We haven’t stayed in that particular suite, but we stayed i. 1115 & 1129 and loved it up there. It was like being on a private ship. The location by the Observation bar was great,as was the deck seating area outside.

Just wondering what the opinions of Colonel Wes are on this. Although, I don’t read every thread, I haven’t seen him on here for awhile. Anyone know where he is, or how he’s doing.

Well said, Ronrick !

The Silver Nova is powered by LNG, thus no black soot! Definitely very pleasant without it. Sorry to hear about the rain, hopefully it’s finished for the remainder of the cruise. Enjoy the rest of your cruise,and thanks for the updates.

Is that by choice, or have you been banished ? I can remember being a “ little “ rowdy in 1970.

Put a bar in, and make it three birds, one stone! 😱

Since we departed the cruise in Rome,we continue to enjoy your objective and informative posts. Most of our experiences were similar to yours. We had exceptionally good weather while in Rome, and got home late last night. This was an exceptionally nice and memorable cruise. We booked the westbound TA on Allura for next year. The cruise consultant mentioned that many on board, also have booked it. The food was exceptional, and DW didn’t get swollen ankles from too much salt in the preparation. I mention this because on our last 3 Silversea cruises it’s been a problem. The food IMO is much better on Oceania. Hope that you continue to have a great cruise ! We’re jealous! 😂

Left a $1000 deposit on Vista for a cruise. Received 20,000 AMEX points on platinum card.

Cruise withdrawal is a very tough thing to go through. Still in Rome, but cruise withdrawal has creeped in.

That pork chop was definitely delicious the other night . I’m not usually a pork chop fan, but that was delicious.

Am currently on the Oceania Vista on a TA from Miami to Rome. After several SS including the Nova last November, the food is much better on the Oceania. The MDR is speoand can accommodate a large number . Rooms are smaller of course, but service has been quite good. We’ll be back on the SS in March for Capetown to Doha. We still book our cruises by intinerary and pricing, but will be looking more closely at Oceania in the future, especially the R class ships. As beautiful as Vista is,still not used to 1200 on a ship, although it hasn’t overly crowded

You’re definitely a long way from Red Hook Flatbush Flyer. I worked in the Firehouse on Smith & Lorraine St, ( ladder 131) in the early 80’s . Good times with the Happy Hookers

Well done critiques Hank, and agree 100% . DW, now wishes she had chosen the scallops last night, but we did have the prime rib. The Philly cheesesteak at Waves was a pleasant surprise. Enjoying the cruise,and the sea days. Well, except for the time changes. Definitely worse things in life

Jack& Deb, although Jack made it clear in 5 easy pieces how he wanted his whole wheat toast, I wasn’t referring to that. In the Last Detail, a meek & timid Randy Quaid wanted the cheese on his cheeseburger melted. It doesn’t come melted and Quaid says, it’s okay. Jack says it isn’t ok, sends and back, and says, “ just as easy to have it the way you want it.

Don’t really see the problem of ordering drinks first,and having the waiter wait to take your order. Politely let the waiter know they you’ll let him know when you’re ready to order. As Jack Nicholson said in a classic old movie, “ The Last Detail” . Just as easy to have it the way you want it.
