Seabourn has, without much grace or coordination (so you think I am not impartial?!), begun tweaking the use of the The Restaurant (main dining room) and its larger ships. It has also begun making some other small changes. I will detail these in a moment. But before I do I
Recently I have tried to not say anything negative about Silversea Cruises, but it just keeps giving me reasons to warn people off. The latest fiasco is, to my mind, absolutely inexcusable. Silversea is now making an automatic charge to each guest’s onboard account to pay money to the Maruzza

I am conflicted. I want Seabourn to have stiff competition, not just for marketshare, but for what a luxury product is supposed to be. “Increases the Stakes”, “Keeping Them Honest”, “Refining the Luxury Cruise Experience” or whatever you want to call it. However, calling it as I see it, Silversea
What has caused me to write this entry is a very rude slap one Cruise Critic poster made toward a guest that was not given the royal treatment by Silversea, but was – instead – treated as a “normal” passenger. This is, nonetheless, sort of a tough post because its intent
