[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

Great, glad you enjoyed. I'll be on over Xmas and am excited to do a follow up to see what has changed. Make sure to report back and let me know what you think!

[@kimberleyedward5593]

Excellent!! I loved how you focused on the Restaurants first!

[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

Food isn't the most important; but it's up there with oxygen as far as I am concerned :)

[@Kerri6024]

I can only dream :-( but this was lovely to see, thank you

[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

We got these tickets using points. We got one way tickets for 80,000 American Airlines points and about $15.00!

This is a really good rundown thanks. Staff to guest ratio here seems amazing. Been really curious about Explora Journeys as well it seems like a similar level of experience to this.

[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

Staff to guest is really great, almost 1:1. Seabourn is a close second, but I was on their Ovation ships so a generation different. Explora is supposed to be a great line too. I think their ship are a bit bigger and a bit more glitzy in a showy kind of way. That's just what I've garnered so please report back if you go!

I travel on Silver sea for one month in 2018, We have wonderful experience and the food are very delicious from breakfast to dinner oooh. LOVE it especially dinner with Captain. ❤

[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

I am glad you had such a great experience. We will be on the Nova at the end of the year and are looking forward to sharing a 6mo follow up; be sure to check back!

I traveled on the Silver Nova for 17 day’s last September 2023 as a fare paying passenger and two things I noticed the most , the ship was two big for what’s inside her , lacking in that personal club private yacht atmosphere. It’s monotonous decor which lacked in originality and far worse is how the food quality and menu choice has deteriorated as the selection and service which has become far worse than our previous trips on Silversea over the last 17 years . Royal Caribbean in its early days with few ships was a extremely good cruise line with good food and excellent entertainment .I haven’t traveled on RCCL for many years but from what I gather the influence of this now massive cruise company has creeped into Silversea which I expected. Disappointing.We have done over ninety cruise and traveled on all the luxury lines.We like modern clothes and decor so we are not old mentality fuddy duddies.

[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience! I don't have 17 years of experience with Silversea so I can't comment on their trends over time. Many luxury brands offer ambassador programs for frequent or loyal guests. Have you considered contacting them directly? In my past experience working for a luxury hospitality company, we took guest feedback very seriously. We believed in consistent excellence and strived to address any shortcomings. I'm confident Silversea would appreciate your input. On a brighter note, I'd love to hear about any future cruises you recommend!

[@howardhdavidson]

@@TheArtofTheCraft4KNobody was more disappointed than me .Really surprised how it had deteriorated.A lot of obvious pretence and lacking in quality and taste of food .I can’t be bothered to complain unfortunately I had to do enough of that on the ship with little reaction,which is really unusual compared to some of our amazing experiences on previous cruises where nothing was too much trouble.The cigar lounge was the best part of the ship.Silver-note is a good idea but the food was more akin to canapés served with a drink at a function.A joke .Anyway you’ve made it sound like it should be but isn’t.

“This ship epitomizes everything for the younger generation” Rewatched the video, so I saw it twice. You have to be getting paid, because no, a jazz focused cruise is definitely not the millennial vibe. The millennial vibe is party, light competition, and technology. Silversea is still amazing, but millennials are NOT the target audience for this line, or this ship. Give it another decade

[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

I wish they were paying me :) I am not sure Silversea even knows who I am. You're probably right about millennials not being the majority of cruisers yet, but I definitely see cruise lines trying to change that. There are some really cool options out there that would appeal to my generation, although there's always room for improvement.

[@johndefalque5061]

Breathtakingly beautiful and modern ship but I hear there are 3 places people smoke on bord and the smoke leaks out. I would never set foot on the ass end of the ship- if it stinks! That's one nauseating way to kill luxury! There should be a Tropic of Cancer line that's exclusively smoking taking passengers on a tour of every pot and tobacco plantation to get them off of lines I want to take.

[@TheArtofTheCraft4K]

It was a lovely ship for sure. The only smoking I noticed was in the cigar lounge but I am sure there are some limited outdoor places too. It never interfered with our cruise but can absolutely understand why this could be of concern if you've had a bad experience.

[@usherfineart]

Great video of one of the most beautiful ships I've seen. It is so well done. I have a few private questions for you, but I can't find any way to DM you. How can I contact you? Or I can give you my email if that is better
