Standard speed is $19.95 a day and I think the high speed is $7.95 a day extra

Interesting. Thanks for this - seems not even shown on their own website yet…!

Thanks so much! One last question. Are they Samsung TVs on Journey? Seems like might be a lot of work and definitely don’t want to damage the TV so maybe we just call it quits but just curious. Thanks again for your help. 
 

Great question. We’d appreciate to know too as we have a 16 night trip on the Journey coming up soon with few ports day and want to be able to connect/stream from our laptops 😉

Does the Journey have Samsung TVs?

Is there a standard speed and a premium speed package or has that all been harmonized since Starlink?

Under the Add ons list I have various amounts of ‘Coupons’ showing titled either OBC or onboard credit with a ‘price’ of zero.  [...]

 

I later ‘booked’ the zero cost OBC coupons and they have gone onto my booking list on the website.

We have the same issue/situation here - did you conclude on what happens to that OBC that you booked at zero cost? Is that now valid?

Just following up after our stay in 938 to help others in the future:

1) floor to ceiling windows were super nice. Very right rooms especially for colder destinations

2) location versus pool and panorama lounge and other venues was great

3) contrary to above, noise from pool deck was terrible. You could hear people walking all day everyday and the deck chairs scraping sometimes before 07:00 am. The first night we woke up at 4:30 am. It’s because Silversea cheaped out on the deck not investing in teak which is why the deck chairs and smokers area above the cabin furniture makes extra noise. 
4) noise from adjoining cabin was okay but present. When they are in room dining before us it was clear to hear the cutlery on plates for example. 
5) room definitely smaller than veranda rooms, noticeable namely on the couch plus amount of storage space under the desk/mirror.

Hope that helps others decide what to book!

Hi,

We were in 939 on the Dawn from 31st May until 14th June. We loved the big picture windows and the suite felt quite spacious- probably not dissimilar to the Vista suites we’re used to but with MUCH bigger windows. The connecting door didn’t bother us at all but there was no-one in tbe Silver Suite next door. There WAS a bit of scraping of chairs on the deck above in the early morning but it didn’t overly trouble us. The suite was very convenient for accessing the swimming pool and for grabbing a coffee from Arts cafe in the morning before breakfast. We would definitely have that cabin again and did view it as an upgrade from our Vista guarantee.

Awesome thank you, very helpful...!

I was surprised to find our room had been allocated 2 weeks ago for a cruise in Dec 2023! 

 

Nice...! What did you book and what did you get?

Good morning, I stayed in a Panorama on the Muse in the summer of 2021 to Alaska. I don't remember having any issues.  As to your question about why there are so few reviews? I think many folks just don't write reviews (just my opinion). I mean some do but overall, if you look at this way, most SS roll calls are VERY quiet as well. Just the nature of the beast. 

Fair 🙂 Maybe its just because on Youtube i've never seen one. How did you find the cabin on the Muse? Thanks in advance!

Apologies - I had been on a vista suite on another ship, but see that there are just a few, mostly accessible, on deck 4, and they are indeed connected.  All others, apart from the two which can be a second bedroom for a suite, have balconies.  

Thanks! Still so curious why there are so few reviews of these panorama cabins...

Does that mean an interconnecting door?  Not wishing to be a Debbie Downer, but looking at the deck plan it is not a suite I would not want, as opposed to one lower down on the ship with just suites above and below.

Yes it does, but all Vista suites are also connected to the neighboring one per the deck plan

Our assignment was a whopping 62 days out... 😣

And I actually mean that the minimum Vista and Panorama suites even there Panorama looks smaller (i.e. it cannot even fit a couch...?)

Any update on the wifi on the Journey? Wondering if they have fixed the starlink issues by now... 

We booked a GTY Vista Suite for an upcoming cruise on the silver dawn and logged in today to see we were 'upgraded' to a Panorama Suite on the 9th floor (938).

The big windows are obviously nicer but wondering:

1) The rooms look a lot smaller than Vista Suites on photos, also indicated by that there not being a couch but two chairs, despite being the same size in m^2. Any experience on this?

2) I noticed on the muse few people have complained on noise from the pool and connecting suite, but any recent experience from anyone on the Dawn? Quite light sleepers here so I almost feel this could be a downgrade...

3) Is there a difference in 938-941 and Panorama Suites 946/947? The latter look slightly larger on the deck plan.

Thanks...!
