. Thank you guys, so informative as always, you add a bit of cheekiness and fun in the mix but so helpful and in-depth too. Love your videos, keep it up! I am now in the process of persuading hubby to get that cheque book out again and I have a very good feeling it will be on Nova 😂

[@visitwithus]

Haha, thank you ☺️ Hope you have a great cruise and have fun planning more to come 👍

[@eminiarvii]

Very nice video…I thoroughly enjoyed this ultra luxury cruise diary…..That S.A.L.T class is what i would like…Thx Rich and Helen🚢🙂

[@visitwithus]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and your kind comment 😊

[@christinethys7977]

Another fantastic video.. Loved getting a look at your excursions

[@visitwithus]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and for your kind comments 😊

[@norfolkboy6935]

Your underwater footage was stunning, second only to the look and feel of the ship. It looks well suited to warm itineraries. Would love to experience it first hand. 🙏

[@visitwithus]

Glad you enjoyed it, and yes it felt made for the Caribbean 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@joybader4035]

Wonderful video. Beautiful ship ! Thanks for sharing, enjoying ur videos !!

[@visitwithus]

Glad you like them. Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 😊

[@jenniferalbert910]

A great feast for the eyes!

[@visitwithus]

Thank you! You really can't beat the Caribbean when it comes to cruising! :D

[@lawrence2087]

Your vids are exceptional. This ship certainly whetted my appetite. Cheers!

[@visitwithus]

Thank you sir! :D

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Rich and Helen. Silver Nova is a gorgeous ship. Yes, she is a bit quirky, but lovely none the less. And your grand encounter with "Let's Throw Everything at it Of the Seas," The "Ascent" and the "Nova." 3 very different ships. If you can afford it, mass market insanity, Icon is your choice, If you want to step up your game, you then hit the "Ascent," and if your coffers overflow, then "Silver Nova and now Silver Ray, are at the top of the list, yes ?? It's good that you got to see the Far Eastern Caribbean, before Beryl Decimated the islands down in Grenada and the other islands close by.

[@visitwithus]

Indeed, we were so sad to see St Vincent and the Grenadines hit so hard as those are swim if our favourite islands in the Caribbean 😢 Thanks for watching 😊

[@susanmoore9391]

Another great vlog, thank you both. I am enjoying the Silversea and the Caribbean vicariously through your KZbin vlog 🥂❤️☀️

[@visitwithus]

Thank you ☺️

[@bartmoreton1973]

Fabulous video. Wife and I loved it. ❤

[@visitwithus]

Thanks so much 😊

[@BrummieNik]

As always, another great video. Some fabulous sunset views. Must get one of those cocktail bubble machines. Not for cocktails, of course, the grandkids love bubble machines in the garden and that one looks a class above the Poundland one I use 😅

[@visitwithus]

😂 Thanks for watching and your kind (and funny) comment 😊

[@CruiseandTravelBP]

Beautiful video . Well done!

[@visitwithus]

@@CruiseandTravelBP Thanks Bill! 😊

Sister ship in the Med this fall. Back to back cruises. Great videos. Thank you. 🛳️

[@visitwithus]

Oooh, we'd love to try Silver Ray! :D

Outstanding video!

Thank you very much 😊

[@lizdyson3627]

Hi guys Brilliant video.

[@visitwithus]

Thank you Liz 👍

[@sheilaUK]

great vlog, thank you! When I was in St John’s last March with Saga, there was the same loud music and DJ calls coming from a venue ashore near the dock.. wondered if yours may have been the same place.

[@visitwithus]

Thank you for watching 😊 The music was definitely coming from P&O Arvia and not shoreside. It wasn’t so loud from the top deck of our ship but was really loud on our balcony 😆

[@yvescrepeau5955]

Hi guys, Ive never been on Silverseas but might in 2025 and will probably try explora also

[@visitwithus]

Two amazing cruise lines - hope you get to try them both 🤞 Thanks for watching 😊

[@_echobravo]

Rich, did you begin singing ‘Big Boulders’ to the tune of a certain Spinal Tap song? 😅

[@visitwithus]

😂 These things just slip out! That's the trouble when your head is full of stupid movies. I absolutely LOVE Spinal Tap. 😆

[@_echobravo]

I’ll break into a random David St. Hubbins tune from time to time too (cue eye roll from my wife) 😉

[@visitwithus]

@@_echobravo Haha! I hope you notice in an upcoming video (maybe released this weekend) I have given ELEVEN reasons to do a river cruise. It was deliberate. I almost said in the intro narrative 'You may have seen these sort of top ten videos, but this one goes up to eleven.' but I didn't think anyone would get the reference. 😂

[@_echobravo]

LOL… Your channel’s always been a 10, but yes you’ve achieved 11 status 😂

[@visitwithus]

@@_echobravo I try and make sure EVERY video goes up to 11! 😂

[@faithmoore7520]

That cave seemed to be a real work out! would you do it again? it did not appear very fun!

[@visitwithus]

It wasn’t that hard, we were possible a little underprepared (should have watched some KZbin videos before we went 😆). We would definitely do it again, it just would have been nice if it was less crowded ☺️ Thanks for watching 👍

[@brucegordon4992]

Another professional and intriguing video - thanks. Maybe it is just me - I seem to have a vague memory of a ship from a few decades back that held a bit less than 700 passengers that seemed to garner some fame on television. I am not sure if there is a perfect size for a ship however if there is, for me at least, it would not be 5000 or 7000 folks.

[@visitwithus]

Well, we think anything sub 1000 guests is pretty much optimal for us. Love these 'smaller' ships. ❤

[@chriswilliams6568]

Yes we would like a smaller ship, but they are sooooo much more money, we can’t.

[@visitwithus]

Have you tried Azamara? They are about 700 passengers and sometimes have some very good deals, especially on their inside and ocean view rooms. We would thoroughly recommend them ❤️

[@chriswilliams6568]

@@visitwithus thank you, a good tip. I have often checked them, but have never found a good price for an itinerary and date that I wanted. Right now I can’t go anywhere as waiting for a hip replacement. Had to cancel this past June’s long awaited 16 day Norway cruise on Princess from Southampton due to my pain. It was the 4 th year we had had it booked but what with Covid and other reasons had to cancel. But this was the first time we lost money as it was after full payment date. Lost quite a lot, but we knew that and insurance won’t pay out as it is a pre-existing condition. Here in Canada deposits are often refunded by the large cruise lines if one cancels before final payment date. I hear that is not the case in the UK?

[@TheXTed]

Great post guys ❤ For future reference, Dominica is pronounced DOM IN EE KA 😉

[@visitwithus]

Thanks for that, and thanks for watching 👍😊

[@chriswilliams6568]

Sorry Richard we cannot book thru your travel agent as we live in Canada. Did you know that most cruise lines do not allow a person or agent to book outside their own country. Thx for lovely video. We were talking about your unpadded patio chairs and thought if cushions were an extra thing, not joined onto the chair, they could blow away. But if they were part of the chair then the rain could get on them. So it is a problem.

[@visitwithus]

Depending on where in Canada you are you may be able to book through Panache. Please reach out to them and ask them if you’re interested. Thank you.

[@John-wx2ce]

Great Video! All things being equal, would you recommend the Nova Class or one of the older class of Silversea Ships?

[@visitwithus]

Such a hard question to answer. We have a very soft spot for the Muse class of ships and think they’re probably still our favourite design, but there’s lots to love about the Nova class too 😍 We would do either in all honesty. Thanks for watching 😊

[@Walkwithlahiru]

Wow beautiful video thanks 🫡❤️❤️❤️

[@visitwithus]

@@Walkwithlahiru Thank you for watching (it’s a looong one) 😂😊

[@N1ftyNick]

So Rich, What isn't included? Thanks

[@visitwithus]

Certain dining is not included, Kaiseki in the evening, Chefs Table, La Dame. Our dining guide goes into more detail. 🙂

[@randyv8232]

Mom and Dad left me again.

[@visitwithus]

😂😂😂

[@chriswilliams6568]

You would have been better off to have a backpack and for Helen to have that or a crossbody bag, then you would have your hands free at the Boulder Beach. I would not be interested in that area. So did you pay for that? Thx for the lovely video.

[@visitwithus]

Thank you Chris. The taxi to get to Boulders Beach was $5 each from where the tender dropped us and it was a few dollars each for the entrance to Boulders beach (sorry, can’t remember the exact price).

[@theapprentice2298]

The balcony furniture looks poor, very dissapointing at this price bracket!

[@visitwithus]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@rexbourne7635]

Who is paying for all your expensive cruises?

[@visitwithus]

You’ll find all the information you require if you read the description of the video. We fully disclose when a voyage has been comped. But for TLDR: we never get PAID to go on voyages. 🙂
