Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We also feel that SS has an overall product superior to Seabourn. Initially sailed with SS many years ago and found the dining to be less than what we expected- switched to Seabourn and sailed on one of the triplets, all three of the midsize ships and then on to Encore. We were increasingly dissatisfied with the dining and Encore was the most frustrating experience as the ship felt overcrowded and the food was subpar. We decided to revisit SS five years ago and never looked back. We loved the Spirit, Muse, and most recently Dawn. It just seems to be a more polished product- from the butler to perfect cocktails and the dining options. We love to dress for dinner and it appeared that our fellow passengers did as well. There is an intangible “feel” to each line and we are now most comfortable with SS -that makes the extra cost worthwhile.
  2. Both itineraries are wonderful but I would choose the first one in April -we sailed from Barcelona to Dover in late May and the temperatures dropped considerably as we went North. ‘Croatia and Malta will most likely offer warmer and sunnier days and will be less crowded than the summer months.
  3. No the Silver Moon is not the new ship- the Silver Dawn is and I can’t wait to sail on her in July.
  4. We just received our paperwork for the Dawn cruise out of Venice in July and I was surprised to see that a booster is required. We’ve had 2 jabs of the Moderna vaccine and Covid to boot- really did not want to add more medication but unless the restrictions are modifies we will be getting another round.
  5. Thank you- I am looking at a few cruises and wondered about Venice and any issues with that port.
  6. I had heard that Venice was no longer allowing cruiselines to dock /disembark- the port was changed to other nearby cities. The Silver Dawn has Venice listed as its departure port- can anyone clarify? Also, the 14 night itinerary from Venice to Rome does not indicate which ports are serviced via tender vs being docked. Any help is greatly appreciated.
