Hi Patrick. The sushi restaurant, is amazing. Different menu for lunch and dinner. Think I did a video / short for that too. Have fun with your friends. Francesca
Hello Ms. Barone! Greetings from Connecticut! Hope this finds you having a fabulous holiday! There are four of us sailing on the Ovation in 2025. Needless to say, we are excited. Quick question for you. How was Solis and the overall service of the vessel? Thank you! Get back to me when you can.
Hello there. I dined in Solis once and found it excellent along with the service. Have a fabulous cruise and happy new year to you.
Hi! Perfect! It’s been awhile since we cruised on Seabourn. We sailed on the Odyssey back in 2010! We are taking some friends that have never been on a cruise let alone on a product like Seabourn. We will do a 3 day pre cruise stay in Rome and a 2 day post cruise in Barcelona. It should be a nice time. I was a little dismayed by the removal of Thomas Keller but, oh well. I am a huge sushi lover. I see that the Ovation has a sushi restaurant and excited to enjoy that one too. Thank you for getting back to me! Take care! Patrick
Well, I’m not turning it down
neither should you - it was delicious :-)
I’m boarding Explora I in February. The whisky bar does look amazing but he could have at least pretended to engage with you? I’m hoping for better.
Wow. Looks like I will have to try this our journey 11/22/24. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the tour.
Those are tiny little baby drag cars waiting for the green go light.
It is a pity there is no large wall mirror over the vanity in the bedroom, as we had on the Whisper, and it looks like this ship also does not have electrical outlets near mirrors so that one can see what one is doing while drying one's hair!
You have a very calm voice Francesca, like ASMR. Thank you for the review.
Thank you 😊
Thanks Francesca! We will be on the Dawn in September…this was a great preview 😎
Delighted you enjoyed it. Have an amazing cruise and if you are ever in need of a great specialist cruise travel agent please reach out to me 😊
I hope this entertainmnt in not on my upcoming Alaska Cruise at the end of the month on Crystal. Like being stuck in a bad wedding. Who arranges this naff stuff from hell?
This was a pre inaugural voyage and as such just trade, Crystal people and journalists. However on a Crystal voyage there is usually a White night. You of course are not obliged to participate. Greetings from Silver Moon 😊💙🌊
Thanks. Shame there are no shaded loungers, so one would literally have to lay in the sun which is not my thing.
Was so excited to see a video dedicated to the fitness center, as I've really been wanting to see the Pilate machines up close and personal. So disappointed you didn't even walk over to them. It doesn't appear they have a ballet bar with springs to accompany the machines like Club Pilates does, so that's a bummer. Do you know if anyone can walk-in and use the Pilates machines? If so, I will be on them every day. I've been taking Pilates for years, so not interested in paying $125 an hour for private lessons.
Sorry my video coverage wasn't to your satisfaction. I'm sure that if you liaise with Explora Journeys and/or your Travel Agent, that they will be able to get the necessary more specific answers to your question. As would I if you were one of my clients and you asked for the information.
The scenery is gorgeous. The drink looks phenomenal!
Personally I'm not a dark spirit drinker but had spotted this spectacular presentation when passing and had to grab a video. 😊
Cant wait til im on that ship
Stunning ship. Have an amazing time.
@@Elitecruisesuk only if I win the lottery
@@tomsimpson5317 Good luck 🙂
Maximum temperature of 25C seems chilly for a thermal pool?
Maybe they have turned it up since then ! On the upside all the different whirlpools were lovely and warm.
Is this buffet self serve?
Yes it is to the best of my knowledge, though I didn't eat there myself as too many other wonderful places to choose from.
Your video made my day. I am booked on the Vista October 2025. We leave from Monte Carlo. This outdoor spa was one of my favorite parts of my first Oceania Cruise on the Riviera. This area on the Vista is so much better. Thank you again. Cruise well and enjoy every moment.
Hi Gary. It's just stunning. Have an incredible time on Vista.
Why are guests not dancing? This White Night looks more like a show, not a party. Old Crystal had a great White Night dancing party with most guests dancing. All dance hosts and dance performers were dancing with the guests.
Hi Sofia - this was a pre-inaugural voyage, so was all people from the trade and journalists. It wasn't an actual paying guest voyage. I've seen plenty of pics on social media on voyages since, where guests are enjoying and dancing the night away.
excellent cooking entertainment from Chef Heidi in the Night Market
Looks like its a slow paced enviroment unlike where i am in dubai where we make 200+ cocktails a night 2 mixologists. And multiple of other beverage.
Definitely a slower pace 😊
Hello, thanks for the cabin tour. Which room number did you have? I have a question about the noise and music. On the Celebrity Edge class, the music is very loud everywhere. You can hear the party music and daytime entertainment 3 decks below the pool deck, even in your cabin. You can also hear the conversations and music from the restaurant terrace from 5 decks below. Can you hear music and noise from the pool or buffet restaurant (e.g. chairs being moved, footsteps, etc.)on thr balcony or in the cabin? Below your cabin on deck 5 is the terrace of a restaurant. What about the noise here (clinking cutlery, conversations, music,...)? Thanks in advance
Explora Journeys are not really 'party' ships. I didn't experience any noise interference. Suite number as mentioned in the walk around tour and text was 8064. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much! Have a nice evening!@@Elitecruisesuk
The video was titled "Grand Suite...", but in the video you say "Master Suite".
You are correct but I do correct myself in my commentary. Was doing multiple walk around tours and made a small error. Apologies.
@@Elitecruisesuk Hopinfuly, should things work out I'll be on this ship in 2024 - maybe in the Grande Suite. 😎😎🤷🏿♀🤞🏿
That room setup looks really nice and well equipped 😊 Thanks fir sharing Francesca
My pleasure - glad you enjoyed the video - there are plenty more of this ship and others, on my RUclips channel.
I'm assuming, you use the chairs outside to sit at the long desk with a computer? Or do you have to put the computer in your lap while sitting on the sofa?
Thanks for your comment. I see no reason why you couldn't move in a chair from the balcony but I'm sure if you asked your host/butler, they could come up with a suggestion/solution for you. 😊
@@Elitecruisesuk Thank you 👍 I'm looking forward to my cruise!
@@GlobalAdventurer have a wonderful time
Are the sauna and steam rooms co-Ed or located inside the respective changing rooms?
Morning Jake. I actually can't remember! I think co-ed but would check with your local Silversea office to be sure. If you'd like me to check for you do just drop me an email to francesca@elitecruises.co.uk
I loved the Arts Cafe whilst being a Guest on Silversea Nova ,October 2023 .Many times I frequented the so called , indulging in some coffee and cake. The friendly staff at the Reception were always ready with help and information. Seeing this above, and sitting at my home in Australia gives me a certain Nostalgia of the nice time I had.. Thank you. Mrs.K.Moody
My pleasure, delighted to hear you had a wonderful cruise.
Indeed I had if possible I would go straight again
👏🏻👏🏻
All sorts of evening entertainment and lectures, perhaps cooking demonstrations. In other venues will be various musicians. Then you have Silver Note which is the Jazz and dining evening venue. You won't be short of things to see, listen to and do. If you'd like to discuss reach out to me at francesca@elitecruises.co.uk
What kind of entertainment did you see at this venue? also the rest of the ship?
Would have been nice to have a few crowd shots so us future cruisers could see what people are wearing.
As the cruise I was on was all trade, journalists, travel writers etc, and therefore not 'actual' guests, it wouldn't in truth, have provided a true depiction. I'm sure that if you connect to the Crystal groups on social media that you may be able to ask and/or see the sort of imagery you have just requested. Happy cruising.
Extremely helpful video! Thank you! Would you recommend the junior penthouse suites that are forward - like this one - or aft?
Personally if a choice between forward and aft I'd do aft but just my opinion 🙋♀️ If you need any more assistance just drop me an email to francesca@elitecruises.co.uk
We hav cruise Dec 10th 2023 … can’t wait !!! Your videos are amazing!
Thanks for your kind words - how exciting - have a wonderful cruise. If you ever need anyone to assist with the booking of these don't hesitate to let me know 🙂
Can't wait for our Alaska cruise next year on Oceana in '24
I'm sure you'll have an incredible time ☺
do you think it would be good for a world cruise?
Hey Sean. My initial response is absolutely. Very spacious. However how that feels to you will hinge on what sort of accommodation on board you'd usually have from comparison purposes. 😊
i want to win the lottery and go on a cruise with silver seas. i dont play the lottery though lol
Just finished a cruise on this ship….what a disaster!111
What happened?
Oh wow - this is a grade of cruising I don't think I'll ever experience personally. It's absolutely stunning - puts my usual inside cabins to total shame, ha!
She is gorgeous but it's also wonderful there is affordability for us all in the sector.
@@Elitecruisesuk i am a single travelor i assume there is a fee for me
@@kathleemcallister good morning. There are usually single supplement fees which can sometimes be zero on limited voyages but more usually range from 25>100%. There is an area on Silversea.com where you can view the solo occupancy rates on certain voyages where they are less.
I loved the Arts Cafe on the Moon. Morning coffee was always up to Melbourne coffee snob standard. And a couple of chocolate truffles with decaf tea finished off the day perfectly.
Even more wonderful on Nova...... She really is a game-changer. Ha ha ref being a coffee snob. I'm half Italian and am also a coffee snob!
*Promosm* 💥
can it be purchased on board? Thank you
Yes Luigi, there's a Rolex shop on board. Only one purchase per suite though.
@@Elitecruisesukdid they have more variations in the back or only whats available in glass case ?
@@thingsyoulike1391 I didn't take photos and or videos of entire inventory of watches as it wouldn't have been appropriate. This was really just to offer news that Rolex had a shop on board this ship. Perhaps reaching out to Rolex themselves might provide more info?
@@Elitecruisesuk Which watch could be purchased per suite ?
@@Coolguy24686 the Rolex
We've only just discovered your channel here Francesca, but we know we will be visiting it more in the future so have happily SUBSCRIBED today to explore more Elite cruises 👍
Love the look of the Marquee, so bright and airy like you say.
Totally incredible space that will struggle in non sunshine climates but apparently there are plans to deal with that as I've asked.
Interesting 🤔@@Elitecruisesuk
Elegant and stylish as we would have expected, but we really like the uncluttered spacious feel thats mostly created by the subtle tones of the décor and furnishings. Nice tour 👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed my walkabout and ramblings 😊 Scenic Eclipse II next....
Great. We've just watched the series Maritime Masters featuring the Scenic Eclipse, so will be interested in seeing your vlog on Eclipse ll@@Elitecruisesuk
Loving and appreciating your walk abouts! As you were just off Silver Nova, how did the experience compare?
Thank you Peter. Great question and one I'm being asked a lot. There are definitely some similarities, but some differences too. I'll be writing an article soon once back as I did with Nova. Perhaps I can point you to my website and keep an eye? Would hope to have it done within a week of return (tomorrow) Not sure if you read my Nova one? www.elitecruises.co.uk/nova-nova-so-good-ive-named-you-twice/
Thanks for the link - I will (eventually) read both!@@Elitecruisesuk
@@peterfriedman5404 haha. No pressure 😊
the small sign says "For Exhibition Only"😢
There are plenty of other styles in the shop 😊
@@Elitecruisesuk They are all exhibition only. Just like most Rolex ADs, you cannot buy watches in this store.
@@robertoceferino1456 you can of course double check with Explora Journeys if you wish. We were advised they can be purchased and there is a limit of one watch purchasable per suite.
@@Elitecruisesuk They've fed you a PR line I'm afraid. I've just been there and all of the watches were for exhibition only. Which is unsurprising.
@@robertoceferino1456 I have checked again with Explora Journeys. You are partly right that you cannot buy watches in a Rolex store on land. However, on the ship you can.. No pre-orders - based upon what they have in stock. The ruling is that 2 Rolex per day can be sold out of the shop and only one per suite. Always strictly subject to stock levels of course. Perhaps they had stock issues when you were on board?
No, I can't. I'm creating art and have no time to explain myself. Drink and be merry or be gone!
Thank you again for another wonderful video! Can’t wait for your comparisons to Nova. Do you feel the ship is spacious enough to handle 922 passengers? Thanks
I do think she is and her space ratio compares almost identically to Silversea's Muse class ships for comparison purposes.
Is explora 1 equally ultra luxury like crystal cruises, regent seven seas, and silversea?
Early days but I'd say in with a chance. Different concept. I'll be doing an article soon on elite cruises.co.uk so keep an eye out.
Can't wait to sail in 2025!!!
She's such a stunning ship.
