First time viewer and I am happy to have found it! Was looking for just this sort of comparison and yours was concise and informative. Looking for a premium/luxury cruise for my husband and I and am just overwhelmed with the choices. Recently, looking at Seabourn, Silversea, Oceania and Crystal. He hear Celebrity is good, and I have watched multiple videos that echo that sentiment but I am thinking more luxury. Any thoughts on a recommendation? Will subscribe and like as I get the need to feed the youtube algorythum.
Nadja, Celebrity is good but in a different segment than the others you mention. It is also much larger. Depending your dates and destination I would compare Silversea and Regent if you want a fully inclusive cruise. I would also look at Seabourn and Crystal but they don't include the excursions. Have a great cruise and thanks for subscribing.
Both of the crystal ships will be bringing back the casino. The shore excursions on Silver seas are not free. They have been incorporated into the price point of your cruise.
I also like Seabourn. I will be on the Seabourn Venture this summer. Try Crystal you might like. I think the cabins on Seabourn are bigger and similar to Silversea.
@@luxurycruisetips yes we find the cabins on Seabourn almost identical to Silver Sea. We really like the Thomas Keller restaurant on Seabourn, but I understand they may be discontinuing it later this year.
I have been very loyal Crystal client because both ship offer dance teacher and Ambassadors before the bankrupt, do the A&K new ownership still offer them? Thank you
The last cruise I was on they did have the Ambassadors. I think they also did have the dance teachers. I also noticed some of the dancers from the show we also providing dance lessons.
These are only my opinions after sailing both lines multiple times. I will provide an update comparison in a few months after I said Silver Moon and Crystal Serenity.

Good video. We tend to prefer either Silver Sea or Seabourn. Usually base decision on itinerary and timing. Find them to be fairly comparable. 12:45

Yes to both questions . The quality of Crystal has not been diminished by the purchase of A&K.
What about the price?
I think it is sailing by sailing but I have found that silversea is typically less plus they include the excursions
easy question. Crystal all the way. food quality and staff is key ellements
Thank for your feedback/
Who does train these butlers as they never seem to be correctly trained as butlers should be, and usually their clothes do not fit properly.
I asked our butler this question on silversea and I was told they have an internal training program
@@luxurycruisetips If this is the case and it is an internal train programme then they are not trained butlers.
Very Biased!!
